[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1703119, member: 24284"] The tenon length, the part with the threads on it, will vary from rifle to rifle, action to action. Will the action be faced before measuring for the new barrel install? That tenon length will be completely dependent on the person doing the barrel install if you are expecting a length to the thousandth (.001"). That will have a bearing on length. When you call Mc to order, they will want to know the length of the shank from the face of the action to where the steep angle of the taper begins. A scaled length is all that is need. They will want to know the diameter of the barrel shank, also. Then , they will want to know the maker of the barrel and contour. Then, you wait. To have the barreled action seemless to the stock, wait until the metal work is complete before ordering the stock. As for what the shank length should be, in general the shoulder of the cartridge when chambered should not go past where the steep taper begins. I'd rather have that length a bit long than too short. If the person doing the barrel install is 'slick', he could duplicate the length of the shank (from the face of the action to where the steep taper begins). But me, I'd wait until the metal work s done..... [/QUOTE]
