[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1557639, member: 2736"] It is a simple matter to time the barrel by taking a little off the shoulder until it times in. You can take as much as one thread in length (1/16th) off the shoulder without affecting strength. but if you take over .010 you will probably have to re cut the breach face and re set the head space by reaming the chamber. If you are changing cartridges to something else, you can rotate the barrel ID under the stock and re mark the barrel with the correct barrel/cartridge ID. If it head spaces without any machining, you will be better off leaving it alone. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
