    What are actual op rod tab specs???

    Have a question on the height of the tab on a op rod. Info plastered on the internet reads .320-.317 and .310 calls for rejection.
    The way I interpet this is a new tab would measure .320-.317 and is in spec to .311
    On page 137 in Kuhnhausens Shop manual is a diagram that reads .317 is minumum

    So which is actual minimum specs for the op rod tab height ??

    Thanks

    Until it doesn't work honestly.

    The internet is parroting a manufacturing drawing specification. That's great if you need a tab to drawing tolerance.

    True, but the better the fit the smoother the ride - While the rifle may function it may not be the optimum for accuracy

    i think it reads like this .320-.317 are good for new builds .310 when found during rebuilds gets tossed.
