Hello,
I just acquired a custom Lilja stainless barrel, that came off a stainless Remington model 7. I was hoping it would spin right on to one of two actions I have (722, 700 A-prefix)...it would not.
It measures maybe 2/10thous too big for my actions, it will start in, but only go 3-4 threads before stopping. I tried turning it a bit more with an action wrench but it bound up when I went to back it out... made me pucker a bit, but it came off.
Does this need to be put back on a lathe, or can I try working it in with lapping compound?
Thanks in advance for your help and recommendations.
Jeff
