I'm saying the difference in length is negligible, so small that it can barely be discerned even when the rifles are side-by-side.
There's no way in Hell that Ian could feel the tiny difference in length. What he is actually noticing is the difference in weight.
Nominal weight of the T3E2 is the same as the M14, which is actually a bit longer than the M1, but handles noticeably better.
