[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 963255, member: 2736"] Find an old heavy barrel and buy a reamer of the same caliber, and practice on it. it will give you the same "Feel" and you can cut it many times. Practice cutting the tenon, threading, bolt recess cutting and chambering, get the action you want and use it to fit the threads. Also Practice bedding and Inletting, All of these things are very important to building an accurate rifle. You may already know how to do many of these things but I though I would list them anyway. When you finish your first rifle, be sure to remotely test fire it for safety, and examine the brass really close and that will give you an Idea how well you did. When you cut a chamber you should not have to polish it when through, If you have a good reamer and you run it at the correct speed and have the proper cutting fluid it should look honed. Polishing a chamber effects the grip it has on the brass during firing and can load the bolt excessively. Good Luck, And take it slow. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
