Barrel Threads

[Boe]

After reading the thread on barrel torque. A few more questions come to mind, What are the opinions on loose fitting threads vs tight fitting threads? (barrel to action) What is the effect on accuracy, if any? How much is dependant on the shoulder juction and how much is dependant on the thread fit?

I think a slightly loose thread is better than a slightly tight thread. It allows the barrel to center just fine when it is torqued tight.

99% shoulder junction 1% thread fit and sloppier threads is better




IMO
