Yep!

I was wondering why do you need to remove the front scope base screw?

Sometimes the screws on the front scope mount are long enough to go thru the action and lock into the barrel threads. If you don't remove them the barrel won't spin out or the mount screw will bugger up the barrel threads as you remove the barrel.

After you have removed the barrel, reinstall the scope mount. If you can see/feel the mount screws sticking thru, remove them and file them shorter until they don't protrude. After that, you won't need to worry about it for future swaps.


Got it, thanks!
