[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1141707, member: 39764"] I am as well (retired) though I do manage a couple employees (sort of). I trust my employees to be qualified enough to turn out work that is accurate and dimensionally correct to a customers specification. You don't hire someone off the street with no experience and expect them to hold a tolerance specification. Don't work that way. Experience and skill comes with a price, like everything else in the trades. When I see a stick with ground threads on the barrel blank and internal ground threads in the receiver (barring the tolerance the barrel maker held the rifling to), I might buy 0.0001. Until then, no way. To accurately measure a tenth repeatedly, requires coordinate measuring equipment and / or comparative measurement, neither are available to an average smith because it's cost prohibitive and certainly not attainable in an average shop. Furthermore, I can make just about any stick shoot sub moa on the bench through careful loading practices... In real life, I'm not that good....lol Glad most animals have a kill zone larger than a paper target at 200 yards.....:D [/QUOTE]
