Barrel Contour/Stock Fitment

[metalfarm]

Noob questions to follow....

having a 6.5PRC built with a proof carbon lite sendero. Stock is Manners Elite T5A I bought used. Seller says stock is M24 and he bought it from Altus. Altus website says their T5A is heavy palma contour.

Will my barrel fit properly?
How do I figure out if it'll fit on my own so I don't have to ask this question again in the future?
Does the stock need to be a perfect fit or is any barrel smaller than what the stock is contoured for appropriate?

Thanks

Sendero should easily fit in a m24 and I’d imagine a heavy Palma cut as well.

You should be able to send any reputable Smith anything up to a flat top and not have to worry about the barre fitting.. Sure a drop in would be nice but knocking a little meat off a stock would be the easiest thing for a smith.
