Mis-info out there

[stimpylu32]

I got bored this morning and went surfing the net , was supprised about the amount of mis -information that is out there in reguards to the H&R / NEF firearms . everything from barrel fitting , to stocks , to fractory info.

From what i have read in the last few hours i'm amased that more people are not hurt trying some of the dumb things they are told to do . one guy even said to file down the breach face to fit up a barrel . 

I'm just glad that i fownd this site and a great bunch of people that know what they are talking about .

Stimpy, there are cases where the breech face may need to be trued by just doing that, filing it flat. The only one that I've had that issue with is the .308 BB I just bought, not only was the breech face uneven, there was too much heaspace with factory ammo due to the uneven face, there was a gap in the middle of the barrel face when looking across from side to side, but it was touching at the top and bottom!. If the headspace is correct, there's not much choice without rechambering, but this barrel was a perfect example for cleaning up the factory mess. Fred has info on this on his web site too. I think it was oldbifer that had the same problem with one of his barrels. This would only be done before fitting the barrel and making changes to the pivot or latch shelf, and has been added to my barrel fitting help in the FAQs.

This was a case of the barrel being used and would not close , granted sometimes the face may need to be trued up , but as a rule i think that was bad advice for this perticular case .

The barrel was a standard 243 .

If the barrel face is true, then the only fitting would indeed be just at the pivot, then the latch shelf, fitting would never be done by removing metal from the barrel face unless headspace was excessive to begin with.
