[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 498738, member: 2736"] I am not a proponent of switching barrels even though people do it. They have to be head spaced with each barrel and as you take one off and screw the others on you lose your head space and thread fit eventually. And every time you take a rifle out of the bedding it deteriorates the fit and will loose accuracy. I like the 1 1/16 16 TPI and I see your point but as you said the tenons dont match anyway. What I was refering to was cleaning up the threads maybe .010 thousandths and fitting the threads of the new barrel to the receiver (The tenon threads would be 1.010). If you use takeoff barrels you will not get a good fit "EVER" because they are all different sizes due to the quality control at the factory and the acceptance tolerances. If you are looking for ultimate accuracy, It takes all of the elements in perfect conditions and the less you disturb them the better. (This is one of the reasons that benchresters glue the barreled action to the stock). The only system that I would use to switch barrels is the Savage with the barrel nut, And when I rebarrel a Savage I do away with the barrel nut because of thread fit and extra components that can lead to accuracy problems each time they are taken apart. (Two many variables). Sorry for the long winded explanation. Again this is just my opinion based on my experiences trying to ring out all of the accuracy possible. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
