Come on you collectors. I cannot believe that no one has an answer for me. Thanks, Big Larry

Larry,
What is your post in reference too??? Your post makes no sense (at least to me) without any reference point.

I think he is refering to this post? https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-rifles/winchester-m1894-32-special-circa-1903-1/

Jeff,
Thanks, I believe that you are correct.
Larry,
In the future, please do not start an entirely new topic when you have an open topic question that has not yet been answered… it leads to confusion, and creates clutter.

Thanks. I am sure there is a little variance in these measurements. My factory letter does not mention the swivels, but they are the real deal. 1903 vintage M1894 round bbl. takedown in 32 Special. A good 98% in condition. Thanks, Big Larry

i have a couple of other 92’s and 94’s and one other 1886 with pistol grip stock that have original swivels and they are all around 4″ from the toe. arthur pirkles book on 1894’s states the 4″ measurement as well.
