[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1945870, member: 20643"] thank you for the compliments guys. every single one looks like that when it leaves the shop. I take and post pics of the inside of every rifle and post those along with the outside pics. Probably only a handful of other builders out there take pics of the inside. My thoughts are anyone can make the outside pretty with a can of paint. But the inside is what matters. I can also send pics to customers of their chambers if they wish. The Haas setup Im using cuts the most beautiful threads and perfect chambers. Pin gauges are used to ensure the back of the chamber isn't oversized and then the chamber, throat and 1" forward is measured to ensure there is zero runout. I can record the timing of each action and its headspace. Then I can time even a fluted barrel and chamber it without the action in hand. That is handy for my fclass customers who don't want to send their actions in during the middle of the shooting season for new barrels to get chambered up. The problem is very few actions time up the same. Ive even seen some Defiance actions that timed up 90 degrees apart. Being able to record the actions timing solves that issue and allows the timing and headspace to be perfect everytime. I have a tool that I made up and sell to other gunsmiths so they can do that as well. The tool is only like $50 per thread size. [/QUOTE]
