[QUOTE="RyanTrials, post: 1125045, member: 74292"] I appreciate it! I know it's not the barrel or the bolt... I JUST measured out everything as far as the bolt nose recess and all of that. It's simply the barrel isn't able to thread far enough into the action to headspace off the gauge.... I was just curious if anyone else had run into this before? I did clean the threads really good with some degreaser and a toothbrush type brush. Looked through the action screw hole and I can tell the last few threads in the action near the gas vent hole are barely cut that deep in comparison to the rest of the threads... The barrel must be bottoming out before the last action threads, due to the diameter difference in barrel threads and those on the last few of the action. Makes sense in a typical remington barrel install when a conventional barrel with a shoulder tightens to the action and probably torqued to hell at the factory.. But this is a barrel nut, i want to be able to hand tighten it up to the go gauge and feel it contact, THEN torque down the barrel nut. Nothing a gunsmith can't fix. thanks for any help! Waiting for Jim Briggs to call me back and see what his advice is, if anyone has run into this before, it would be him. Ryan [/QUOTE]
