Yes, I think it was 28 inches for the Russian contract muskets. I've never owned one - in fact, this is the only '95 musket I have owned. I want my next M1895 musket to be a Savage

How many different calibers were offered in the M1895? I saw one in .38-72 once and it was in terrible condition, mostly 30-06 and 30-40 Krag.
