[QUOTE=".30US, post: 891241, member: 19108"] Makes perfect sense. I'm planning on using what I learn to tear apart the other 40X .308 repeater and rebuild it with the original components for F/TR. I don't really want to cut the chamber off the barrel on the 40X I plan to take to class just so I can start fresh if it might just need a little setting back, which was my thinking on using one of the other two barrels I have on hand. Both of my 40X .308s are early '70s production ('71 and '73, as I recall). Someday, I could see that takeoff 40X barrel making a good donor barrel for a long-action caliber, too. .308 was my first instinct to build, because it is what most of my friends would like me to build for them, too. Having changed direction with my .280 Featherweight, I have a .284"/7mm barrel that isn't going to be used, otherwise. Thanks for the insight. I guess I see if I can find a trade for my 6.5mm Brux barrel for a similar .30" one. [/QUOTE]
