I bought 24" vent rib barrel for a winchester super X3 for 31/2" chamber to put on my super X2 with 3" chamber
Everything i seen says it will fit. I know that i can only shoot up to 3" shells.
My problem is everything fits great except it is about 1/8" from seating all the way so my barrel nut will only screw on about 2 turns.
I noticed that the vent rib is bottoming out on the receiver so it won't let it go back all the way
My question is, can I just cut 1/8" off the vent rib so the barrel will seat all the way?
Any help would be appreciated

I saw this question asked on another site but I never seen an answer

THANKS KENN
