[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1790159, member: 29632"] I have to say the rifle I just did, my first ever, I would be terribly embarrassed to let any of you guys see the threads. They are rough and loose, enough that it had me considering just chopping it off and starting over. I picked up a little chatter on my second to last pass and instead of trying to clean it up with a file, i just tried to cut through it, but it was too deep and i just botched the whole job...but i decided to go with it to see, and surprisingly enough it shot just as good as any rifle i own, and with factory ammo. While i know that is not the precision you all are after, it is sub moa so far and was a great learning experience for me. [/QUOTE]
