I think from the front of the saw, hopefully someone will confirm

Generally from where the dogs are mounted - thats the front of the oil tank and not from the clutch cover!

Yes, or more exactly, from the front of the saw body (usually front of the oil tank, but not always) to the top of a cutter at the tip of the bar.

 

"Called" length usually is inaccurate, and in some cases downright misleading....

Its the " working length " not the total . Should be written on the bar down at the mount end .

The 130MPBK095 is 13" and uses a 56 link chain 1.3mm gauge 0.325" pitch - not sure how the current bar and chain come in to the equation - just depends on the bar mount which we have already gone through:confused1:
