[QUOTE="Hayudog, post: 1924416, member: 114389"] He (New gunsmith) used Manson gauges when he checked. And as you’ve said, even the gauges, gauge different no go numbers. When I contacted the original smith, he said he did not set back the barrel. The reamer was rented, and they sent a no go gauge with the reamer. I think when it’s all said and done , it will have been reamed to the old orig Ackley specs, not the new SAAMI numbers. I’m not a factory ammo guy, so I’ll just need to set up to reload for what it is. I‘ve written to the reamer rental company to see if they can track down what they rented to the gunsmith. The frustrating part of this is ... it shouldn’t be this hard to get something right. I now understand more that I should have specified that I wanted. Even As uneducated as I am in this, I know that there is a current SAAMI 280 AI, and and older wildcat 280AI. Unless someone actually specified they wanted the old set up, do it to the new, ten year old standard SAAMI standard. SMH. thanks for your input. Doug. [/QUOTE]
