Dr.Hess Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Just tossing out ideas. You could put a shim between the barrel and the front of the receiver. Or notch the barrel for the extractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple .700" diameter recess leaves some surface to torque to Yes and Yes... the reason I am thinking to leave some of the "ring" on a Rem 700 bbl... I tried a Homemade spacer just to prove to myself it will work!! Thanks appreciate all who care!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Many rifles have a spacer there. Savage, for example uses it to headspace. One of the gunsmiths that used to write a column in SGN had a series on a change-barrel Mauser. I don't recall what calibers he used, but pretty much all based on the regular bolt head size for 30-06, 7mm, 308, etc. I think he made 2 barrels, one 30-06 and the other 270. Maybe more. He made a threaded ring to lock the barrel in place like Savage does, with witness marks for the correct position/headspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
