"Gunsmithing" via forum posts is like diagnosing what's wrong with your car over the telephone...

There's a lot of variables at work here...Were the threads cleaned; were they lightly lubed; were there any dings; any caked crap on threads/flange faces; had it been cut down before; is it 'original' or a repro; did the 'smith' torque it down three times to 'set' the threads; is it a really tight (or loose) fit; etc...

Too many variables for any quick & easy solution...

...My $.02...Ka-Ching!!!...

Hi Guys, thanks for all, I'm going to measure out a few things before I proceed... But, it's not at the flange area where the interferance is occuring.. it's at the very most back part of the barrel bottoming out in the receiver, (at the rails??) So, it would appear that the receiver is overall too short... but it doesn't apperar altered???.. Stacking thousands??, or just wrong end of the plus tolerances's??.. Annnnddd, somewhere along the line, I'm going to have to buy or make a headspace gauge... Woe is me....

... but the challenge is eagerly met, ...

... Thanks guys, best to you all, til...lat'r...GT
