[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 997948, member: 2736"] There is more to it than that. I would recommend that you take the factory barrel and torque it down then head space it. (There is a slim chance that it may head space correctly) A very slim chance. Hopefully it will be to little head space and it can be hand reamed to the correct head space. If it has to much head space it will have to have the shoulder set back and then the head space will have to be reamed to the correct head space. I have never heard of the factory reamers being larger than SAMME specks but the factory chambers are normally not very well done and could be loose. The best thing to do is ask your gun smith to do what is necessary to give you a SAMME spec. chamber and head space and see what he charges to do it. then make up your mind or go to another smith for a second opinion. Most of the time take off barrels are not worth the cost to bring them into SAMME spec. Just My Opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
