[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1972324, member: 24284"] So, how do you decide what lug to buy? Measure the length of the barrel tenon from chamber end to the shoulder. Now, with the bolt installed in the action, measure from the face of the action to the front of the lugs on the bolt. Subtract the action measurement from the barrel measurement. Add the needed clearance between the end of the barrel and the bolt and that's how thick the lug should be. Make sure the end of the bolt won't contact the barrel in the counter bore. Now, check the headspace with a gauge. These instructions require the use of a depth micrometer, an outside micrometer and the ability to use both accurately. The interdnet ain't no place to earn about installing barrels to actions. It's not rocket science, but you must have an understanding of "why". [/QUOTE]
