I would ask your smith to test-fit the action to the stock. If it fits, ask him to also measure the action screw spacing. It really doesn't matter whether it is long or short, both will work, but you need to know before ordering the other parts. If he gets annoyed, just keep in mind it was he that said it was a long action...
