[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1469896, member: 11132"] You can always open up any small shank reciever to the large shank threads. That wqould also ensure they are perfectly inline wqith the centerline and get the face squared as well. The reason for the larger shank is not just about the area inside the receiver but IMO its more about its diameter outside where the barrel nut is. On all other actions you have the shoulder at 1.25 and larger where the savage is noblarger than the thread major. That area is under just outside the receiver is seeing those same pressures. In fact wqhen you see barrels fail many times its right there on non shouldered barrels. See it all the time with ARs as well. That barrel nut does not get factored in computing hoop stress. IMHO that is why you see large shank for wsm rsaum actions and did for rums as well. [/QUOTE]
