Proof Research Tikka prefit?

[hawk-i]

I see on some websites they have Proof Research prefit barrels for tikka rifles which they say requires No gunsmithing to install.

So,do the barrels simply screw on to the action and you don't have to set the headspace? or are they using a barrel nut?

thx

Hey, guess I should have just emailed Proof first...they replied in less than 30 minutes...their answer below:

Hi Mike,

The barrels are pre chambered and head spaced. This can only be achieved on certain actions that hold a tight enough tolerance, constantly. You should always confirm the head spacing after installing for safety reasons with a go/ no go gauge.

I hope this helps.

So are the shouldered prefits or a barrel nut system?
