Whats it called?

[Mozella]

Whats the area called on a stock of a Savage 93f where a cupped area rises up in the stock to support the chamber area of the barrel? It's the part where the barrel connects to the action...trying to decide whether to leave that part of barrel floated or bed it for accuracy..

I think the technical name for the area right between the barrel and the action is "Taint".

Taint is a contraction coming from the full description of that area; i.e. "It ain't action and it ain't barrel".

Or said in a more colloquial way, "Taint action, Taint Barrel". Hence the word "Taint".

I could be wrong though and I want to make it clear I'm not an actual gunsmith. My major in collage was anatomy.
