Thread: Barrel change, need advice

Can a remington barrel be screwed into a Husky 1600 action.
mechanical wizardry afoot again.

No. .980" - 12TPI so smaller and courser thread. Remington is 1.05ish" 16tpi

Thanks Walker.
Any idea how to adjust the trigger on these things
I have one made in 1964 that is great , some one has obviously worked on it and another made i 1957 that is ok but heavy
Cheers.
And @Husky1600

Both, from what I can sort are 1640 [ long action]

Have been pondering over this today - once you've cleaned up the Remington it doesn't have enough material to re thread to fit a small ring Mauser like the Husky.

If you were going to do that you could do it a little easier and use the chamber end of the barrel.
Seems to be quite a few that do it in the US
Barrel stubbing
Heard it is also a method to re barrel P14s as they have a larger barrel tenon than most. Not always ideal though and other factors come into play.

For others there was a sight on the internet with all this info. @jakewire I might have the the diagrams for the action and the barrel. I’ll have a quite look.

Sorry don’t seem to have the 1600 model.
Hope this might be of some help.
I also have a schematic drawing of the action if this is of help let me know.
