[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2441312, member: 54178"] I want a 22" octagonal barrel in[I] 6.5 CM[/I] put on my current 308 Savage 99 lever gun. The gunsmith services I need: 1.) square cut threads cut at breech to insert barrel into receiver (squared threads were a Savage thing on 99 models.) 2.) chambering and head spacing for 6.5 Creedmoor 3.) cut octagonal barrel flats 4.) cuts for front and rear iron sight dovetails on barrel [I]5.) [/I]satin black nitride barrel finish 6.) square ("true") bolt face All this on a 6.5 Bartlein 5R barrel with 1:7.5 right twist The rile will be sent to Weineg to have a custom stock put on. I'm hoping to keep the labor to [B]$800. [/B][I]or no more than $1,000.[/I] Hope I'm not dreaming. This rifle has a remarkably good trigger. I have used NECO fine grit fire lapping paste to evenly mate the rear of the bolt to the receiver with no high spots as were previously existing. This is so the bolt face can be trued properly. Also I'll have Wieneg make a nearly matching stock for my RUGER 96/22 mag. which already has a Green River octagonal barrel. Then I'l have a "big brother & little brother" rifle pair with identical actions and levers because RUGER made the 96/22 series to mimic the 99 action and lever style, complete with brass cocking indicator pin.
