I have a new Savage 110FP in 300 WM that i'm wanting to have a Badger removable brake installed on. Couple of questions regarding the job.
1. Is the barrel removed from the action to thread the barrel ? Or can the smith leave the barrel attached to the action and still chuck it up in the lathe ?
2. The stock barrel length is 24", does the smith have to cut the barrel shorter to thread it ? I'd like to keep the barrel 24".
3. Does the whole barrel have to be refinished or can the area threaded just be "touched up" ? Or....... does the lathe chucks leave marks on the finish that requires a full refinish?
Thanks,
Fz
