Default I have pondered this before!

And I think that the barrel could be cut / set back one full turn, and at the same time cut (as large a radius as possible?) slightly forward as well? And then a spacer cut and pressed on to replicate the shoulder and flange area, and install and profiled same as the original concave radius and flange? It would be like a two part barrel?.... all it has to do is re-index correctly and tightly, and also have the extractor and feed ramp recut, and be re-chambered to close on the "GO"... I could accomplish that? It wouldn't be perfect, but I bet it would work?.... Anyway, some better than .020" too deep on the breech end??..... Best to you, til...lat'r....GT .....

I have spacers if needed, not a bad idea.
As long as a chamber not to long already.

Default headspace....

Hi Rick, My father was an old time gun shop owner thru the 50's and 60's... I was always anal about headspace, and he always said it's not a big deal???? We never resolved our differences on this matter? .. But, my opinion was, it never hurts to be within spec?.... Miss ya dad!......... best to all, til...lat'r....GT......
