[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 809816, member: 2736"] I recommend buying a top of the line stainless barrel With a 1.250 shank Diameter and have a good smith thread and chamber it for you (I have had bad luck with pre- chambered barrels and replaced many of them). The smith can do a better job of fitting the action threads. As to other items like a bolt lift kit, I personally don't see the need unless you are loading Maximum (Very hard) loads. Also if a smith fits the barrel he can eliminate the barrel nut (This allows for a larger shank diameter adding more barrel material around the chamber) This improves extraction if using hard loads because the chamber walls do not expand as much during firing. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
