Time for a new barrel

[alexs2006]

Barrel has been delivered and hopefully will be done by middle of next week.

So the barrel manufacturer did not list any break-in instructions on their website so I emailed them and this is what I got in return. I found it quite interesting.

Barrel break in on high end barrels is a myth. I would just shoot it and clean it once accuracy drops off.

I have heard both ways. but I tend to lean towards what you and the barrel maker says.

Got the gun back today. Went to chamber a round and the bolt wouldn’t close. Even on factory loaded ammo. Smith took it back and is going to open the throat out some. He admitted to making the chamber tight. I don’t turn down case necks so he’s going to sort the issue out Monday and get it back to me asap. Damn does it look good though!

So, what smith doesn't cut a chamber to fit factory ammo?as in, they never check the chamber?

He admittedly used a tight neck reamer.

**** happens, but none the less inconvenient.

Yeah dude should’ve asked what are you shooting? It’s cool he can cut tight chambers, but who’s shooting a tight chambered .22-250?? lol

That was my thought but, alas he’s making it right with the quickness. So I can’t complain much about the inconvenience

Homeboy fed you a load of crap.

Since you already have to go back, what i would do is bring him round you you plan to shoot. And tell him how much jump you want.
