I know that with a shotgun, you can simply insert a wooden dowel in the barrel until it hits the closed breech face of the bolt and measure the distance to the end of the barrel. Is this also how rifle barrel length is measured?
The reason I ask is that I recently acquired a custom rifle and in reading about barrel length impact on velocity, I am curious to know the barrel length of this gun. Also, another person told me to measure to the front of the recoil lug but I thought I'd ask the experts.
Thanks,
