The barrel measures 22.25" from the bolt face.

WOW! Nice one you did well!!
very nice!
whats the barrel measurement on the standard m59?
That's beautiful StraightShooter, congratulations! Just guessing I would have thought those barrels would have been a little longer.

The C series SKS measures 20.5" from the bolt face.

Lower left hand corner. The picture did not turn out very well.

Really nice looking Long Barrel SS!
