    Re: Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion When Brad got back from SHOT we connected over the phone. He told me he met with Mike Rock while he was there, and put in a new order with him. He said one of the barrels on the order was an M40, and so that's what we decided he would have...

    Re: Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion Thanks for the heads-up on Speedy you guys. That all verifies the info I found on Speedy when I Google'd his name - that he was a very capable Smith who definitely wouldn't do this... so it must have been the "some other guy." : ) Still no...

    Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion

    Re: Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion OK. I can understand where some of you are coming from, but in this particular case your worries/points are not very relevant. - The rifle is not usable. I was told it was. - The rifle was sold with a description. I emailed Brad multiple times...

    Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion

    Re: Buyers Beware!! Total Disgrace to our Passion @ Flatbush & 300 I feel wdebo is right, and no "apology" is in order. I never attacked Brad personally, I never said bad things about him or his Mom... I merely started this thread to bring to attention some factual information about a rifle...

    Mike Rock Barrels

    Just picked up a new Remington 700 with a S.S. Rock Creek Barrel in it. 308. I noticed that there are absolutely no markings on the barrel to designate caliber, manufacturer, twist rate, etc. Is this lack of markings normal for Rock barrels?
