Anyone know how to tell the difference?

I have one or the other, but haven't found anything online that I think is definitive.

Thanks.

It is Othius and he can get a bit long winded, but he covers the 88/05 and a bit on the 88/14 and several of the other variations around that rifle.
You may also need to watch the video on the 88 to get full context.

I think the charger guides are welded onto the '05 and are machined into the receiver of the '14?

Thanks very much.  Was able to confirm from the video that I have an 88/05 from the profile of the clip bridge.

From the video, the 88/05 were riveted on and then polished.  The 88/14 were welded on (and have a different profile).
