hodgie Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 how do you prefer to mount a bbl on a turk. do you crush fit both shoulders even, just the inner, or just the outer? i have read opinions both ways, just wondering your preference is.

donmarkey Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I prefer just the inner, because that is the way I was taught. But most commercial actions don't even have a inner ring, so they bear against the outside of the receiver. So It's probably just a personal preference. -Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfive Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I was having a similar discussion with another board member and then later read about someone mounting a slim barrel on a large ring action. So I'm boiling it down to this... Choose which ever shoulder gives you the most contact. On a Turk that is likely going to be the 'secondary' tourque shoulder. On a Large ring 98 with a slim barrel that may be the 'primary' tourque shoulder (C ring). Just my thoughts. Tinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1r Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I cut the shank so it is .002" longer than the distance from the face of the receiver to inner "c" ring. That way when tightened the outer shoulder will just contact the receiver face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gun nutty Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 First of all... I BELIEVE. The majority of gunsmiths (or at least those experienced with the 98 Mauser) set the barrel against the inner torque ring. There is a reason for this, and accurate, safe hunting tools are created. I believe this is probably the "proper way to mount a 98 barrel. Not knowing any better... And this has always been a question in my mind. Why not use the receiver face? With the larger diameter of the receiver ring (vs the smaller diamer of the inner torque shoulder), wouldn't it be much like spreading the legs on a tripod to improve stability? A larger diameter help improve the rigidity, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
