As the title says. My Turk Mauser is pretty damn long. What's longest?
Depends on how far back you want to go. The 3 longest I have: 1884 Trapdoor-52 1/8'', Westinghouse M1891 Mosin Nagant- 51 1/2'', Japanese Type 38- 50 1/8'', all minus the bayonet. Shortest: Venezuelan 7mm carbine- 37 3/8''.
Possibly the M1866 Allen conversion. Same length as the 1863 rifled musket. (Which length I don't remember.) Or a Snider.
Woops! My Bavarian Army Werder Cavalry Carbine is 80 cm. long (30 1/2 inches)Quote:

The longest I can offer is:
BPCR - the Mauser M1871 at 53" precisely (i.e. to a 1/16")
Smokeless - the Swiss G96/11 at 51 5/8"
The Mauser M1918 anti-tank rifle was 66 1/8" long. The cartridge was 5 3/16" long. How long was the Boys?

The 1865 and 1666 Allen conversions ar 56" long. Which is pretty long for a shoulder fired (whilst standing)rifle.
What about the Polish Anti-tank rifle? It's pretty long, too. According to the "internets" it's 1760mm or 69 1/4".
20mm lahti ?
The thing is huge, yet still is a "rifle".

Lots of good ones here guys. I have never seen that Chinese Jingal before! I want one! That's an incredibly unusual weapon.
They also made them with enfield actions!
