I would prefer not to see XXX on my barrel and would have no problem paying for it. I never indicated his reboring work was subpar. Milling a flat and refinishing would have been an intelligent reply. Steelhead this is the second time you replied to a post of mine with an insult. That should be a hint for you.

JES has done a couple for me - Rm 700 and an Interarms Mark X. Never got a chance to shoot the Rem myself, but the Mark X sure does shoot well. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

They gladly complied, and marked (stamped) the caliber on the underside of the shank. Here's a view of the mill cut and caliber marking on the Mark X. Last edited by WiFowler; 11/13/13.

So are you the one who milled your barrel and marked it? If not who did it? Again looks great to me and thanks for the pic

Again looks great to me and thanks for the pic I'd love to take credit for the mill cut and marking, but in fact I had a gentleman (gunsmith) that I've used from time to time do it. It was done all in one setup on a mini-CNC. PM if you'd like names and numbers. Last edited by WiFowler; 11/17/13. I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Job was done in under two weeks and everything looks great to me. I don't have an accuracy report just yet, but just as soon as I can, I will have some initial results to post up. I'd use them again.. Semper Fi

Going to break my Pre64 down and pillar it, got a crack it's had since I've owned it and wanna try to prevent it going any further. It'll probably get another coat of oil once it's all done too. There are a few thin spots in the finish after hunting it the past few years. Doing all that will give me plenty of time to focus on the Newton. If it runs well, it'll pull first string for elk next Fall. Semper Fi
