Hi guys, I ordered a barrel for my 94 (30-30), nice 26" octagonal. It was from Numrich pre threaded, chambered and with dovetailed cut, ready to go on the 94.
I wound the new one on and it lined up well, it is however about a degree off alignment. I am basing this from the extractor grove alingment in the outer ring of the action and the inner ring of the barrel. I tried turning it that extra degree and it seems to want to spring back. The bolt closes fine on a dummy round and the extractor fits the groove and extracts fine.
Should I vise it back up and try and clock it to perfect alignment or should it be fine with a 1 degree misalignment. I don't want to warp the action, the 94 action isn't that robust.
Here are some photos to illustrate what I am talking about, the original barrel had perfect alignment.
Am I being fussy? Had another go to turn it that tiny bit clockwise, but any more pressure really might damage the action!
So with the 1 degree short of indexing, as the extractor moves into the grove fine and extracts a dummy round. Do you think I should just shot it and see how it goes?
What effect will the sight alignment being that 1 degree to the right have?
