Quoted: Quoted: The indexing pin is on the barrel extn and not the barrel The pin goes clear through the extension into the barrel. Not in my experience |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: my understanding it depends on if it is too big or too small. if it is too big the barrel has to be re threaded and a correct chamber cut. if too small you can just enlarge the chamber. Cool.. thats what i was looking for... Thanks to all. I'd steer away from this advice as it is completely irrelevant in terms of the Garand/M14 design. An M14 has a chrome chamber and if the bolt is too tight (which is fairly common on certain batches of SA, INC. M1A receivers), you use a shorter bolt. The above process describes bolt gun building. I was not taking it as step by step advice just general discussion.. I am no armoror and would not attempt such a undertaking with out hand holding from a professional.. I dont feel like having a rifle kaboom in my face. It won't have to be rethreaded most times as if you're correcting headspace you may only have to remove a few thou. If the barrel has a gas port or a front sight, it will have to be set back exactly one thread to ensure the port to sight realigns. The bolt face clearance will also have to be reset. It's not hard to do and doesn't take very long. Headspace isn't really that important either  |
