[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 362371, member: 3733"] If your going to set it back, have the thread tennon removed and recut. This will give the smith more room to correct the error, and only remove about 5/8 of an inch of barrel. Now as far as making the new chamber concentric with the bore, that will require the proper set-up and indication of the bore at the throat. Then the old chamber should be bored concentric with that set-up so the reamer is not influenced by the old "out" chamber. If your goal is this explain that to your smith, or he might just run the reamer in and follow what you had to begin with. My best advice is don't stick any money into a 30 year old tube for the sake of keeping brass concentric. If you go thru the above, you might as well add a few hundred for a new tube. [/QUOTE]
