[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 304843, member: 1193"] I'm not a gunsmith either but I'll give this a shot. If your headspace is too long you need to move the shoulder area of the chamber back towards the bolt face. To do this with a Remmy you will need to shorten the tenon(treaded end) and move the shoulder that butts up to the front of recoil lug towards the muzzle end of the barrel. Basically that lets you screw the barrel in further thus shortening the headspace. If you're lucky your headspace will be a little short, then as I understand things you could just rent a reamer and CAREFULLY deepen the chamber to the proper headspace. If you do go slow and measure often. If you're really really lucky the heavy barrel will just screw on and fit perfectly....I've never had that kind of luck. With all that said, keep in mind I've never actually done this, just read/heard it's do able. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in shortly. Chris [/QUOTE]
