Tightening a barrel

G.T. · 06-15-2013, 10:05 PM

Hi Guys, we need to get on the same page on one item of barrel installation... 1/8 of a turn... by degrees, is considerably different the 1/8" inch of rotation on the circumference.... if the edge of the extractor relief of the barrel is close to the extractor relief on the receiver... just prior to lining up, (just visible)... it's going to get tight fast!!! If it is 1/8 of a turn of a rotation, or more, it is going to be too tight!!!!!... or at least close to the end of what ever crush rate is figured in the flange undercut... tough to hold everything when it gets to that point... best to all, til...lat'r....GT
