[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1796451, member: 112579"] I should let him tell it but basically the barrel shank cannot be a bigger diameter than the threads. The large shank is 1 1/16 inch. The small I am not sure but I assume one inch. Most custom barrels come at 1.2 or 1.25 unless ordered different. SO When I rebarrel a savage I throw the nut away and use a better recoil lug and butt the full shank diameter up against the recoil lug. Gives you more meat close to the action. More meat means less vibration and whip. Thence better theoretical accuracy.Also I torque the action on at 120 ft lbs. With good moly grease on the threads. You do not want to grow one together because it galled the threads [/QUOTE]
