[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 427164, member: 25383"] look I'm not trying to start a fight! All the stuff I've posted is what I've learned thru about twenty years of fooling around, plus another twenty five on the job. There are things I like about both concepts and things I don't like. To a certain extent I think both systems are over rated. I was a shoulder person up and untill about the year 2000 even though I knew about the stretched thread concept long before that (never put the two together). But I was also unaware that a barrel acts like a coiled spring when a bullet passes thru it (in two directions 180 degrees apart) then I picked up on some stuff that Bill Calfee put in print, and used it. It worked! What I'm trying to say is gather in all the data you can find and put it to work for you. Most guys look at a barrel as ease of use (and we all will buy into that). But if done right the headspace will be just as good with a shoulder. What I found out was in what happens after all this becomes a set dimension (there is a catch here), and the nut can be your friend. gary [/QUOTE]
