[QUOTE="Old Cat, post: 2743166, member: 121591"] I know of multiple people getting fine results from their blanks. With that said, I would not let them thread and chamber another barrel for me. I ordered a prefit that wouldn’t drop on GO, no big deal. I sent my action and barrel to them because the timing was off also and the said they would fix both issues, again no big deal. Second go around was an issue. It dropped on NO-GO after they “fixed” it. I thought I had possibly dropped my gauge and it was damaged, so I drove to a gunsmiths shop a few towns over to have it double checked before I called them. One of smiths came out from the back after examining it and told me he had good news and bad news, “good news, my gauge was fine. bad news, it was UNSAFE to fire.” Nice! The owner asked me to look at barrel after he heard what his smith said. He directed a flash light to the chamber and showed me deep scaring from not cleaning the reamer when they over-bumped it, and the muzzle threads had been dinged. The long and short of it, the barrel came back in a UNSAFE/worse condition after all their “repair” work. It appears my story is not unique, they seem to be having some serious challenges w their threading and chambering services. I won’t get into the response from and my exchanges with Dan, his issues, they are also a serious challenge for them, as ordering blanks would bypass that mess altogether. [/QUOTE]
