Changing the barrel: I measure the length of the chamber on the rifle before removing the barrel, I check clearance between the case from the shoulder of the case to the case head and chamber from the shoulder to the bolt face. I know, everyone is soooo confused, nut, if I checked case head protrusion on the barrel I remove and match the case head protrusion on the repayment I can not miss 'it' by more than .001". To me it does not matter what receiver I am working on, I am required to determine how the barrel fits the receiver. A smith should be able to determine the amount of clearance before he screws the two pieces together. I have screwed the two pieces together with a gage in the chamber, once everything bottomed out I measured the gap between the receiver and barrel shoulder at the end of the threads. The tricky part is figuring a way to use one gage for all of them, not tricky for me but no one else does it so I assume I am the only one. There was one smith that 'did it' 70+ years ago. F.

Slightly off topic and as a matter of curiosity has anyone used the "pull through" reamers? Been a few decades but when I was re-barreling M1 Garands and M1A rifles I used them. I also used them on Remington 700 rifles. Think I still have a few in 30-06 and 308 which are new. Used them for final finishing and I liked them as they worked well. Has anyone else used them?
