Thanks Don.....one more question....
Now I have .010" on the bolt nose, using your technique...but all the fore & aft bolt play that was once there is now gone, when I install the barrel to about 50 lbs. of torque.......The bolt lifts & closes effortlessly, but I was under the impression you need that bolt free play for headspace....
I think I need to check the lug faces...could they be contacting the very end of the barrel shank?
The bolt nose end to it's lug face is .150", and the depth of the shank recess is about .155" as best as I can measure...
Thanks...I appreciate the guidance...
