[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1908179, member: 4809"] A thought/question came to mind when I read the above statement. Most pre-fit barrels with fixed shoulder are made (read headspaced) off the existing face measurements of the action. By removing some of the face in order to 'square' it, the action can then accept barrels with a tenon larger than 1.13" standard Tikka diameter. But wouldn't removing some of the face make it such that other standard pre-fit barrels with a fixed shoulder would then have the improper headspace machined into them? After shaving off some of the Tikka action face when 'squaring' it, the only pre-fit that would still be able to headspace properly in the action would be one with a barrel nut. Am I correct, or am I still missing part of the equation? [/QUOTE]
