savage barrel shank size
can a savage barrel with the larger shank size from a wsm caliber fit on the smaller shank size. This was taken from a smith site-
The shank diameter on Savage's standard calibers is 1.055" The Savage rifles chambered in Remington Ultra Mag and Winchester Short Magnum have a larger shank diameter. These measure 1.120" The outside of the barrel nut is the same diameter on both the standard calibers and the Ultra Mag - WSM calibers. All barrels are threaded 20 threads per inch. Note: Some of the first Ultra Mag and WSM rifles were made with the smaller diameter shank. The larger diameter shank barrels will have a step in front of the barrel nut.
Thank you, Joe

joes,
I'm not into the different sizes of tenons of Savage, but I've heard there is two different sizes. That said you can turn down a barrel and re-thread it I heard but cannot directly change them over.
If in fact you cannot turn the tenon (shank) down and re-thread it, you can cut it off and re-cut the tenon and re-chamber the barrel.0
