Hello, everyone.
I really appreciate the feedback and replies that you all sent me regarding my post from the other day addressing the issue of .408 Cheytac owners who are having problems with their M-200 Intervention.
I wanted to take the time and clear up a few issues for everyone, from the questions that I received.
First of all, Jamison International only makes the ammo for Cheytac. Cheytac buys the ammo from Jamison International to be sold with their guns. When the crew from Jamison International heard of my problem, they went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with my Cheytac rifle. Jamison International was under no obligation what so ever to assist me, but they are a great group of guys and they stepped up to the plate, and I am really grateful that they did.
As for the issue concerning the crappy factory trigger; Marc and Chris at jamison strongly recommended that I replace it with a Jewell trigger with a much lighter pull setting, for the simple reason that I had previously told them that I was a long-range precision shooter with many different sniper rifles in my collection, and most of them already have custom trigger jobs and or very light two-stage trigger set-ups. It only made sense to upgrade the factory trigger and I would have to agree.
As for the questions that I received concerning who exactly made my receiver on the M-200; It was Beckler Machine & Tool USA. From the information that I received, it is my understanding that my particular M-200 Intervention is actually third-generation. Which in fact, is supposedly better than the second-generation series, but I can't recall as to who it was at this time. I'll try to locate that information and get back with everyone. Also, I understand that alot of the parts and pieces that go into the Cheytac M-200 Intervention, is actually out-sourced from other companies and then assembled at Cheytac (Cheyenne Tactical). I had always assumed that most of everything that went into these particular systems was mostly all done in-house. I guess that just goes to show that assumption can be the mother of all screw-ups.
Something else that may have slipped by everyone that was previously mentioned in my original posting, was the fact that the bolt was never stamped with the matching serial number of the gun. I find this particularly odd, to say the least. Most gun manufacturers always make sure that the bolt and the receiver have matching numbers.
To answer the one question concerning the issue of using a Go and No-Go gauge when my rifle was sent back to Cheytac for repair; well, your guess is as good as mine. Let me put it this way guys; I know for a fact that most of your well-known and or high-end gun manufacturers usually put each and every one of their firearms through some sort of testing and quality control before it ever ships out of the factory. Proper quality control should guarantee fluid operation of each firearm and make it safe for the consumer/gun owner. There are a number of gun manufacturers that even go as far as after they test fire their product that they will even include the spend casing and sometimes even along with the target that they shot at. I guess that you guys and I are in about the same bowl of soup, so to speak, when trying to get figure this one out, because there's still parts of this that still don't make any sense.
Anyway, I hope that I answered everyone's questions and that I was able to be helpful in all of this. Trust me, I'm still trying wrap my head around all of this, but hopefully sooner or later, it will all make sense somehow. Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I hope that I was able to provide some useful information.
Until next time, KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY.
