STOP, take it to a gunsmith, you can cause a whole chain if badness!!Also...I cant get the old rivet punched out....any tips?
Anyone willing to fix this for me, I also want the bolt surfaces trued? I pay.
Squaring the bolt will put you out of spec in your headspacing so you don't want to start down that road unless you want to start least set the barrel back a couple threads and set the chamber back to correct headspace.Anyone willing to fix this for me, I also want the bolt surfaces trued? I pay.
The headspace guage isn't the same as a case, I've never found an issue while chambering, always after when checking the feed cycle and sometimes when the guy gets it back and the brass is a touch different.Which brings up the question.... Is it possible the smith was headspacing the barrel without realizing he was headspacing off of the extractor and not the bolt face? Possible I guess. Otherwise, you would think that the smith would have discovered the extractor problem and offered to replace it for you. I would get the rifle checked out and not replace the extractor yourself.
Edit sorry. Just realized he didn't change the action threading. He probably just torqued the barrel back down...
NO ONE in their right mind removes a barrel to install a brake these days! cohunt seems to have 'invented' the "if the barrel was removed to thread barrel", and it has followed through this entire thread without any evidence or statement by the OP that the barrel was removed and then re-installed. Total speculation, like 2 pages of this thread, speculation, guessing without having eyes on. Get a grip guys! Rem threads are 1 1/16th with 16 threads per inch. a 1/16th of an inch is .0625". 1/8th of that , meaning 1/8th turn of the barrel is .0078 thousands of an inch. You could NOT over torque a barrel by 1/16th of a turn! It is damned hard to change the head space just by using different torque when installing. I repeat, get a grip, guys! This used to be a site where real information was exchanged.Which brings up the question....
