It is interesting to see that the original Navy receiver has not been faced back 2mm to accommodate the replacement barrel, but rather, the flange of the Tikka barrel has been turned down to allow barrel to be seated further into the receiver. I suspect some tinkering was done to make a tight fit torque for the barrel since it can't be snugged down on the flange.
