[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 601807, member: 12"] JE At the time of this conversation with me about blueprinting, it was $200 for the above. Now we are down to $100-150? So yes I am opinionated on this type information being thrown out as being realistic with most smiths as something defined 50 different ways. To me a complete action blueprint covers it all, otherwise it is just piece meal work being "marketed" as a complete blueprint. Apply that same philosophy to engine blueprinting and try to sell it. You would be laughed out of town, but for some reason people try to make it acceptable in gunsmithing and it is all marketing. Now if that is all that can be spent, OK and understand you will be back for more later. I am also so glad you superior and economical gunsmith skills are only surpassed by your internet xray problem solving skills. FYI, the first extractor broke on the third shot of factory ammo and the second on less than 30 shots of ammo that was not overpressure. So just because you have not seen it does not mean it does not happen. Also if blueprinted 700s were as good as customs as you say repeatedly, the firing lines at the top matches would be filled with them, but we all know that is not the case for good reasons. As for the rape comment, no I and no one else is paying $400-600 for piecemeal work, but a real complete action blueprint that adds most of the features a custom has will run that and more. But the fact that you do not see bolt face work and extractor replacement, bolt fluting, ext bolt handles, trueing raceways as costing anything, needed and have no benefit when comparing a slightly modified remington to a custom, I can understand your confusion on that. Trust me, the smiths I use are the best and know how to really put a top notch gun together. Anyway that is all part of the discussion and other side of the story from what you advocate. [/QUOTE]
