[QUOTE="338hammer, post: 184806, member: 10182"] I went into the break opens and Savage strikers because of the economics. Being a machinist helped save me a lot of money over the years. I also very much enjoy creating something with my own hands. Having mills, lathes and precision measuring equipment was a small investment compared to the expense of reamers, go/no go gauges,. I think this is a wonderful idea and strongly encorage you to stand beside a gunsmith and watch a few times and maybe he will be kind enough to watch over you on your first project. If you are off either short or in particular long by the thickness of two sheets of notebook paper you will be very unhappy. One reamer costs as much as what a normal smith will charge to do the work correctly. Providing you have all the components. Scott@ savagegunsmithing.com ; mcgowenbarrel.com come to mind as good ole boys with a reputation for precision without paying the price for a famous name. Turn around for one is 90 days and the other a few weeks. There are some increible smiths on this site as well. 338 [/QUOTE]
