[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1619010, member: 38048"] Been a custom Smith since 92. Most smiths can do shanks on custom actions such as those by Borden or Kelbleys because the head space and threads are very consistent. I specialize in Remington 700s and to be honest they are all over the place. But once I blue print one it is easy to make more barrels from the print. Most barrels crush about .001 to .002 when tightening so it you chamber .002 deep from zero headspace it will be good. Most chambers have .004 to .005 tolerance. If you have the barrel that came off of the action it can be copied no problem by most smiths. Even the headspace can be had from it. If your barrel is completely no good just cut if off in front of the chamber. Or send the whole barrel. Easy job. Can even get the cartridge stamp back in the right spot. Shep [/QUOTE]
