Bergara rebarrel

[jammer600]

Has anyone pulled a barrel off a Bergara, the recoil lug is fitted into the action, see video.
I’d guess it’s loctited and torqued up

No they're not loctited and not overly tight either, the recoil lug locating tabs are quite flimsy and can easily tear if the barrel is overtightened.

I saw the barrel removed from mine , the tenon fit was best described as sloppy .
The action made for a very straight rifle .

Is a jig used to hold the recoil lug when torqueing the barrel up ?

No not on these but one may work if required.

That’s what I’d heard, the front of the actions can tear
It’ll be luck of the draw then I guess

Yes unfortunately it’s is luck of the draw, I have had several with torn locating tabs so I ended up machining them off. Rgds

Fingers crossed then
Thanks for the info

Have done a few, made a mandrel to true the action face, machined the flimsy recoil lug cover off and trued the face. Fantastic action in my opinion better than a 700, bergara has tighter tolerance, cone face on the barrel and bolt.
