The difference between a "long frame" and a "short frame" is all in front of the takedown lever. From there on back they are close enough to dimensionally the same that parts are just about interchangeable (perhaps with a little fiddleing). I married up a 1900 rear toggle link with a 1906 forward toggle link and breechblock and installed them in a 1900 receiver. I had to open up the extractor notch in the receiver and barrel to accept the new model extractor, but everything else went together well.
