Thought about doing this but I don't have a spider on the spindle of my lathe. I need to make one. I did turn down the shoulder on the replacement barrel so I could clock it correctly.

It went well. I need to take it to the range instead of out in the wild with a half *** target. I need to put on a shorter front sight as it was shooting low. But even with a .079 headspace there...

Find out when I shoot it, I guess.

I have not been able to find a #3 bolt head. Maybe I could just get another one and build up the face till I get the head space I want.

By the way. The gap is right around .020 all the way around. Do you know the tpi on the barrel. I'll need to know the distance of one turn.

I'm gonna put it on the back burner till I get my lathe set up. Then if I can get the barrel off I'll true up the breach, and cut the shoulder a little at a time till it indexes property.

I doubt there's a qualified professional here. I'd have to send it somewhere. I'm sure there are some that say they are. I don't know how the gun field is but in mine for every good tech there's a...

You were correct. Different auther but an interesting article.

Have you read Peter Laidler's article "Head space 101"?
Forum: Military Rifles
Most rims I measure seem to be in the .055 range. The bolt is fine I think the breach of the barrel is worn. The rifling looks pretty good up till the last 1/2" where it seems to be pretty worn. The...

Don't see any evidence of a bulged barrel. Its just says it has one. I took it to a place. They checked it and didn't find a bulge but put a head space guage and said it was past the limit. I don't...

Seemed to shoot fine. Thats been over 10 yrs ago. I remember shootin at a target at 100yd and being happy with the results. I must have put a box of shells through it cause I don't have a partial box...
