Feasible to rebarrel?

We all know not to trust a word that comes out of your mouth
I’ve personally measured dozens of Tikka’s, literally the same headspace number every single time. I’ve personally cut hundreds of Tikka shouldered prefits…. Only one to come back…. A “trued” Tikka reciever face from a kitchen table smith. You must be catching all of that guys work. If it factory it’s good.
Everything but this one barrel.
Krieger .308 I got used.
Shot it a couple times and all I can hear is the song YMCA playing and instantly leather clad homos dancing around.
Like thats all it saw with it’s previous owner……
Exactly, you DO need to take a measurement on the receiver and recoil lug. That is my point, the barrel maker literally just took a shot in the dark (educated guess maybe) at the measurement and made it within the .004 range of min/max. This would not be the preferred method of operation.........hahaha
You been gettint the good stuff again at work havnt ya. Weird visions and stuff.
There is consistency in mass production, just not something I am willing to put my reputation and liability insurance up against.
You think Lake City measures every 5.56 round for seating depth, powder charge, etc.? I interviewed there back when it was ATK and they were running 2.7 million rounds of 5.56 per shift.............Just sayin'
I don’t know you from Adam so I won’t argue your point especially since I don’t necessarily disagree with it. Post 36 says everything…. Caring > $$ you’re clearly a real one. I’m just a guy stating my experience for the benefit of the community.
Don't hold back on my account, I actually want to hear your experience. In full transparency I feel I don't do enough Tikkas to really get a large enough sample to make a definitive statement.........so I err on the side of handfit.
I hope I never discourage anyone from posting on here.........that's never my intent. Sometimes I might come off as a hard stance dickhead, this mainly comes out when I hear another hard stance dickhead who is just plain wrong and needs called out. Most of what I post is not a right/wrong thing it's more my experience that may or may not apply to others. I figure I should post my info and let others throw it in the trash if it needs to be.

Certainly not holding back just don’t feel the need to advance, I said what I said. Nor am I discouraged, arguing on forums about trivial things… I’ll leave that to y’all….arguing with the boys over bourbon and cigars = game on. I speak dichhead fluently and either don’t know your dialect or you weren’t asserting it. Either way I say Tikkas are gtg for prefits while still respecting your point of view.
