[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 31595, member: 313"] One of the reasons that you glass bed is so that you have a perfect fit from surface to surface. IMO Changing the barrel would require a change in the glass, but only where it contacts the new barrel. I have had the glass under the chamber (about 1.5") ground down and a new thin coat added so that the new barrel mates to the stock as well as the previous barrel did. It cost next to nothing to have this done when a barrel is installed. If the new barrel contour is a perfect duplication of the original than you could probably avoid this minor reglassing but I'd rather do the touch-up and know that its mated perfectedly. VH [/QUOTE]
