Chambering end?

[MGP]

Ok dont yell at me but i have a shilen barrel blank that has both ends cut off and i dont remember which end was stamped how big of a deal is it if i chamber it on the other end of where it was stamped? This will not be a competion barrel just a hunting barrel. Thanks Mike

Tapered or Straight?

Check for a tight at either end. Tight spot would be Muzzle end.

But how big of a deal is it if i chambered the wrong end? Thanks Mike

This is a hunting barrel and it is the same diameter on both ends?? Is it to be used for rimfire or centerfire?

Yes and Yes. Centerfire .358cal for an AR15 Platform. Thanks Mike

I was curious as to why it would not be obvious to chamber the big end...there is not one. I'd call Wade Hull or one of the other Shilen guys. I don't think, on a buttoned barrel, that it would make any difference which way the bullet goes. On a cut rifled barrel some say they are directional and some say it makes no difference on them either.

I just........

got a new Shilen unturned blank, which end is normally chambered? The stamped end or the unstamped end or does it matter?

Eeni-meenie-miney-moe...

...to which end does the chamber go? The stamped end is the chamber end.
