Terry--
Did I miss you mentioning the chambering?

If you need to to go up to Shane's and kick the project loose at some point, let me know. He only lives about 90 minutes north of me (next door in this region) and he has done some stock duplicating and a basic barrel job. I have never had the jingle to pull the trigger on a full custom. His machine work is top flight. I saw the barreled action that was the examination/test piece that he submitted for adjuciation for entry into the Guild. It was had complex integrated rib and sights, all milled from a single round blank. He made some chips on floor with that project.
