Ok everyone, this is my first genuine need information post on this forum
Pdog buddy gave me a 6mm rem that had a scary barrel. I do everything myself so bought this Shilen 12 twist to swap out.
I am not sure where to find dimension/ clearance numbers (like a drawing) to answer my questions so here goes.
Thanks in advance for all feedback and i will do my best to comprehend.
1) Rem 700 6 mm remington
2) New Shilen barrel with chamber cut 0.015 deep, by my choice.
Qualify #2: if its too deep i can remove metal, if short would require a chamber reamer to chase out.
So here we are.
3) barrel screwed to receiver hand firm with recoil lug in place. Clean threads, bottoms out solid not mushy.
Questions:
A) What is max clearance between go gauge and bolt face.
B) How much room is desireable end of bolt lug?
C) How much room is desireable end of bolt to the surface outside the chamber.
Ok:
It is evident that to reduce go gauge clearance by more than .013 that 3 surfaces will have to be moved.
Third one being face barrel major diameter at recoil lug.
