I need to cut an additional dovetail slot on the underside of the barrel to allow the Pachmayr adapter to be used with the Pachmayr forearm. Does anyone know the angle of the dovetail cut, or have a schematic? Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the input. One of my barrels appears to have been a longer rifle barrel that has been cut down, and the spacing between the dovetails is too wide. This barrel will have to be cut regardless. One of the barrels is 10", so I may go the shorter adapter. Thanks.

We haven't run it out on the mill yet, but using a caliper, looks like we can fit it in if we leave the existing dovetail in place to give reinforcement behind it. We will end up grinding off the threads to get down to barrel height to allow the forearm to fit. Yes it is a pain to do this, but it is a 375 JDJ barrel and don't want the forearm flying off while shooting the darn thing.
