If the tenon threads were cut under spec there would be room to "grow" into the receiver threads - mebee?Leeroy wrote:Looking back at the picture there does appear to be quite a long thread relief at the chamber mouth.. The wall thickness is quite thin here and so this probably contributed to the expansion as there is no support from the receiver.

Yes this could happen but you would know by the rattly fit in the receiver..
As Albow has explained above, the thread relief at the chamber mouth was likely the cause of the expansion in this barrel..
