[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 148389, member: 7095"] Buzzgun, A press fit introduces stresses in the metal and those stresses will increase and decrease as the metal heats up and cools down, therefore, probably causing more inconsistencies. Inconsistencies and accuracy don't work well together. I'm not a machinist but I have designed enough parts to feel that a quality thread would be better. If the barrel's center axis is not right in line with the action then your not going to shoot straight. One reason that comes to mind would be that you could ream the chamber and make the threads without having to take the barrel out of the lathe. Reducing the amount of operations usually allows for tighter tolerances. [/QUOTE]
