Remington factory barrels are "indexed", i.e. they are produced so that they will screw into any Remington receiver for the same kind of rifle and the sights will line up on top

The Rem700 barrel swap I did, did not line up. It was a 1971 22-250 I got in 2001 for $180.
It had shot out throat, and looked like it have never been taken apart to me.
It had the factory white goop still on the threads.
The barrel that went on upside down was a recent factory parkerized finish .243 take off barrel that does not look like the breech was ever altered.
I used the same original 0.185" recoil lug for both.
