Mike, You are correct. I do set the headspace with the reamer and I face off the shoulder to get a flute indexed the way I want it. However I have been cheating a bit to get several of my rifles as close to the same as I can by facing off a very small bit of the back of the lugs on the bolt...

O K guys, Let me level with you on a couple of issues you have shown concern with. I flute my barrels before I chamber and thread and I like to have a flute or a valley straight up. I normally use Pacific Tool's one piece bolts that come with about plus .005 between the rear of the bolt...

Tru bolt face and rear of recoil lugs I like Jackie's method and do a similar process. My lathe has very little runout in the nose spindle so I make a spud that goes in a 5 C collet and thread the other end 1/2 X 13 leaving a sholder in the middle for the back end of the bolt to snug against...

Thanks all for the "valuable" information/suggestions on what to do with old barrels. After much thought and careful consideration, I have decided to put them in the trash.

No one has a sine bar rifling machine in their shop? I saw one at a gun show in Denver a couple of weeks ago.

Mil, Thanks for the suggestions. These barrels are completely shot out. Beings they are fluted they are not much fun to turn down to round.

Hi Guys, What do you do with barrels that you have replaced for one reason or another? I have 4 Shillen match 22 cal barrels that are chambered and threaded for a 700 rem in .223.They are fluted and are about .900 at the muzzle. Except for the rifling they are "Cherry".

I just sold a Canjar for a 700 at the Denver Gun Show for $150.00.

Is, perhaps, the end of the barrel pressing on the face of the extractor?

Hi Guys, I have a couple of Rem 700 bolts that have pits around the firing pin caused by ??? (soft primers probably). Somewhere I have seen a couple of articles on bushing the firing pin and doing away with the pits. Please help me find the information. Thanks, Don Carper

In the February 2012 issue of Precission Shooting, M.L. McPherson wrote an article dealing with brass and chambers and dies and what happens when they meet. A very good article and well worth reading. I have it saved and will forward it to any one that wants it. Just email me and ask...

If you feel that you must use a screw then why not a small wood screw? The trigger guard will not fall off if you do not use a screw. Don
