MB 40 – 9.5 X 42R MB UTENDOERFFER “b/a” TYPE

   

    

This is MB40 from Dixon. The “b/a” type appears very similar to the “b” but RWS factory drawings of other “/a” types shows that these appear different around the shoulder, generally with a larger diameter shoulder and longer neck. This may well be an attempt at ‘normalising’ the case type produced by several companies all with dimensional differences.
