Remington tennon to Ruger

[Mike A]

Would it be possible to recut a barrel set up for a Remington action to suit a Ruger without losing more than .200" from the breech end?

Yes, but why, you still end up with a $20 barrel.

 

[Jkob]

In short, yes

Mike,

Seems doable to me, measurements I came up with are as follow.........

Ruger barrel:

tenon diameter / thread pitch - 1.00 x 16 tpi (.0625 deep)

tenon length - .687

head space - .817

Remington barrel:

tenon diameter / thread pitch - 1.0625 X 16 tpi (.0625 deep)

tenon length - .875

head space - .885

Should be able to cut off .200 - .210 considering the shoulder doesn't get pushed forward. Measurements are rough and only for reference since they are both factory take-off barrels, I don't have any actions apart to measure from. You'll have to reduce the dia. ahead of the tenon from 1.200 to 1.160 based on the two barrels I have here.

Hope this helps,
Med.
