ive aaked this before not on the hide but got no reply ive got a b14 that ill be rebarreling soon if you dont get a satisfactory answer by then ill post the dimensions we come up with when we are finnished
I called Bergara. They said they didn’t know it was made in Spain !,,, LOL. Yea i then asked them u mean there is nobody that can obtain this for me. They responded with its metric !,, Lol
ya they then tryed to sell me on a 550 factory bbl swap which isnt terrible but i own a lathe i dont want a factory bbl
In the samd boat. Im taking measurements for mine. The only thing is that pesky coned bolt angle to figure out. Tempted to just cut it flat
i had the discussion on flat like a savage pre fit we were un decided so far but if it doesnt work can always recess it after you try it flat
on a bit of a side note have either of you guys had issues in the factory b14 rifles with unsupported rear sections or brass swelling near the base after say 2 or 3 firings in the b14 ???
i had 3 firings on my hornady brass in 6.5 cm and attempted to load some of it in a fresh 6.5 cm i built and long story short after tripple checking head space and a few other things surmised that the brass that went through the bergara had to be small base full length resized before it would work in any other of the 6 6.5 cm chambers that were sitting in my garage. but any of those 6 rifles would fully accept any and all other hand load and or factory ammo so long as the brass had never been fired from my bergara.
just wondering if mine was a misshap or if theyre all chambered loose in the rearend?

I'm hoping someone does a Savage style prefit with a barrel nut soon. It would make things way easier.
That is pretty common as saami allows I believe +.002 tolerance and standard dies to not touch the base of the case.
So if you shoot it in a chamber on the loose side a few times then it will not fit in a tight chamber without SB die resizing.
I have a steel nut that I have bored to .472 or .471, dont remember and use it as a go gauge. If a case fits through it will chamber in anything.
