[QUOTE="CadillacCowboy, post: 1319209, member: 101665"] Headspace. Also - stamped lettering location on the barrel, possible marred cerakote, bedding fit due to a non-pinned lug, stock inletting (I know that's getting picky). I wouldn't have a problem with it being done, if I was confident it would be done correctly. Function is more important than form to me, but I prefer to have both. Have to set back enough to allow fluting to index upward, so recutting the chamber would be necessary. Like I said, we aren't seeing eye to eye on the situation and it's not worth getting into a square off over one or two thou. I'm a stickler for detail, so if it wasn't done to exact specs on the second go-round, it would drive me to insanity. I'm better off controlling the issue with loading adjustments and accepting that I have a brass eater. In 30 years or so I will burn the barrel out and need a new one anyway. It's not ideal, but life is too short. [/QUOTE]
