[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1253686, member: 4566"] Pretty sure that discussing differing options for the OP to achieve his goals is hardly derailing a thread. You have your opinion and I have mine. I would figure we are both right in many ways. The OP should know however that a 1 to 2 week wait for a smith to do even a simple chamber job is an anomaly in most cases. Also the fact that your smith charges you good prices doesn't affect two things, what the OPs smith will charge and that a Remage or Savage build has no smith charge. Yes most smiths tell us that even custom actions need trued, OF COURSE THEY DO, it's called JOB SECURITY. If I just spent $1k on an action and it's crooked, I am going to handle that with the action maker, not PAY a smith to fix it. If a smith did fix it, I would expect him to bill my action maker not me. Call me crazy here. I am basing my premise that a custom action will be a better piece on a few different things. Mostly by checking the commonly used actions in almost all target disciplines, (few of which will be populated with worked Remmys) and metallurgy and machining. Custom actions usually handle pressure better and just work better. I mean they are CUSTOM after all and have a HAIR more QC and personal attention paid to them. I wasn't trying to explain what a Remage was to you either Mudrunner, the OP asked me not you. I know who you are and have been on this board a day or two myself and have followed many of your posts. Personally I think either one of our viewpoints is a perfectly acceptable way to achieve the same thing, I like to do my own work and pay for PARTS not labor, paying for labor instead of parts works also. All comes down to the OPs preference not yours or mine in the end. [/QUOTE]
