[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1678842, member: 13632"] Not necessarily, that's why a good many gunsmiths won't just slap a barrel on a Rem action, you undo all the goop and loose stuff and you can go the other way. I had a personal rifle do this, just did a quick rebarrel on a Rem just to try a reamer out and it shot OK but not what it should, pulled the barrel and squared it up, set the barrel back and you could feel the positive lock up now what tightening the barrel and it shot stupid small, my daughter turned a 1 moa rock at 1500 yards into gravel with it. Your tightening a few tolerances over the factory barrel and recoil lug and you need the mating surfaces to match the new barrel surfaces. I'll just chamber one up for a guy and put it on without touching the action but in no way shape or form will I listen to someone whining about it shooting afterwards!!! [/QUOTE]
