tikka threads and other actions?

[grouse]

I am pulling a tikka barrel and replacing with a different caliber. Im wonderinf the barrel will fit any other actions besides the tikka?

While it may fit, the headspace would be the concern of mine.

 

[grouse]

I understand that. Back to my question

 

[Rhovee]

Not it will not

The tenon thread pitch and diameter is 1"x 16 tpi.

That's close to a Remington tenon!

You really should know a piece of information before posting like this.

The Remington tenon 1-1/16" x 16 tpi (1.062" x 16 threads per inch)

The Tikka tenon 1.0" x 16 tpi.

Roger!

Seems like you understand how a rifle works pretty decently, but if you were set on reusing the barrel you could cut the tenon off and have a gunsmith machine a new one to fit whatever action you choose and rechamber to proper headspace

This might work with other barrel contours but in this situation (factory barrel) there is not enough of a barrel diameter and length to cut a new tenon and thread for 'whatever action you choose'. Factory barrels do not leave enough extra cylinder to accomplish what you think can be made to happen.

Hmm, you may be right, probably couldnt be used on some actions depending on the required tenon length. I would have to see the barrel to know if the remaining shank would be long enough. Also would depend on the cartridge it is chambered for if there would be enough shank left to support the chamber up towards the shoulder.
Maybe not the best idea i ever had but i think it could be reused if the guy was dead set on it.

Hmm, you may be right,

I am right.

I'm looking at one on my bench right this very minute and I have explained why this won't work. What makes you think you know better?

 

[grouse]

It's a proof barrel so I would really like to reuse it if possible.

Never said i knew better chief. In fact i said the opposite but you didnt quote that part. I said i was speculating without looking at the barrel, however i dont remember the op ever saying it was a factory barrel in the first place
