thanks,i really appreciate your help. that's a start. i don't have the action here, but is the overall length from the front of the front receiver ring to the end of the rear tang where the rear bolt goes ?

i'm really surprised with all these bolt gun guys you are the only one who answered. makes me think they don't know either !
