[QUOTE="Vantastic, post: 447134, member: 28922"] Its my first post, but I wanted to show off my improved boom stick. I had the special liberty to spending the day with an expert a few days ago. Chad Dixon of LongRifles, Inc. replaced my Remingtion 700 Police barrel. The only reason I replaced the barrel was because I wanted a 1/10 twist instead of the factory 1/12 twist, but I was able to get about 1700 rounds through the barrel before removing it. First let me say, Chad is a "Professional" by all means. He isn't that typical ego Gunsmith who takes your money and asks you leave and you'll get it when I'm done. These photos don't do the workmanship justice by all means. He really takes his time measuring twice making sure every cut is where he wants it. It really was a joy spending time watching the process. [IMG]http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp184/haroldvan/DSC04261.jpg[/IMG] The barrel is a Lilja 30 caliber finished around 26 inches. 1/10 twist rate. Chambered in 308 Winchester. [IMG]http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp184/haroldvan/DSC04259.jpg[/IMG] LongRifles, Inc. logo neatly and modestly placed.
