Quite some time ago I ordered a HF Chrome Lined 6.8 barrel for a new build. I put it together and it will not fully chamber factory 6.8 rounds or my reloads. Those loads functioned perfectly in my other 6.8 rifle, a factory Noveske 6.8. Since I had 2 complete carriers/bolts in 6.8, I traded parts around trying to make it function and nothing makes a difference. The new build with the new barrel just won't function. In fact, when I try to chamber a round the bolt will not completely close and I have to mortar the stock on the groung to unchamber the round. I believe the chamber is too tight and would like to get it fixed if possible.
I don't really want to try to return it because of the hassle and it might not even be an option after the 3 or so months since I placed the order. Can a gunsmith fix the chamber/headspace (Chrome Lined) or am I stuck with what I have. |

Not any help but you're not alone.
