break over barrel length

[*tim*]

do you measure from the break to the muzzle including the chamber or not?

Including the chamber. That's for rifles and shotguns and pistols. Revolvers though do not include the chamber.

From bolt face to end of muzzle.

Technically it varies.
For rifles & pistols, not revolvers.
IF the brake is "permanently attached" you measure for legal purposes from the closed bolt face to the front edge of the muzzle device.

IF it is "removable" (not "welded & pinned") then you measure from the closed bolt face to the end of the muzzle, ignoring the add on brake.
