Loose Chamber - Tactical Solutions 1022 barrel

[MrAnchovy]

Hi all,

I just received a Tactical Solutions 1022 barrel in the mail and I found the chamber to be really really loose. I have not shot it yet, so I can't comment on its accuracy, but the chamber worries me. I put my calipers in the chamber and the largest reading I got was 0.25". The stock barrel chamber was a little tighter at about 0.247. When I put a dummy round in the chamber I can feel it jiggle a bit in the stock barrel, but considerably more in the new Tac Sol barrel. Worried I may have received a bum barrel. If anyone out there has a Tac Sol barrel, I appreciate it if you could do a quick check. Is a chambered round a little loose with a little bit of a jiggle? Calipers would be great if you got em can you measure the inside of the chamber, maybe 1/4" into the chamber and put my fears to rest? I emailed Support at TacSol, but probably won't get a reply till at least Monday.

The manufacture is your best bet.....

Yup, no kegel exercises for rifles. It's good you checked this before install.

You know their sbx barrel looks like a neat option for someone living in a free state.... However if one has a suppressor to put in it then wouldn't the sbr not be a big deal? Anyway, sorry to go off topic.

I would return it and buy a Whistle Pig barrel. Pretty much the same animal except the WP barrels have Bentz style chambers and can actually turn out decent groups. The TacSol barrels have a factory style chamber and are known to shoot big groups.
