[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1089114, member: 25383"] just looking at the threads alone, it looks like they were cut on a lathe. Remington uses taps, and are threaded on Monarch VMC's with an angle plate like fixture. I see no break lines from the tap being reversed. If the threads were cut on a lathe, they did a poor job! I had trouble seeing deep inside the bore (real old eye balls), but saw hints of something grossly amiss. If the folks that recut the thread did this to the seating area, you can almost rest assured the area is soft. I think somebody screwed the pooch on this one; factory barrel or not! gary [/QUOTE]
