Can you screw a pre-64 Win Model 70 barrel onto a G33/40, and if so, will it damage the G33/40 threads? Matt FISH!!

The reason I asked is that I saw a G33/40 for sale on the web with a pre-64 model 70 barrel screwed on it (257 Roberts). After a long look a the photo's, it looks like the barrel was set back quite a bit (enough obviously). As for the Rigby project, my gunmaker has finally gotten a start on shaping the barrel. I broke my thumb in June, (the same day my daughter got brace$$$), and was out of work for a few months. Just had a run of bad luck this summer. I'm back in the saddle again, however. The Rigby magnum bottom metal that I got from Wisners seems to be a bit too wide (Fits 1917 Enfeilds real well). On the hunt again for bottom metal. I would really like to get some measurements from an original from the 50's era. Matt Matt FISH!!
