[QUOTE="Boe, post: 3044489, member: 25890"] I think there is an important issue many have overlooked, It appears the first six or seven threads nearest the receiver face are damaged . Its only the first two or three threads nearest the receiver that will be making full thread flank contact when the barrel is torqued against the face of the receiver. Basically, it's only the first two or three threads and the mating receiver face surfaces that are securing the barrel to the receiver. That being said, Its very important that the threads nearest the face of the receiver are machined correctly. If this receiver came in my shop I'd determine if there is enough receiver diameter to safely single point machine the tenon threads until they fully clean up. If there is any doubt, I would advise my client to replace it. For any of the younger guys is this business, ANY mods done to a factory receiver puts you in a position of liability. If something happens to a rifle like this and the shooter gets hurt it's not going to end well for you. New receivers are cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
