Model 70 Classic Take off Barrel Fit

Generally speaking, for those who have changed model 70 classic barrels with barrels from other Model 70 classics, how well did they fit?

What I mean by that, of course, is that when you lined up the mortise in the barrel for the extractor, was the headspace within acceptable limits?

Thank you.

The few I messed with went together just fine, but the thread fit on them all, including the original barrel and receiver were sloppy with a capital S. Not near the tolerance of a pre 64. Also they aren't really worth the trouble to fit them to a pre 64 as they are not half of the barrel to start with and will require nearly as much work as a premium blank.

I would say it would be worth it to fit a pre 64 barrel to a classic, bt would rather see one go back on a pre 64 action.
