Can you rethread a savage barrel to fit a tikka action?

[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 2644516, member: 11132"] I would ask in the gunsmith forum then. Looking at the specs it looks like it could be 5 thou short after clean up but I have never actually looked at it and am far from calling myself a gun smith and even further from a machinist. I figured it was a stock savage barrel not an afternarket.. Since it's not a shouldered barrel but a lock nut it has much longer length of threading vs a typical inch or so. If you clean up and it does not work you would have to lose how much to cut off and rechamber and thread? Do you even have enough full diameter to rethread if you had to cut off all the threading. Then have to rent/borrow a reamer. That's always the risk if you bugger it up. I am good at achieving that so I always eee it as a possible outcome. You could always ask Xcaliber as they do both threading prefits. [/QUOTE]
