If you do a lot of offhand shooting, this may be a "con"
On the "pro" side, short barrels, for the same OD are stiffer, and stiffer is better ALWAYS in...
Spinners can be as challenging as you want, LOL!

The long one seems to be the "Waidmannsheil"...

"Just go to Amazon and search for item # B09NRHF1JS"
NB.- I have NO RELATION to the seller. This is a brand the OP found and I analyzed from the technical POV and he made the effort to buy and relate his experiences. All credit goes to COBRA.
HTH, keep well and shoot straight...
Trying to solve TWO problems at the same time is hard.

Given that you are not changing the barrel arrangement, it SHOULD shoot close and then minor adjustments can take place.
I THINK that the...
VERY interesting, THANKS!
Just one question: Doesn't it affect eye relief?

You're blazing a trail for others to follow, my friend, THANKS!

It is fairly easy, Cobra.

I am really no expert in the Gew98, and the post WW 1 period is a peculiar period because of the quick German government changes.
