[QUOTE="TMR, post: 193566, member: 5819"] DUH, We are running 3.81" OAL. My measurement on the comparator is 3.069". I haven't tried the 3.77" length most people use. We just loaded them to mag. length. It looks like we are about .030" off the lands. I have seen your posts about your rifle, I wouldn't touch it. It seems to shoot just fine. Capt Academy, It took a weekend to do the machine work (chamber, thread, true action). A day of sandblasting and coating. Then a week of 3hours a night painting the stocks. It probably could have gone much faster, but I have a full time job that is usually around 65hrs a week. The stocks require alot of patience. There is around 6 hours of taping and painting per stock. Kinda goes like this....paint a base and let dry overnight, tape first pattern (about 3 hours) paint 2nd color ( 10 mins) and let dry overnight, tape off accents(2 hrs) spray accent color and let dry overnight. Clear the entire stock and let dry overnight. I have found that after about 2 weeks, Duracoat is fully cured and is almost impossible to remove. Just try not to get any solvent on it during the first couple of weeks. [/QUOTE]
