[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2123965, member: 69478"] The issue I see you having with an already chambered and finished barrel going on a another action is setting the headspace and indexing the writing on the barrel. If the past action had a different tenon depth then that will throw off the headspace. If the other action had the threads start and stop in a different place then that will throw off the writing on the barrel. This can be adjusted and fixed, but it’s going to cost the gunsmith time and cost you money to just have a factory barrel in the end. I would go with a custom barrel like a Shilen that you can get for under $300 and have a good smith install it. You’ll have around $550-650 in it when it’s complete but it will be a shooter. [/QUOTE]
