You guys keep talking about the long barrel on the MHG like it was longer than standard rifles of the era. It had a 26" barrel the same as the 1899A, B, and C's. As a matter of fact it was an 1899A barreled action with a few slight modifications like the muzzle turned down for the bayonet. It even had the high gloss receiver-not very military-like.
