Bruno Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I glad to see there’s a forum for the R1. Well I just got my 30.06 last week and I thought I’d field strip it and put it back together a few times before I hit the range. My question is how tight or how many turns is need for the barrel locking cap? Do I tighten until it stops, or is there a number of turns? I know the barrel should be perfectly locked against the receiver, But I looking for input before I screw things up? Thanks in advance.

JOE KICKASS Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The owners manual says " tighten the barrel locking cap onto the cylinder guide pin and tighten it firmly until the barrel-receiver-cover unit is perfectly locked against the receiver" So tighten it all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PutEmDown Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi. I did notice if I tighten it all the way then the magazine does not drop out. Is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 No... the bolt shouldn't have any effect on the magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
