    Large or Small shank


    I have a Lilja 6mm barrel laying around and was thinking of a build. My choices run from 6BR to 244 AI or 6/284. Is there a better action to thread this for? Large vs Small? I would like to thread the barrel now so I'll know what action to look for.
    Looking purely at resale value (when I get tired of the 6mm), which thread size would help the barrel sell easier??

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

    I don't have an exact number, but I would say close to 95% of Savages are small shank barrels.

    Small it is. I have a large shank 6.5-284 barrel that I have to get turned for a small receiver also. I'll get them done at the same time.
