[QUOTE="liltank, post: 536331, member: 13275"] I know this doesn't give you specific numbers, but what I did is the following: 1. Place head spacing go gauge in chamber. 2. Screw the tube in with the bolt in locked and closed position. 3. Kept screwing until barrel stopped and tightened barrel nut. 4. Use no go gauge to make sure the bolt did not close. 5. Go to the range and shoot awesome groups!:D I wish I could tell you it was harder than that, but that is all it took with my Savage. You can watch Youtube video's for the same instruction. It's stupid simple. Another way is using unfired virgin brass. For a no go, use 2pc of scotch tape on the head of a new piece of brass and make sure the bolt doesn't shut. Don't know what the actual head spacing numbers are, I just know it works. Tank [/QUOTE]
