Free bore issue

CA will probably just run a throating reamer in there and not a full chamber reamer

Which has less room for error. Not to say they won’t get it right, it’s successfully done all the time.

Agreed, it is a very common job for when people want to shoot longer and heavier bullets then the saami throat will allow. Should not be a problem for them at all

Is this what you are referring to? Thanks

That’s a good way to do it. There are also throating reamers meant to be used with the barrel chucked in a lathe.

So here is my question. What is your plan if we tell you CA plan is total junk? Are you going to pay to have the rifle custom rebarrelled?

Ca gonna do whatever they want to do if you send the rifle back.
If you call them and say hey a bunch of people on a forum told me your idea sucks, what kind of response do you think you will get?
So getting yourself frothed up for nothing.

Let them try and fix it. If it doesn't work ask them to buy it back.

I wasn’t asking for someone on the forum to tell me it’s junk so that I could call CA to say that. I was looking for possible fixes to the problem from someone who may have run into this situation and had a fix for it. Thanks to forum members I have a path forward with some options. I would say that there are forum members with much better experience than a customer service rep that goes down a list of answers to customer questions. For me it’s like sending food back to the kitchen at a restaurant. If the attention to detail isn’t there on the first go round I would imagine that it’s even less the second go round. I haven’t decided to cut the throat myself or send it back yet. I ordered a borescope to take a look at it before any decision is made on my part.

I would just send it back to CA and give them there chance to fix it.
Its gonna cost you little to nothing.

If they make it worse they will most likely make it rite or cut your losses and have it rebarreled.
