SOLD Proof research barrel

[Rambo86]

I have a 24” proof barrel chambered in .308. Muzzle brake thread pitch is 5/8x24. Barrel came off a rem 700 action. Has about 100rounds down the pipe. Looking to get 475 for shipped.

What thickness recoil lug this barrel must be used with to have proper headspace?

 

[Rambo86]

The recoil lug is standard rem lug. I can post the exact thickness tonight when back home.

.1875

Somehow my factory Remington 700 recoil lug measures around .1800 +/-
Was the barrel fit to your particular action by a smith?

 

[Rambo86]

I had my action trued and chambered with a gun smith I’ve done a few builds with.

Just spent 30 minutes doing research. Remington's production process creates variations between rifles in how the headspace is set. I found a comment that barrels are installed first and the headspace is achieved by machining bolt lugs. This makes almost impossible interchanging barrels between production rifles afterwards without getting custom made recoil lugs.

Installing this barrel is an easy job for any gunsmith.
