[QUOTE="target1shooter, post: 468172, member: 30728"] Coyboy, Tomestone, and Anyone else, I already gained from this forum, I just made a call to a local Gunsmith that appears to have a decent size following, "Gun Works of CNY" They seem to get business from all around the north east territory. ANYWAY, Here is what I received from my talks with him. I am seriously considering, but need your expert assistance. He states he can cut one thread off, approx. .062 and rechamber the barrel with a minium tolerance ream. That he states will allow me to spec my brass and proper set my bullet with the proper jump space. he will also lap the lugs and square the bolt face. That operation will cost $185.00 plus a $50 rental of the ream. He also stated that the work he does is a waste of my money and time if the Barrel is not good.
