[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 2645634, member: 110787"] This is a math problem, not an opinion. Awesome resource for thread specs - [URL]http://theoreticalmachinist.com/Threads_UnifiedImperial.aspx[/URL] Plug in your threads and it’ll give you the data to see what the Tikka threads need to be. Next step, you have your existing barrel, measure it with a thread micrometer, wires, etc and then figure out if the Tikka minimums will be below your existing threads. Then look for a tenon length issue…that messes with headspace. There is a lot to look at and hard to give an exact answer without having your barrel in hand. The Tikka tenon prints are out there and have proven to be very consistent, hence the reason the prefits work. Good luck, here is my opinion part…if you’re paying your buddy to do this…It’s the same amout of work (less really) to do a new blank with less risks in my opinion on getting a next level straight chamber. Sell it, sounds like it shoots good, and buy a new one and let him do that one. [/QUOTE]
