[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 403753, member: 2215"] Everything you stated sound pretty legit. I prefer to use a Holland recoil lug rather than regrind the factory one, not necessarily due to the thickness but to the larger surface area when bedding and the draft angle make it much nicer for removal. Indexing the flutes to the top does take a little extra time and care but to me that's part of chambering a barrel with flutes. There is extra tooling and time to custom throat to a supplied dummy round as long as the reamer they have has a shorter throat than what you want it can be throated out to match. If their reamer has a longer throat then they would have to get another reamer or have the throat ground back on the one they have, adding cost to them. It's a matter of cutting and test fitting but that's part of the job. Everything you mentioned that they are doing sounds about right. I may have to re-think my prices after hearing they charge $50 extra for some of the "customizing" though. [/QUOTE]
