I've never chambered a barre for a m2013 before and I'm planning on building a 338lm on one. My question is, is it really as simple as following the barrel tenon drawings that badger provides? Also, the drawing says that go gage protrusion should be .134" is this not excessive case exposure, or will most of that be seated inside the bolt nose? Thanks fellas!
 
most of it will be in the bolt nose the bolt face is back .129 so that gives you a clearance of .005, after torqueing down the barrel you will have .003 to .004 clearance hope this helps.

That protrusion is pretty normal. AW's are .134. Nothing but solid brass at that part of the case(except for the flash hole).
