[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 103110"] Bart I was building a 300 Tomahawk for a buddy. He ordered the barrel himself from Lilja. He neglected to tell them to turn between centers after drilling the 34 in hole. When it got here the muzzle end was off by over .125 thou. When I called Lilja about it they said he should have asked for them to turn it between centers. I assumed my buddy whould have understood that but I made an *** out of myself. The person whom I talked to at Lilja (I cannto remember the name) told me that drilling a hole 34 inches deep and being on center on both ends was near to impossible. If you dont (Lilja) request that your barrel be turned from a 1.35 or 1.45 dia blank (cant remember what they said to request but it was larger than 1.25 dia) then on a 34 in barrel youre more than likly going to have a huge difference from muzzle to breach concentricity issue. Needless to say they replaced the barrel with a new one for his mistake and turned the new one between centers. That is more than I can say for Pacnor which sent me a rockwell hardness tested barrel of 23 and claimed it was 28 but then said they hold it at 28 plus or minus 5 rc points. Thats another story I am not just over yet and still a bit peeved. Dave [/QUOTE]
