I know I have this somewhere, but cannot lay my hands on it. Does anyone have them handy for the normal length 98's, the the shorter 7mm length, the Pre-war Mag. Mauser actions and the Brevex Mg. action (postwar)?
Thanks,

I can't remember where I found this document but it's got some good information in it.
