[QUOTE="buzzgun, post: 148382, member: 6372"] Dave Thanks for the input. I understand about harmonics, not sure I agree that 100% thread contact verses 90% thread contact would make any measurable difference if the face of the receiver, the recoil lug and the shoulder of the barrel are both square??? As far as the heated and pressed fit goes.......are you saying you can get a straghter fit with a threaded connection (which must have some clearance) than you can with an interferrence fit that has NO clearance??? Think about it this way.......you counterbore the receiver 1.5" deep with a shoulder at the bottom that acts as a positive stop for the barrel shank......you then machine the barrel shank so that the receiver has to be heated in order to for the barrel to be pressed into the receiver......after the receiver cools, there is NO clearance.......how could the joining of the barrel and receiver be any straighter??? By the way.....this has been done on some expensive rifles for many years......they aren't chambered for low pressure rounds......and they don't shear pins...... Just because we have always done something a certain way does not mean it's the best way.....especially with the improvement in technology we see almost daily.......look at the custom 700 replacement actions on the market right now......nothing like that was available at anywhere near the current cost until recently! Just trying to ask a few question and hopefully learn something! [/QUOTE]
