[QUOTE="bigtoy302, post: 223924, member: 12008"] So today I got the barrel done. It took a little longer than I wanted but this was my first one so I did not want to mess it all up. I started my measuring up the action so I could determine what length I needed to make everything. [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o269/bigtoy302/DSC01193.jpg[/IMG] I then checked the thread pitch diameter with a MTG gage so I know the exact size to make the thread. This action was way out. So I had to enlarge the threads to 1.081-16. [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o269/bigtoy302/DSC01195.jpg[/IMG] Next I bored the recoil lug to match the new thread size. [IMG]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o269/bigtoy302/DSC01196.jpg[/IMG] I then chucked up the barrel in the lathe dialed it in and cut the threads.
