Since your stock is a factory one there's really no need to measure yours but THANKS anyways. I'm just keeping track of what's out there for M98's that might have short fore ends. My M98 has a 20" bb and I just don't like the looks of a full length fore end on it. I shortened the fore end on a Choate M98 stock 3" for my short bbl'd HVA 1640. Got another one coming so I'll just do it to.
