[QUOTE="timmay, post: 577996, member: 38081"] How many of you guys do your own custom builds without a lathe? Ive never built a precision rifle and would love to do it myself just for the pride (saving a bunch of money would also be nice) Everything seems pretty simple if you get the barrel pre threaded and chambered. I think the most critical part is the finish chambering/headspacing but Ive seen plenty guys use hand reaming tools for this along with headspace gauges. Is it possible to build your own rifle chambered for say the 338 Snipetac or Allen Mag? Stiller 408 action Lilja or Brux 32" barrel pre threaded/chambered .338 Manners or Mcmillan stock (bedding the stock for the action is easy) I know I can buy dies from Kirby or black diamond for the 338/408 So can this be done or am I living in a dream world? If so, could I send Kirby a 408 action and have him just send it back to me as a barreled action and then do the easy stuff myself? [/QUOTE]
