[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 467045, member: 25383"] a guy I used to shoot with at work built a .243AI with a 6mmAI reamer on a 788. He pillar bedded it in a similar fashion to the above. Did an extensive rebuild of the bolt complete witha set of bumps on the body. I maybe wrong but I think he built a new body right from the start to fit the bore much closer (I should have paid better attention) Tony found the barrel threads to be way out of square with the reciever body, and ended up with a barrel thread that was somewhere between .06 and .09" bigger in diameter. He lapped the lugs with noncharging lapping compound, and surprisingly they were fairly close to start with. The barrel he used was a take off .243 barrel that had a few rounds thru it when he got it. The gun shot very well when he finally got done with it gary [/QUOTE]
