Model 1905 versus Model 1908 barrel profile
#395587 - 08/01/26 04:41 AM

Does anyone have both a Model 1908 and Model 1905 carbine with 19.7 inch barrel? I am curious if there is any difference in the barrel profiles between the two. Is the muzzle diameter the same on both? Thinking a Model 1908 originally in 8x56 could have the barrel bored out to 35 cal and re-chambered to 9x56. Looks like there are a couple of Model 1908s that have worn out barrels available. Having them re-barreled would be expensive due to integral sling swivel/barrel ring that is part of the original barrel. Do not want to re-stock.

I have one pre-WWII Mannlicher in caliber 6,5x57. Someone has switched the barrel in year -64. It seems that barrel is some inches longer than original one. It has original type barrel ring but I´m sure it´s not same piece with barrel but fitted to it´s place with heat.

So no one has either a 1905 or 1908 carbine they can measure the muzzle of? I know the person doing the re-bore is going to ask me what the diameter of the current barrel is when I ask about having it bored from 8mm to 35cal. Help please.
