[QUOTE="406pat, post: 437867, member: 13575"] I believe most barrel makers will turn a 7WSM on a small shank. a couple years ago I built a .300 RUM on a Stevens 200 with a standard bolt face. I put a Shilen barrel on that one and had no problem getting the small shank. Any good gunsmith should be able to thread and fit a barrel to the small shank as well as thread and fit a brake. Only other thing I changed was the bolt face.
