[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1618674, member: 2736"] Most good smiths prefer to do the barrel to receiver fit themselves and set the shoulder to get the correct head space. Rifles like Savages can be done this way because of the barrel nut system, but it stills helps to do the thread fit using the receiver. Thread quality and torque determines the amount of crush/stretch you will get torquing the action and ultimately the final head space head space. So the fit of everything is all important for a quality job. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
