Swapping barrels between actions and chamber jobs

[bsumoba]

So far, all the barrels I have will go into both my BAT actions. I use my headspace go gauges and they close with no bolt resistance with the firing pin assembly out. Then, I put a piece of scotch tape behind the gauge and the bolt will not close.

I also have fired rounds from both actions using the same barrel and both will measure within 0.0005" tenths of each other for the shoulder to base measurement, assuming the smith chambered them the same way.

Having said that, would it be safe to say that if I wanted to send out my action to get chambered, that I could just send one action and all my barrels and they all can be chambered to that one action and I should be good to swap the barrels to my other action?

All a gunsmith needs is one of those barrels if you want the next one the same. He wont need your action

Billy Stevens did that for me on my Bat and the HS was perfect.

One of my smiths http://www.hbrifles.com/ Hillbilly Custom Rifles actually gives me a copy of the blueprint he makes of the barrel and action, he really blueprints them if asked.....

Makes it easy as heck to call and order a barrel as he keeps copies on file....
