How much gap do you have between rear baffle and bolt handle

[missed]

Both the bolt bodies are from SSS. Im going to tear both the rifles down tomorrow and get to measuring.

Actually I'll get a good measurement on the gap tomorrow and see what they really are. I did put a factory bolt handle back on and the gap was less than the aftermarket one. I'll cut up a shim and see how that goes also. Hmm maybe time for a custom handle and rear baffle build. I have always hated how it hits the extraction ramp.



I'm sure mine is more than 70-75 thou it's at least 100 probably closer to 125.

It was hot in the shop and I didn't feel like dealing with it tonight. Got my ass tore up from some spiders this week and sweating with the spider bites is not nice.

Maw(wife) got bit at camp by what the Doc thought may have been a brown recluse. She has about a 3/8" diameter shallow hole -scar in her shin where whatever it was got her. It took about three months until it healed completely.

The most accurate way to measure PE, with the barrel removed take two measurements from the receiver ring to the bolt head, one with the bolt locked to battery and a second with it unlocked pushed fully forward. The difference between the two is the amount of PE.

Of course if you don't want to, feel like or like me too lazy to pull the barrel this is one option.


Drill-tap two blind holes for 6-32 set screws, the one on the left as pictured needs to be higher to clear the spring-ball bore. Adjust the screws proud to correct the PE, measure they're protrusion then use 242 to lock them in place. Its a lot easier than shortening a bolt body, can be adjusted if need be using an allen wrench without tearing anything apart and if down the road you replace the bolt handle they can be re-adjusted or removed.
