My new barrel doesn't fit!

[AKM]

Dropped it off...he said itll be next week before its done most likely....if I had optics already id be upset but I dont so meh

 

[AKM]

I was going to freeze the barrel but it was too much for it to work.

 

[Acera]

put the barrel in the freezer, and the stripped receiver in the oven. cook to 300F, turning occasionally. assemble.

I will then fit, but will probably crack the aluminum receiver when it returns to room temp. If both parts were steel, I would suggest this also, but not with such a soft material like aluminum.

For installation or threading?

I am going to be taking my stock 10/22 barrel out tonight to have it threaded. Hope it comes out that easy.

Chuck if you need a hand let me know. Who is doing the threading?

There you go Mike! You will have it done in 30 minutes. Go slow with fine grit paper and lube the tenon before final installation.
