[QUOTE="megastink, post: 1519857, member: 33429"] Last winter, I found a great deal on an old Savage 11 .22-250 and decided to try my hand at my first barrel swap. Ive always wanted a heavy barrel .243, so I found a factory takeoff, ordered a new nut and some go/no go gauges and did the swap. I put the barrel on myself and I just want to double check with this community before firing the first round. The bolt closes on the go gauge, and won’t close on the no go. Everything cycles well. Am I missing anything? Forget to do anything? I want to take this thing to the range but I can’t help but be a little fearful of my first home gunsmithing project. Everything is appreciated! Thanks!
