I did a lot more measuring. To begin with, my first measurements where off. I remembered, correctly the the shank of the 44 1/2 is 1.5" but, I used that as the top of the receiver length. Measuring my 44 1/2's, the actual, top of the receiver is 1 5/16" long so, there is a error of 14% in those dimensions. So, I started over using the distance from the bottom corner of the receiver to the top corner of the octagon, as pictured. That distance is 4.6" on my rifles. I also enlarged the picture about 25%, over what I used before but, I doubt that it helped much because it blurs more too. Using the new reference, I get the following: Receiver length at the top = 1.315 Receiver with barrel stub = 1.47 Barrel length = 17.75 Octagon = 6.56 Forearm = 7.56 Scope = 15.18 Mount spacing = 6.87 LOP = 11.5 You may think, while some of the measurements are right on, you may also think that some of those those dimensions just can't be, right? That's what I thought, too! So, I remembered from some some source, that eye spacing is pretty standard. I looked that up and the average is 64mm or 2.52 (+/- .12 on the extreme ends). I measured his eye spacing and it came out 2.49. This guy is of slight build. His body width is about 2 - 3" less than mine, across his arms and I'm 5'8". His upper and lower arm is also less than mine. I'm going to guess that he is no taller than 5'5". So then, I would say that he had this rifle built especially for himself and that is why he appears to be so proud of it. Frank
