[QUOTE="rifletuner, post: 23128, member: 26"] Denny I ordered the stock about 18 months back, so I dont know how indicative my wait would be, given circumstances at McMillan may well have changed since then, but I waited about 2-3 months for the stock, not including a week or two for it to ship to Australia. The barrel block was made by my gunsmith from chrome molley steal he sourced from an automotive supplier who caters to the racing trade. The block is 9.3/4" long and 2" wide. My smith uses a similar process to the way I understand Bruce Baer blocks barrels, that is to epoxy so as to eliminate all stresses on the barrel. To remove the barrel from the block, use heat - the same as removing a BR action from a "glue in" stock. Fergus [/QUOTE]
