I have a Yugo K98 receiver that is going to be a 257 Roberts very, very shortly. I have a Adams & Bennett barrel for it and it should be heading over to Mark Skaggs at Skaggs gunsmithing here in a week or two. I haven't rebarrelled anything but I've done lots. (and lots. and lots) of work on cars, engines, etc so I know what a bolt and nut should feel like when they're threaded together.
My understanding is that for most mausers, the barrel should be able to be screwed into the receiver with a small amount of force until one or the other of the shoulders make contact. This one goes in about one full turn and then stops. I haven't tried to force it, but as soon as it stops, it is difficult to remove. The threads on both the barrel and in the receiver are clean and don't look to be damaged at all. This is new terrain for me, so should I be worried at all?
