Best Answer

check that the firearm is unloaded. Then check it again. Close the action. Take a wooden dowel slightly smaller than the inside of the barrel, and slide it into the barrel until it rests on the face of the bolt. Mark the dowel at the muzzle. Withdraw the dowel, and measure from the end to the mark.
