[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 345212, member: 2736"] With only .020 thousandths clearance through the brake if it wobbles when screwed on my guess would be that the break is the problem. I had The same thing on a rifle that I bought for a don,er . when I unscrewed the break it was badly out of alignment and upon closer inspection the barrel had been threaded with a die nut instead of on a lathe. the guy had done it himself and screwed it up so he sold it to me for next to nothing. While looking at it I noticed the copper fouling in the break and knew there was a problem but did not need the barrel or the break and ended up with a very good action and stock. One other possibility is that the "smith" screwed up and installed the wrong barrel. I know it sounds impossible but I was ask to check out a friends rifle that he bough from a gun shop and found it had a bore dia. of .312 instead of .308. and after he confronted the gun shop owner he said it had a like new military barrel but he though it was a 30 cal. With a 1 in 10 it should work with the break off. so it will be interesting what the problem really is so please let us know. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
