Hi Rich, There is no difference in the over all length of a Mauser frame (120mm) with or without the "hump". The hump is not formed by adding additional material to the back of the frame, but by removing metal from the lower half of the back of the frame. Imperial era frames were 1mm shorter, and they had the axle pin jamming issue. Regards, Norm.
