[QUOTE="Waltech Jim, post: 88921, member: 3214"] Kraky, The few Savages I have switched barrels on I was able to tighten the barrel (from factory) about 1/2 turn using a full length sized empty case as a gauge. I wonder just how "tight" yours is as it should be headspacing on the belt??? Yup, there is no way I could resist that slippery slope. I would have the nut loose in no time seeing if I could tighten it up some. Oh crap, can't tighten it up? Ok, borrow reamer from gunsmith buddy, do a light ream. Take a few thousandths off the back. Screw it back in,..............Bang, Bang, Bang.

Your a good man Kraky. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Jim [/QUOTE]
