[QUOTE="Bugholes, post: 881387, member: 31265"] I'll use Remington as an example: I bore the thread crest off, then re-cut the threads till a 1.072 plug gauge screws in completely. Then go very slowly till a 1.074 plug screws in with a slip fit- little to no wobble. I'll call this 1.075 on the action and stamp it so on the under side of the action. When I install the barrel I'll make the barrel tenon 1.072 and the install is clean and consistent. I feel better knowing its to a standard rather than cutting till the threads are clean and using a plug set to determine tenon size. It's more for the next guy rather than me (next gunsmith) You can also thread with a full profile threading tool till you get the fit you want, but that's slow and a little more hobo than I'm willing to do [/QUOTE]
