Anyone know the distance from the face of the bolt to the bolt shroud front for a Ruger American?

Thats the shoulder on the rear of the bolt where the bolt shroud sits .

I hope you dont plan on doing any machining off of those measurements!

The bolt face depth. Was looking for a gauge protrusion depth from the back of the tenon. Looks like .135" is about right.
