[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2960270, member: 109917"] I am just not convinced that lapping the face is squaring the face to the bore or adding meaningful benefit. This is where my thinking has evolved, I honestly do not think you can change the relationship of the 1" of BE length combined with the 1" length of receiver bore enough with the face of the receiver, barrel nut and torque, lapped or not on an interference thermal fit. Now that it is routine to see prefit barrels for most all production 700 clones, I think this machine capability has migrated into the gas gun world and will only improve as we move forward. The thread over on SH you posted in originally and several other previous threads over there changed my way of thinking about receiver/barrel extension fit. It also changed my entire upper assembly process. Joe's video was eye opening about their original receiver builds and barrel movement and POI shifts. If you want brain ache and information overload, there are a few posts in this thread that will give you zombie spinny eyes. [URL='https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/is-bedding-the-ar-barrel-a-myth-whats-the-best-way.7195577/']Is bedding an AR barrel a myth[/URL] I haven't read every single response in that thread, so I will preface this, it may contain salty language and not be safe for viewing at work or with kids looking over your shoulder.
