Well,
I just went down and snapped some shots of one I've got open. It's a 2-inch M that's been cut down to "Billy Shehane" spec of 1.650Wx1.750T octagonal. It's spec'd as a magnum BF thru-port right-eject and the empty case hanging around it is a 300WSM.
The barrel is a 36", .950 muzzle with an inch-four-fifty shank.
I've tried to capture the mass of the thing.
The pix are poor but what particularly are you looking for?
I've included a pic of the cocking roller too.

It looks like I'll be inletting this one myself on a small mill using a 1" round cutter for the barrel channel, "square" cutter for the sides and bottom and connecting the dots using a 45degree endmill.
It's going into a Shehane Big Dawg plywood stock. Billy sells his stuff with this inlet but I ordered this on un-inletted. I might just send it back to him!
It's chambered in my weird interpretation of 300WSM.
It doesn't currently have an ejector hole in the bf as it's designed as a pressure monster.
I've got a wire "blocker" designed for the right side so's I don't just throw the cases right through it and it's an experimental design. I don't know how it will end up as far as final configuration, I've got to run it first.
