[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1793275, member: 2736"] If a person looks at the SAMMI chamber dimension he will see many dimensions relating to requirements for his bullet diameter and cartridge. To answer all of these questions you must first understand why dimensions are what they are and the reason for that dimension. There are many ways to establish what you have first so you don't mis-measure or calculate the wrong dimension and make a mistake with the modifications. Bottom line is that the chamber dimensions are decided on by some very smart people with lots of experience and should not be altered unless you have years of experience and a very good understanding of what the function of each dimension is. There is so much misinformation available things can go wrong quick. My recommendation it to have someone with years of experience, and that understands the reason for, and function of those dimension and features "first" to evaluate what you have and what you desire/want and come to a consensus. That will achieve what you want without problems. This advice is for everyone Including my self (I always talk to the experts in there field to get as many pieces of advice as i can before I start swimming in uncharted waters) and will hopefully prevent me or someone else from ruining a perfectly good rifle.
