Barrels shim
« on: March 22, 2012, 12:19:48 AM »
Did my first barrel shim on a H&R, a 308 Ultra. Needed a .002 and it's perfect. Read everything I needed right here.
Thanks

Good job.  I've been super blessed.  Thus far, every barrel I've bought has locked up like it was made for my receivers.  ;)  Glad you found one that works good.  8)
