Hi All,
Got bored and scattered my Remington 541THB on my workbench to do a little accurizing on it. Got a Eley EPS reamer to setback and rechamber the factory barrel and add a Remington style recoil lug, gun always did .5 or smaller with several kinds of ammo in the past, so I want to give the original barrel a shot to see what it will do. I'll be adding the second action screw also.
First step is to thread the receiver. So I am kind of looking for recommendations on what 3/4" pitch to use 16, 18 or 20. I'll be single point threading it anyway.
Main Problem I have is what to do about the original factory barrel pin holes in the receiver? I do not trust myself to weld them full, so I am considering making some filler pins and silver brazing them in place before boring and threading the receiver.
I would like to hear an opinion from someone who has addressed this problem before and how they handled it.
I know I could ignore it and probably go ahead and thread it, but my conscience would bother me because it just doesn't look right.
Thanks
