Presuming the LOP is 14" I took a steel machinist's rule and laid it to the edge of the butt plate and at the front trigger it measured just a hair more than 2 5/16". Then I measured the barrel using this 2 5/16" scale and got a rough 28" plus about 2" barrel length. So to me it looks closer to 30" if my very rough calc'lations mean anything.
