[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 678359, member: 43153"] Seriously, YOU'RE telling ME that?? After spending dozens upon dozens of hours over the last few weeks (and add to that the 4 months that I waited, on the standard shank savage barrel that never was to be) on finding the action that I now needed, with SQUAT to show for it - never even got past square 1 - NOBODY could possibly know that more than I know it right now! You know, I at least USED to think I loved 'em, as well. But with my brains about feeling like scrambled eggs right now, I barely can think. Hold on a sec - I really (seriously) do need to go pour myself one (well, maybe 2), and toss it back! The reason I won't do it has to do with the heat treatment (tempering) that the steel undergoes at the factory to make it stronger. An opened up action will be weaker, unless it undergoes the same treatment as the factory ones, AFTER it is opened up. Oh, and according to what I now believe, you won't have the opportunity to pass on 2 rums again. Hey, wait a minute. I'm seeing that somebody has sent me a PM. I gotta go... [/QUOTE]
