Artillery Barrel Specs???

Cutting the flange back means I also need to cut back the overall length of the threaded stub...my 30 cal barrel was .755", so that's what I'm shooting for here...(1st pic)

I didn't bother taking more pics of the same procedure...suffice it to say that I cut back the flange and stub 4 times to get them spot on...here's the final result, both receiver and barrel level when assembled, without pulling the threads out of the receiver...(ignore the penny loafers - they're my machining shoes)...(2nd and 3rd pics)

Here we are, properly (well, properly for me!) indexed, torqued, and assembled. Ejector notch and feed ramp still needs to be cut. After those two are done, I'll finish cut the chamber and set the headspace. (4th pic)
