Question for guys running Rem-Age style pre fits

[Shawnba67]

What is the go guage protrusion on your prefit?
Please include your counterbore depth since its crucial also.
If you just used brass please be sure to say so.
Thanks much.
Im just curious.

I cant decide if Im surprised this got no responses!
If you've got one of these, you gotta check it man! Trusting in good work is a fine thing, 60k 1" from your face requires some investigation on behalf of your face!

It's a fine question; I just don't think anyone has what you're asking for written down and probably aren't going to disassemble to measure it.

The "three rings of steel" is unnessecary in my opinion: nowhere near as important as proper vent paths and redirection of gas away from the shooter in the event of a rupture. As long as the case is properly supported by the barrel, and bolt to barrel clearances are correct, then no real additional safety is acheived by burying that interface into a countersink in the barrel.

The Mauser is a safer design in my mind because of the large bolt shroud at the back redirecting gas coming down the raceways away from the shooters face, the large firing system vent in the bolt body reducing the amount of gas venting from the back of the bolt into the shooter's face, and the third bolt lug holding the back and front of the receiver together to help prevent it separating in the the weaker raceways.

What should it measure? That way I’ll know what to look for when I pull mine apart.

I trust shouldered barrels all the time without knowing the protrusion numbers. As long as my gauges chamber properly why would I treat a pre-fit differently?

Your shouldered barrel was measured and fit to your action, but you have to have a little trust there. Id want trust and a look at the measurements! Your prefit was made big enough to fit nearly every/any action.
As far as what it should measure, within 0.010 of your bolt face depth. I ask because Im curious how much extra clearance the prefits seem to have.

They gotta have plenty in 3 spots instead of just one on a savage. Thats why i wouldnt do one for a remington myself. You can stack tolerances a bunch on a remington prefit

Brass tells the story,simple as that. Why do you need more ? If you don't trust in them why so curious ?

Pot stirring thread.

I just got dies for my 22br remage. There is .165" of case head exposed. Is this good or bad? I need a go gauge, this one has me nervous.

I have a CBI 223 remage, didn't check anything, works great.

You will never know until you measure your action

Or its actually just a question of curiosity on a question its hard to find a manufacturers numbers for. But hey your post count went up, without much effort.

You got my curiosity piqued, so i measured two barrels using go gages. A Savage stock barrel in 223, and an X-caliber 6mmbr Savage prefit.

.1285 and .1295 respectively. Neither is counter bored.

Not what you were asking about, but hopefully interesting nonetheless.

so theres .001 difference in the one measurement on a savage that matters. Remington has 4 that have to line up

Do they though? I'd argue that the countersink can be loose and have no effect, and it's really just the bolt ring to barrel face clearance and the headspace from the bolt face to the shoulder that NEED to be right to be safe.

some do argue that way yes. ive seen remingtons chambered without the counterbore like a savage. not me but to each his own. theres a reason we set clearances where we do.

Oh I agree. In the land of properly done stuff, you do it all, within spec.

How many folks have died from using Remage barrels ? Must be documentation somewhere,along with a class action lawsuit .

I googled it,did not find anything.
