Gunsmithing Inlet Dimensions

[Jknox1030]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on books or resources that have several actions, their dimensions and what are necessary clearances for inletting stocks? How is this typically handled? Measure the action in hand? Or do rifle manufacturers give this information?

Thanks for your time!

You get an action, some metrology equipment, and go to work. There's no books on this. Tribal knowledge prevails...
