Mauser re-barrel question

[Sniperhandle]

How much crush do you think you have? I don't think you will be able to crush much more than a thou.

Good time to fix that before reaming, I would want it to have more crush on the face of the rec than on the internal C-ring. There has been a lot of debate on the subject. The proper way is to have it crush on both surfaces.

Looking good, I try not have have that much of the barrel sticking out when I thread because you are going to get deflection, But looking good my friend.

I’ll measure again, it may have been less in the vid.
I use a live center to support. It’s quite rigid. I can take .060 cuts at 600+ rpm with no chatter. Not that I’d take that big of a cut on a rifle barrel.
