When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind. [Lord Kelvin]
I've never used a scraper (hand broach?). So I'm not sure if I could do a better job with it.
If my idea works, it ought to produce a practically perfect angled bore in addition to the original straight bore. This would not be sanding by hand in the sense that the bushing and tool are hand held; one of the two (not sure yet which would be better) will be clamped, and the other carefully guided.

That's true, but a mid-spec barrel diameter is impossible in this case, and so a bushing needs to be fitted, as a minimum-spec bushing would provide 0.006" clearance.
To be fair, the barrel diameter specs and bushing specs could be altered (both lowered by 0.004") to have the same spec relationship as the true A1 parts. At best then I would have 0.002" clearance.
So strictly speaking, my barrel diameter to bushing fit is not mid-spec.

Yes, as I stated previously, a combination of a basic dimension barrel and a basic dimension bushing will result in a clearance of .001". I don't know if that would result in springing.Originally Posted by megafiddle
You are the one who wrote that you want to create a mid-spec A1 condition, not me or anyone else. Since mid-spec is more clearance than .001" you can easily create the same clearance as mid-spec with your parts, by opening up the bushing a bit more.
Which is still not equal to mid-spec. See post #12.To be fair, the barrel diameter specs and bushing specs could be altered (both lowered by 0.004") to have the same spec relationship as the true A1 parts. At best then I would have 0.002" clearance.
That's what I've been saying.So strictly speaking, my barrel diameter to bushing fit is not mid-spec.

Simple. That's not all I wanted. The purpose of the project is to fit a barrel. An A1 spec barrel was just a reasonable choice for this first attempt.
If I had a milling machine, I would have tried fitting a match grade barrel, but my hand filing skills aren't up to that level of precision yet.
I also looked around for carbon steel barrels to work with, and all I could find were the Swenson. I wanted something of better quality.

I was basing that on Kuhnhausen Volume II pg 115, where he states that at 0.003" mid-spec clearance, the clearance falls to zero at 100 percent lug engagement. So presumably, it would not be enough at 0.001" or even 0.002".
Actually, no. I never said mid-spec condition, only mid-spec barrel.
-
The Kuhnhausen books are valuable resources, but they are known to contain errors. Unless someone can explain this to me, I would have to say that the statement makes no sense whatsoever. Clearance is clearance. What happens at the chamber end of a barrel can't change the sizes of the muzzle and the bushing, so the clearance remains the same irrespective of lug engagement.
Let us know how it turns out.

I'm certain that Kuhnhausen is referring to the clearance at the upper rear and lower front of the bushing. So the 0.003" clearance (for example) is still there at full engagement; except now the 0.003" is all at the lower rear, and upper front, with none left at the upper rear and lower front. It is at these last two points that the clearance falls to zero. It's just redistributed.
It will be a while, but certainly.
