Reply With QuoteThe barrel nut on a large shank is shorter.
The barrel on a large shank sporter barrel will have a step or reduction in size just in front of the barrel nut.
Without actually measuring, how can you find out which models are small and which models are large shank actions? I have located the following rifle, Savage Model 16 FCSS Bolt Action in .7MM WSM online and I would like to know which size threading it is before I purchase. Only reason it really matters to me is I have some ideas to swap some stuff around with some parts I already have.

WSM is almost assuredly a large shank, but as with all things Savage, there are exceptions running around out there.

I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
