[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1736169, member: 1951"] On a shouldered barrel, I would want a gunsmith fit. That is because when they cut the shoulder, they did not know the distance from your bolt face to the action face. Maybe it will be fine, but only a lathe operator could adjust. On a nut action, headspace is set when assembling the barrel, so the profit concept works as long as you true everything else to the threads. [/QUOTE]
