Larry,

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

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.

Here are the pics. The swivels I have for this rifle are the real deal. Not repro’s. The rear swivel measures 3 5/8″ from the center to the end of the buttplate. Thanks all. Big Larry
