[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1903050, member: 101859"] To touch on a couple points... The reason thread quality really does not matter to accuracy is because the shoulder points the barrel. A nut is not fixed to the barrel and transfers the "pointing" of the barrel to the threads. This is a step backwards in my opinion. No lost revenue here, because I only do what I feel is best. So far as the handle coming off, remember, the firing pin will only travel far enough to strike the primer if the bolt is closed most of the way, otherwise the cocking piece will hit the cocking cam in the back of the bolt. If the bolt is closed enough to fire, there will be enough lug engagement. [/QUOTE]
