Does any one know if it is the same as The Savage small shank or large shank??????Thanks for your help, Huntz
Savage small (normal sized) shank.
1.05" x 20 TPI is Savage Spec. I think Marlin spec is 1.06" x 20 TPI

That said, The switch barrel folks on Marlin Shooters forum are interchanging them, ****BUT**** The chamber depth is bored deeper on Savage barrels, meaning you might bottom out a Savage Barrel on a Marlin bolt, and still have ****too much headspace****.
Face .010" off the breech end of any Savage prefit barrel and you're GTG on the Marlin X series rifles.
