I have a ruger MKII in 416 taylor how much work is it to change it to 416 ruger.

gunsmith with a reamer?

I have a 416 Ruger reamer.....but until I see the specs on the actual 416 Ruger I don't know it's the correct shoulder angle etc.....wait until the official specs are known....(PTG probably has it now)

In all likely hood reaming the 416 Taylor to 416 Ruger is a easy job and simply a re-ream job....but until we know the actual specs we don't know that one may have to remove a thread on the barrel....

Has anyone figured out yet if the barrel would need to be set back on a 416 Taylor to Ruger conversion?

Thanks

Dave

Unless the 416Ruger varies greatly from the 375Ruger setback wouldn't be required.
