[QUOTE="buzzgun, post: 148384, member: 6372"] Kirby In a threaded system, there must be clearance or the action won't thread onto the barrel....right??? In a interferrence fit system, there is no clearance between the receiver and the barrel......right??? So, if we eliminate the strength/pressure concern (and we have the technology to do so)......why wouldn't the press fit be a superior system??? Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment to test such a system.......but my engineering background tells me it would work...... Maybe the reason we don't see widespread use of interferrence fit barrels is not because a threaded system is a better system, but, maybe it's because the threaded system is easier to work with??? The biggest problem I see with an interferrence system is the difficulty of getting the headspace correct without having to test fit the barrel and receiver......it wouldn't be easy to pull the barrel to make adjustments!
