So how exactly is the retracted length calculated?

I pulled out my Bimba catalog from last year which I am assuming is going to be the same as this years. From what I can see from the drawings is that when retracted the 31_-DXP with 2 inch bore has a lengh of "5.62 + Stroke" from the rear center hole to the bottem of the mounting threads.
Edit: I orgionally thought that the center hole was half way between the .44 stub, but I looked at the drawing again and I think that the .44 is actually the distance to center which would make more sense. So yeah... The thread is .88 long as far as I can tell.
So I would say its overall 6.72 + stroke for overall length, meaning 30.92" end to end compacted with no mounting hardware. The thickest part is 2.08"
As for weight it is 1.62 + .15 per stroke, so 5.22 pounds.
Hope this helps, if you want I can scan the page and upload it as an image tomarrow if you need. Bimba also has all of this on their site. They can even make Cad/Inventor models dynamicly for you if I remember right.
