[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1790535, member: 24284"] The barrel makers can be quit protective of the actual process they use, and I can not blame them 1 bit! It has taken each of them serious $$$ to get to where they are at, plus the countless hours no doubt involved, too. I can be that way, myself. I have spent my life machining, mostly in job shops. I paid my own way through gunsmith school ( a full 2 yrs, yr 'round, audited 2 more semesters, have taken 3 more NRA Summer classes since). Gunsmith school requires supplying all of your own components. Actions, barrels, stock blanks, tools like files, screw drivers, hammers, punches & gouges & chisels just to name a few of the 'extra' expenses beyond tuition. Just "giving away' what has taken many $$$ and a life time of learning and experience often goes against my 'grain', so I understand where the barrel makers are coming from. [/QUOTE]
