Anyone own a Savage 10 FCP? Need dimentions

[jrkotz]

Hey guys, long shot here, but was hoping someone with a Savage 10FCP could give me a quick measurement.

I'm looking at this one - https://www.savagearms.com/firearms/centerfire/long-range/10-fcp-mcmillan

Has the McMillan stock and I want to replace the barrel with a Proof Research 6.5 Creed barrel and am trying to figure out if the new barrel will fit the stock.

The new barrel measures 1.016" at 10" from the shank.

Thanks

My name is Max, I work at McMillan.
We inlet those A-5 Stocks for the Factory Varmint barrel. The Proof Barrels are a bit larger, but your should be able to sand out the barrel channel or send it back to us for us to Re-Inlet.

A factory small shank barrel is something like 1.062" at the shank (under the nut), tapering to the muzzle. Odds are good you'll have plenty of clearance. On the off chance you want a little more, wrap some sand paper around an appropriately sized dowel stick from the hardware store (couple $$$ for both) and open it up a fuzz. Touch up the paint inside the barrel channel as needed / desired.

Thanks Max and milanuk. I was hoping for a straight swap. Doesn't sound too bad to open up the channel a bit.

Sandpaper around an appropriate size deep well socket works also.

I have used a spark plug socket wrapped in fine grit sandpaper to open a channel or two.
