[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1738212, member: 104268"] Didn't occur to me to calculate the distance from the thread pitch...:oops: I should be able to return it to within ± 0.001" just by eyeballing a straight edge mark (±1/16"). I'll also check the headspace (minus ejector) with fired and/or sized brass and some tape shims before I take it apart. I'll make several pieces that just barely close, and some that just barely won't close, and check that they all behave the same after the lug is corrected. I have a vice and v-jaws for barrel clamping, as well as the Savage barrel nut wrench, so I should be good to go. I swapped a Savage barrel without any trouble, so this should be the same. Thanks everyone for the information. [/QUOTE]
