[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1977835, member: 68758"] You asked how it could be "fixed" without the correct reamer. There wasn't a "condition" that it be done without a gunsmith. I was simply saying that if I had the rifle in my hands, I would determine what, if anything, needed to be done to correct headspace- and I would do it via the recoil lug assuming the dimensional change would be minimal, as one would expect. Nothing "theoretical" about it. You've never used plastigage, or soft solder, crushed against the boltface to measure headspace clearance?? Nope, don't have a surface grinder in the shop. But there's one 20 minutes from me. An hour of their time is sure less that ordering a custom reamer- then mounting/dialing in the barrel, reaming/setting back, yada yada. [/QUOTE]
