[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 856262, member: 12995"] I would have a talk with your smith, and ask him all the same questions till you feel comfortable. It's nothing to be nervous about, unless your not comfortable with your smith. Iin which case, I'd find another smith. There's a select few people I'll let touch my guns, and my smith is one of them, I trust him completely, and he does what I ask for my rifles, and rarely tries to talk me out of an idea, unless he knows it's not a good idea. He's been around a LONG time, so if he says he wouldn't do it and explains why he wouldn't do it, then I know it's not a good idea, or worth the extra money it would cost to do it. As for barrels.....My smith once told me, "It's not about who built the barrel...It's about who's doing the work..." And I can believe that, because he's built me rifles with trued factory barrels that would shoot 1 hole groups @ 100 yards. So, his theory about the smith's work is more important than the barrel brand, holds true in my experience. You can go with a Douglas, Shilen, Krieger, Mike Rock (Rock Creek), Obermeyer, Brux, Braughton, Muller, or whoever, but the gun will only be as accurate as the smith builds it to be. [/QUOTE]
