[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 228554, member: 7194"] As many who visit this section know (because of all the stupid questions I have been asking)I have been preparing and planning to build guns for myself. I finally got all the pieces parts together for a build and finally got all of my tooling together. I started with a Savage 12 action, a pac-nor barrel blank and a used mcmillan stock and here is what I ended up with...a long throated 308 with no barrel nut. I guess I got lucky because I cut the best looking threads and chamber that I have ever cut on this one. I am guessing that the 6ppc reamer I have been practicing with is dull, as my chambers were not very pretty. Headspacing may be just a tad tight as I can feel the go gauge when it is in the chamber but the bolt closes easily. When you add a piece of tape on the gauge forget about it. Every piece of this gun from the scope on down was bought on classifieds from various shooting forums or ebay. Now I just have to see how she shoots. I started break in yesterday and got 3 rounds down range....havent got on paper yet so I do not have any clue how she is going to shoot. Many thanks to those who have helped me out with information. Now it is on to a 300RUM as soon as I find a barrrel:) [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/eddybo69/IMAGE_00064.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
