[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2924316, member: 1951"] Can you ask your gunsmith exactly what this means? I doubt it means he cut the cf. Did he turn a shouldered barrel into a nut barrel? Is it fit from a larger tenon action to a smaller one? Is the shoulder just turned from 1.25“ to 1.2” to fit the stock? Did he just adjust the shoulder position to correct headspace? BTW, this is something most gunsmiths I’ve asked won’t do because results are unpredictable. I’m guessing he did it because he did the original work. Found this elsewhere: [URL]https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/attachments/f24/37007d1312725240-barrel-extensions-rod-henrickson-remington-700.jpg[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://rifleshooter.com/2017/09/building-a-custom-tikka-t3t3x-precision-rifle/[/URL] The key point in the second link is Tikkas need a smaller shoulder than Rem 700, [S]so I would guess all 1.25” barrels are turned down when fitting to a Tikka.[/S] This is not abnormal. My M70 stock barrel shoulder was 1.13 or 1.15”. [/QUOTE]
