question for Rick, Rich, Hugh and others that have twisted on a barrel or two...

[Hugh]

I agree with Joe. I always used Neverseeze thread dope. When I encountered a tight fit between bbl and receiver, I would go slow, turning in a round and then backing out and then going in two rounds and backing out one, etc. Usually new bbls never lined up and a small amount had to be turned off the flange to get correct. This is the tricky part, take too much off and buy another bbl!!!
