[QUOTE="frostop, post: 1504583, member: 22611"] Well, I did ream the old barrel yesterday morning, first time ever doing that and it came out perfect, bolt will close on the go gauge but not on the go gauge with scotch tape on the back of it. I think the reamer removed all of the old chamber just barely, go gauge does have a slight amount of play, I'm going to see how a loaded round fits before I'll say lets shoot it? Then I went to work on in-letting the stock to allow that barrel to fit floated. My plan is to give this barrel a shot in the original stock, bed the action etc. and see how it shoots. I ordered up a set of redding s dies and a box of loaded e-tips(cheapest I could find), also going to order 100 rounds of brass. I did pick up a Bartlein barrel that will likely end up on this rifle but it will require a different stock, won't work in the stock that came on the gun originally. Not much choice when it comes to a stock for these old Ruger actions, Boyds, McMillan or MPI custom? Gary [/QUOTE]
