    Barrel set back?


    How much of the shank can be cut and still
    have enough threads for the bbl nut?
    I figure I'll need 1/2" +or- for a full neck clean-up.
    Trying to go from .223 to 22BR
    Going from short to long is a no brainer but has anyone
    went to a shorter cartridge.
    Thanks for any help.

    Depends on who is going to cut the chamber. Some folks don't like to start a larger reamer into a smaller hole. Check your PMs, Mike.
    Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.
