Yes, both actions discussed in this thread are standard length.

I didn't actually measure the distance between the screws.
First I compared it to a stripped commercial Zastava (intermediate length) action I keep next to my desk.
Then compared it a stripped commercial Zastava (standard length) action I keep next to my desk.

Then ran an Argentine 1909 bolt(that I keep next to my desk) into it/them to confirm which bolt actually fits, since there are oddball Mausers with standard length actions and intermediate bolts.

interesting. Learn something new every day. i've never seen one of these rifles that wasn''t an intermediate length like the FN 24 action.
