I was just reading John Speeds Oberndorf Sporter book, and he mentioned that the floor plate on 9.3x62 Mauser actions are thicker, I assume, to allow a little more recess room for the follower spring. I wonder if the same is true for Oberndorf 98 sporters in 6.5x55. I own an original Type A in 9.3x62 with an inside bow floorplate release. The magazine is definitely standard depth, but I’ve never examined the floorplate. It holds five down, no problem. I have a complete Oberndorf commercial 30-06 action. I can take some measurements of the two floorplates for comparison, if you are interested. BTW: the 9.3 x62 floorplates don’t really look thicker to my eye. The 10.75x68, which Speed states are also thicker, look quite obviously thicker, to my eye. I would love to find an original Oberndorf 10.75x68 bottom metal.
