Guys,
Here in Australia we struggle to find economically priced barrels ... so we have to improvise, adapt and overcome.

Anyone know whether an A&B M98 prefit can be rethreaded for a Savage without losing much if any length, or how much length will be lost if made to fit? Friend is interested in the A&B stainless fluted M98 pre-fit if it can be turned for use on his Stevens 200.

M98 shank is 1.2" so that's a no brainer that it can be made to fit, but can the threaded M98 tenon be taken down to Savage's threading to prevent lose of length?
Cheers...
Con
