I see most smith's want the action to properly fit the action to the chamber.
I get how Savage and the various nut guns work.
I was looking at the prefits which look like the guess and check method where a barrel maker chambers a barrel for a Rem 700 and if yours doesn't fit, somehow the gunsmith has to recut the barrel a couple thousandths to fit it.
but, I wonder….Could a chamber be cut to min length or just below, thread the barrel down on a GO gage, then measure the gap between Action and shoulder. Then final assembly with shims so it closes on GO, but not on NO GO. Anybody doing this? Unsafe?
