Just looking forward to getting the barrel. It's not like I don't have anything to shoot.

Got a couple jugs of surplus WC860 waiting for the arrival of my 264WM.

If that powder turns out to be too fast, guess I'll have to grind up some charcoal briquettes.

Barrel and trigger arrived! Everything was well packaged. Thank you Lance.

Looking forward to todays install and beyond.

Has anyone installed and shot their 6.5 barrel from the group buy yet? If so what kind of results? I installed my 6.5x55 the other day but have had to sand the barrel channel and am waiting on a base so I can drop a scope on it. Getting anxious to see the results!

best so far is about 1.25" @ 100yd using the 142smk. The 120nos and 120amax were 2-3". Hopefully with some more load development and break in, it can get down to the 5/8 range....

[seanhagerty]

Had a little trouble getting mine attached. Had gunk on my action threads and didn't realize it. I spent an hour threading it on, threading it off..... Finally got it installed, then forgot I was wanting to find the length to the lands!

And now that I have my 223 barrel back on, I will have to wait until next time I install to find it!

I still need the recoil lug, barrel nut, dies and bullets before I can get started. I've got a bag of Remington brass though ;)

[montana bob]

I bought an older 110 in a pawn shop a couple months ago for a donor, took the barrel off with no problem, threaded the barrel nut on all the way, slipped the recoil lug on and screwed the barrel on and couldn't get it to headspace on my go gage. It bottomed out on the recoil lug and nut before it reached headspace. I took it off and compared it to my friends extra barrel nut. Mine was threaded all the way through his was threaded about 2/3 the way through and would screw farther up on the barrel and allow me to headspace correctly. Are all older barrel nuts threaded all the way through?

[BoilerUP]

Are all older barrel nuts threaded all the way through?

I believe they are; I ran into that same problem when I installed my 260 Criterion last year on an older 110 flat back action.

Ended up ordering a new barrel nut...

[montana bob]

That's the model I have.
