Hi All,

Can someone please explain what a .452 butt size is? I am trying to find/buy a blank that is similar in size to one I have at home.

Thank You,

Chris Tulk

If measured in Inches A little less then 1/2 of an inch .5 would be 1/2 an inch
That is OD in size

Hi Bill

Thanks. I wasn't sure if represented inches. Usually inches are not referred to with decimal points. Us Canadians use them all the time. Lol

A down and dirty way to convert decimals to fractions..The usual one to begin, is 16th's. : Ergo above: take 452 and multiply by 16, and you get 7.2 16's Close enough to 7/16's for what you want. If you went 32nd's, it would be 452 x 32 =
14 and a 1/2 - 32nds. And so on.

Most people don't know this, but you can type simple conversions right into the address bar of your web browser without having to go to a website to do conversions.

For example, if you want to convert two inches to millimeters type into the address bar:

convert 2 in to mm (and press enter)

and you get:

2 inches = 50.8 millimeters
