[QUOTE="concordshooter, post: 999746, member: 36331"] same goes for some of the short chambered barrels from some barrel makers, the problem comes if your reamer is different dimensions than the one that was used on barrel, do you really want a .001-.003 step in your neck .010-.020 long?, I have installed REM takeoffs by using a thicker recoil lug, without having to ream anything. Take note If you get a pre-chambered barrel from anyone, ideally you want it fully chambered with shoulder left short so you can cut to size, possibly if their reamer is small and your is larger it should work, but certainly not ideal, and it takes just as much set-up maybe more to re-cut existing chamber or shoulder. I do understand the appeal, that is the advantage of savage or of Rem-Age barrels. Fox Run Precision LLC [/QUOTE]
