[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1690713, member: 27307"] I usually can't recommend spending money on a used barrel. You're taking a chance on buying the original owner's problems. As to the APA 'theoretically', maybe, maybe not. Call APA to ask for their suggestion. My guess is that they will want to fit and headspace this barrel to your action and charge for it. This sort of relieves them of the potential for lack of performance in a small way. Installing the barrel and checking the headspace is a no brainer. [/QUOTE]
