[QUOTE="geargrinder, post: 431551, member: 6705"] Large shank vs. small shank isn't worth worrying about. The OD of the action and barrel nut are the same so there isn't much net difference. With a small shanks you'll get a thinner barrel wall but thicker action and thicker barrel nut. With a large shank you'll get a thicker barrel wall but thinner action and thinner barrel nut. I've never heard of a split small shank barrel nut, but I have heard of split large shank barrel nuts. I've built a couple 338 Edges, and several WSM's. All of them were on small shanks and run them on the hot side. No signs of problems yet and I don't expect them any time soon. [/QUOTE]
