I may be wrong, but I don't think a chambered barrel is hand lapped. I thought all lapping is done both prior to and after rifling. Like I say, I might be wrong like usual.

Sent you a PM.

I ended up doing all my factory bolts myself, with hand tools. Works for me.

Tucker, does Dennis still own this company?

Don't know how many assemblers are making any, but the main ones I see are Stag. I say assemblers because of his requirements. Or he could do it himself.

I'd do as most have suggested. But I'd at least check, that when you put the action into the stock and the rear of the recoil lug is against the stock's lug abutment, your action screws aren't riding against the pillars.

I'd get a hold of Geissele and request a set of pins. I believe they are slightly oversized to fit snugly into your lower unless your lower is slightly worn or slightly overspec.

My question is, did GAP put the anti rotation pins on? The reason I ask is Geissele specifically states not to use them. I'm sure that if GAP installs them, they must do some special magic to them.

I always use a bore guide, because there are times when entering the throat area uncentered I might run the risk of damage, also to try to eliminate any chance of slapping the lands with the rod if I hit a tight spot. I also bring the jag all the way out the crown and don't want to bring it...

I use 21st Century as well.

I currently have 5 Harris and 3 Atlas. On my AICSs, I'm running both. Don't really know if I want to spend the money to get another Atlas and spigot when the Harris is working well for me. I agree with Where's-Waldo, that the Harris is quicker to deploy, adjust (notched) and stow.

Great people and fast turn around. Every stock I've sent to Jeff for inletting for his dbm was returned in a week from when he received it and I live on the west coast. Love his ringtone.

This is what I found a few yrs ago: Gale McMillan on Remington vs Winchester The only reason that the mod.70 ever got anywhere in competition was the smoothness of the action. Since it gets half the closing cam from the bolt lug and half from the receiver and because it has a weak firing...

If you're ever around Longview/Kelso, you could try mine.

It can and is done quite a bit. Brownell's and Midway sell prethreaded short chambered Shilen barrels. AAC also sells a barrel that is adjusted only by varying the recoil lug thickness. I've got a .308 with one of the prethreaded short chambered Shilen barrels that I installed myself. I...
