[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2689344, member: 68758"] ^^^ I'll add a caveat, I assumed you were fitting a new barrel- if you're trying to spin on a take-off, don't lap the lugs until you check headspace. Sometimes a take-off will headspace within specs (even if it doesn't clock correctly). Check headspace first in this case, if it were to be borderline no-go, lapping lugs would make it worse. By extension, if headspace were a few thou too tight- lapping would bring it into spec. [/QUOTE]
