[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 897964, member: 24284"] I don't do mine like the guy on e-bay, and he works alot cheaper than I do. There's a "pile" of hand work in mine. The tear drop is machined but all the thinning of the handle is done with files, then buffed on a buffer where it can be reached and polished by hand where it can't. Hand work, much more needs to be done to make a nice bolt handle or to make a rifle feed properly than most, who visit these forums, seem to think. Seems the prevelent notion is that everything is machined 'quickly'. Not looking for any work as I'm going in for back surgery in January. [/QUOTE]
