No 1 375 Belted to Flanged....'smith needed

[Flewis]

That what I was thinking about. A smith wouldn’t set the barrel back that far and you have to change the ejector.seems like a lot of work. Also the belt could be as much as 532.

Is body taper the same?

It can be done. Indexing the rib back onto the now set-back barrel makes a re-barrel cheaper and easier.

SSK has the rifle now and will be executing the re-barrel once I come up in the queue.

With the amount of set-back, it doesn't matter. The reamer (in this case) will clean everything up.

Moot point for me now, with the re-barrel.
