[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1105117, member: 38494"] wildcater, for years I was an NRA Bullseye and NSSA skeet shooter. I had two Colt 45s built by a smith at the Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, GA a set of fitted tubes for my shotgun by Kolar and a a 9mm and 45 built by the Smith and Wesson Performance Center. In those instances you can readily see the work that was completed. For example, new barrel, fitting bushing, frame tightening against the rails, polished ramp and trigger work. And going to a mechanical trigger in a shotgun is easy to test. Matter of fact the bushing by Smith and Wesson was so tight the barrel would go in only one way. And the results were equally observable. Going from 4 inch groups at 50 yards to about 2 with the right load combination. In the handguns a test target was provided showing the firearms potential. As my eyes got to the point were some days you could see the front site just fine and other days there would be two I started to shoot more rifle than previously. So I have less experience. In this project it is a little more difficult to see work other than gee, a new barrel. To be honest when I received the rifle back I borrowed a lead sled from a friend and went to range early when no one was aroujnd, placed the rifle in the sled, chambered a round and then hid underneath the bench and pulled the trigger with a rigged coat hanger just to make sure no explosion. While a little frustrating it is not an insurmountable problem. [/QUOTE]
