I've been reading through the accuracy / gunsmith book from brownells and I'm a bit confused - this is my first barrelling job so I want to take the time and do it right.
If I understand it I do the following after centering up the chamber end of the barrel.
0) if I set up using the centers method not the headstock method I don't center off gauge pins?
1) cut a truing pass
2) cut my pocket (in my case I have the manson pocket cutter)
3) cut my tenon to the required diameter of my trued out action (used the dave manson accurizing kit which overcut the threads .010) so I turn my tenon to 1.075 as this is what the recoil lug reamer was set to. I've got a badger ordnance maximum recoil lug it is .313 thick. HOW long do I cut my tenon to the shoulder?
Is the threaded portion to bottom out at the back of the action perfectly?
4) once this is accomplished I should be able to close the bolt when the action is threaded on?
5) begin chambering operations?
