1910 Barrel length

Is there a standard or common barrel length for the 1910? Is there a rifle, carbine or take down length difference?
I have seen the information on the various old advertisements posted here that indicate longer barrels but unclear if there was a standard.

Cheers

Re: 1910 Barrel length

According to the 1914 Franz Sodia, Ferlach, and the 1929 Steyr factory catalogs, the standard M1910 barrels were 50 cm = 19.7” for the full-stocked carbines and 60 cm = 23.6” for half stocked rifles. The Sodia catalog mentions non-standard barrel lengths up to 75 cm = 29.5” barrels as available on special order. All the time you could order half-stocked carbines with 50 cm barrels too, if you did not like the extra wood to the muzzle of the full stock.

My 1910 rifle has an approximately 56 cm/22 inch barrel.

Re: 1910 Barrel length

Casper50, you forgot the 1.5 cm threaded part of the barrel that is screwed into the receiver! The correct way to measure barrel length: Close the empty,cocked rifle. insert a rod into the barrel until it touches the breechface. Mark the muzzle position and measure the length of rod to the mark.

Re: 1910 Barrel length

In the states we don't usually measure the threaded portion of the barrel. Don't know why, just the way it's usually done.

Re: 1910 Barrel length

Afaik measuring barrel length this way, from breech face to muzzle, is the accepted US practice to determine if a barrel is of the legal minimum 16" for a rifle.

Re: 1910 Barrel length

kuduae is exactly right. Barrel length includes the part that is screwed into the barrel.

50 cm on mine sounds about right...

Mine is probably 1 1/2 inches longer then.

Re: 1910 Barrel length

kuduae's example is precisely how the ATF measures a barrel.

1939 Stoeger, note barrel lengths as well as 'special order' options:



My 1922 proofed M1910 Take Down Model has a 60 cm barrel.
