[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 519083, member: 19372"] Stick a cleaning rod in through the muzzle with the bolt closed. Put a piece of tape around it at the muzzle. Measure from the end of the rod to the tape - that is the barrel length of your rifle, bolt face to crown, as I've always seen it defined. If you ordered a 27" barrel, your gunsmith should have included in his cost estimate ordering a blank that would finish to at least 27" as measured above, in other words, 27" bolt face to crown, and delivered a barrel that matched that measurement within practical limits.
