I'm not a prolific shooter and only see a reason to replace the factory barrel when I need something specific. That said, I'm trying to put together a suppressed 20" bbl bolt action and was going to put it together tonight but noticed the chamber diameter looked a bit small. Reading the outside of the barrel confirmed it was chambered in 270Win, not WSM as the bill of lading stated. Further inspection revealed choppy threading at the muzzle end which didn't easily accept my adapter. Is this common? Should I send this back and try another barrel MFG?
I'm guessing this barrel is not going to be able to be reamed for a WSM unless i want a half inch of freebore. Looking for a little guidance here.
