[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1322294, member: 2736"] I stand corrected. I have never worked on one of these but I do use 1.125+ barrels and a Remington setup so I get a heavier barrel shank over most of the chamber. (I don't use the barrel nut) If I re barreled one of these I would still use the Recoil lug with no barrel nut to help prevent extraction problems by using 1.250 or larger barrels. After looking at the barrel shank, it is still 1'' past the threaded area and leaves the chamber somewhat unsupported for the rest of the chamber. I prefer to have a barrel shank slightly longer than the cartridge for the added support it gives the chamber. Like you I have found that More chamber support furnished buy the barrel and the tenon has a lot to do with extraction. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
