[QUOTE="TMR, post: 182865, member: 5819"] After reading AJ's thread on barrel timing....I am curious as to the different methods the smiths on this forum use for dialing in a barrel. Seems like there are basically 3 schools of thought, with a little variation thrown in here and there: 1: Indicate the muzzle and the chamber end 2: Indicate the chamber end only and time the barrel with the "curve" up 3: Use a floating reamer holder and let the pilot due the work.. And then the subject of Preboring or just sending the reamer in relying on the pilot to keep it on track. Lots of different methods, just curious to what you guys use. [/QUOTE]
