The barrel lengths of my two 'new' rifles are :
8x56 MS - Steyr MS model 1908 - 52 cm / 20 1/2 inches
9.5x57 MS - Steyr MS model 1910 - 56 cm / 22 inches
By comparison the following barrel lengths of three other rifles:
Steyr M95 (straight pull) in 8x56 - 48.5 cm / 19 inches
Steyr Greek 1903 6.5x54 MS - 44 cm / 17 1/2 inches
Steyr probably model 1895 (Dutch) 6.5x53R - 43 cm / 17 inches
So the M1910 and M1908 still have shortish barrels at 52 to 56 cms but longer than the carbine length rifles.
