[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1230263, member: 27307"] merbeau, I think this is more complicated than it needs to be. I don't think I've seen this reference for a barrel contour: Here are the standard Remington contours from Douglas: [url=http://www.douglasbarrels.net/contours/]Douglas Barrels, Inc[/url] Here are the standard Remington contours from Shilen: [url=http://www.shilen.com/contours.html]Welcome to Shilen Rifles, Inc.[/url] These are provided just for a starting reference point. You need to measure your barrel at the similar points of measurement for the charts in the links then compare the two. Many of the older gunsmiths contoured blanks individually without bothering to keep a standard because they usually had to inlet the stock to fit anyway. So get your dimensions and get as close as you can with Richards then plan on doing or getting some inletting done. Without a standard there is no such thing as drop-in. As far as I know the post-1957 solid side FN Mausers were all the standard large ring M98 Mauser dimensions so I would guess that somewhere the measurements are off by less than a 1/16th of an inch.

Don't forget to bed it! The 1:14" twist will basically handle 55 grain bullets with a length of 0.750" at 3500 -3600 fps. Don't forget the Hornady 75 gr. AMAX will work in that 1:9" twist also.
