[QUOTE="Brewer, post: 1042914, member: 71923"] I think in theory, tapping is at least as good as cutting. especially if you consider how match grade rifle barrels are chambered, or if you break the insert or get locked in too early or late. with a tap, not much room for human error. tapping is more expensive because you have to have all the taps but if you use your tail stock to hold your tap, it can go nowhere but dead (+/-.0001) center. better yet, if you use your floating reamer holder, you are even better off. again, I don't think it matters what method you use because it has more to do with the guy running the machine than what we are talking about. and I am sure they way you do this is more than adequate for your customers. I would have no reservations to taking a rifle to you to have it ported [/QUOTE]
