[QUOTE="70oldsracer, post: 1797934, member: 95943"] I totally get the high dollar price tag for barrel fitting. There are a lot of costs involved, machines, tooling, labor, rent, electric, etc. If you're doing this for a living, all these variables have to be taken into account and I definitely get that. Like I mentioned earlier, this is just a hobby for me, so maybe I spent more money in time and tooling then it would have cost me to send the barrel out to have it done, but it's a way for me to learn. Okay, back to the barrel, Like Shortgrass said, all anyone here can do is speculate as to what the actual issue is without having the barrel in your possession to actually examine it. Wilson has the barrel and has inspected it, but hasn't really elaborated as to why the rifle was all over the place. Taking the muzzle out of the equation (because I know it wasn't like this when I shot it) How does the throat not being cut correctly effect the accuracy of the barrel. I'm not asking this to be a wise guy, I'm asking for a real explanation. Also, how would the throat get cut wrong? Wilson suggested they can try to cut the bullet seat, but they can not say this would make the barrel shoot, especially if they can’t cut the throat. What is the difference of the bullet seat and the throat? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
