[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1088503"] I'm sorry that happened. It's one of those things that isn't supposed to but does. From what I know smiths will often remove the barrel to work on the action. Just makes it easier to maneuver around the shop. Then last thing before delivery, torque it down. I hope the smith is not too far away. IIWM: Take it back to him and be sickening nice. "Hi 'bob', I think we missed something. Could you please torque the barrel and recheck the headspace?" Depending on who paid for what, your cost for this custom are not out of line but like I said, loose barrels on delivered rifles shouldn't happen. [/QUOTE]
