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...

Here's mine. Good luck al. trigger finger to top it all off!! Reality check and a reminder everyday!!!! Med.

Just to answer some of the above question. The reason I switched bore diameters is simply it was the only barrel I could find without going on a waiting list. The gun is a tactical rifle so I shoot it at various ranges. Tuning was done at 1000 yds. I just used the 100 yd group size just to show...

All, Just bought me a Bartlein 1:8 twist .237 bore dia. X .243 4 groove barrel. My current barrel is a Kreiger 1:8 twist .236 bore dia. X .243 4 groove that HAS shot in the mid .100's @ 100yds. (Getting up there in rounds now.) My question is..............am I gonna see any difference in...

Thanks Pat, Just the type of info I'm looking for. We're not BR competitors out here in Utah where I'm from but, I'd like to be able to at least duplicate the accuracy of the 6 PPC's he already has. It definitely sounds do-able. Thanks for the reply!! MED.

Thanks Al, Sorry so long...........Star Wars Marathon (Geek). I think I will continue with my build. What bullet range do you recommend with the 12 twist? My buddy has a couple of 2nd hand 6 PPC's that he expects the same accuracy of. (.200 - .300 groups) I'm definitely not a Smith of BR...

First off.............not a BR shooter. I have a buddy of mine that has a 1:12 barrel and wants to build a .22 PPC. Will this give acceptable accuracy, or is 1:14 or any other twist more preferable for a 100-200 yard gun? (Again not BR shooters). Any opinions are welcome, just need some info for...

COLD BLUE SUCKS IN ALL FORMS!! I've used it all..........hot blue is the only alternative? It sucks too!! I dread the day i have to fire that P.O.S up. I don't have the room in my shop to leave it set up year round though. Nasty stuff none-the-less!!? MED

I made the post from an iPhone. It's the first time I've done so, and was extremely simple, easier than from a computer. I just used the reply button and then the picture icon at the top and it brought up my camera to take the photo, then upload. Med.

Here is the stuff I've been using. Unfortunately I just ran out too, and am looking for a replacement.

Just did one with a new 8 twist barrel; shooting heavy bullets (80 gr.(obviously) Don't expect more than 400 - 500 rds. of "accurate"barrel life in my experience. I wouldn't waste a 14 twist barrel just to "go fast" IMO. Med.

Hi all, I'm having trouble finding a Remington small bolt face extractor for a .17 Fireball. Everything I've found is backordered. If anyone has a supplier that I'm not aware of or has one to sale, please let me know. I've tried all of the big ones i.e. Midway, Brownell's, Numrich etc...

Thanks again to you all! I got the specs I needed (thanks Mike), plus I got a lot of information I didn't expect to get that will help me after my project is done. I know this project may be a less than ideal platform since the barrel is a factory Remington 22-250 barrel, but I thought what...

Lee, Looks good to me man. I don't do thread relief's though, but what the hell do I know, I'm a newbie too, just drag that bit out fast. Dig in, you'll be fine. Nice work!! Med.
