No, I hadn't. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

That's interesting about the 655 being a carbine, considering the 655 image we have here clearly isn't one.

Pretty sure the person claiming the 655 was a carbine rather than a sniper is wrong. Their description of the "655 carbine" seems to match the 651. Lots of other places list the 655 as this sniper variant, including "The Black Rifle" book by R. Blake Stevens.
