[reddog]

I.m getting ready to chamber my first barrel using a T3 receiver which I bought on the classifieds. As I didn't get a barrel with the receiver I need, major thread dia. , tpi, thread length, cone taper, etc. Or if someone has a drawing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you can't look at it and measure what you need to make are you sure you should be making it.

I can figure it out but I'd like some confirmation.

Threads are 1"-16 but I can't remember the rest. It has no cone though. If you machine your shank length so you have about .015" clearance between the front of the bolt ring and the breech face of the barrel you'll be fine. I rethreaded a Douglas heavy from a 700 for mine.
