[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2159916, member: 68758"] You don't understand McGowen's shouldered "prefits". [B][I]"One variation is the standard Remington Barrel with a shoulder. This should definitely be installed and headspaced by someone qualified."[/I][/B] They are fully chambered- but short-shouldered. Requires setting up on the lathe and facing the shoulder to set headspace correctly. Then, the barrel still requires stamping because it can't/doesn't come from McGowen that way. These are the limitations of "pre-fit" shouldered barrels on factory M700's. They don't work unless you don't care where the ATF required markings end up. Maybe, for some, that doesn't matter.
