[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1843913, member: 112413"] Wow didn't know if you could quote from your own posts, I will amend my statement slightly we must be totally honest. McGowen sent me a match barrel with the throat so long I couldn't begin to set the bullet out far enough. The crown was also pretty rough, I did what anyone would do in this case as I'm not equipped to deal with either problem. I had my gunsmith rechamber and recrown it, brand new match barrel. Wasn't impressed, but my friend and gunsmith made it right and gave me back a barrel I could work with, he also is who taught me to headspace my own barrels. So buying from that company didn't result in a smooth ride for sure, but it didn't change who installed and headspaced it. Smith tells me he'd rather me do my own headspacing as I'm too much of a perfectionist and he'd have to charge me double :) [/QUOTE]
