Rd,
No where did I say he did not build a good rifle. His 1/4" claims are BS.
Also if you read the post on the long rifles guy about what he does should take about 1/3 of what is printed. If you don't ream the raceway and either fit a bolt or bush the OD to match, you ain't got a properly machined receiver. I don't think bushing the boltface and using,say, a .062 firing pin, you are still missing the elements of a custom.
Josh,
I think you made a real great choice in the way you are going with the project.
Rd, I'm not jumping you, just giving my opinion on the guy you posted about and long rifle.
