[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1688264, member: 8873"] Buddy of mine had a new prefit Shilen .300 RUM spun up for his Savage and brought it to me to install. He did not have them thread it for a brake, and upon delivery took it to a local gunsmith (never heard of the fella, but what do I know) to be threaded. That fella talked him into paying him to hand lap the throat. I told him I’d never heard of anyone doing this to a new custom and asked him why would anyone need a hand lapped barrel’s throat to be re-lapped. My buddy isn’t experienced at all with rifles and this is his first build, I obviously do not know everything about the shrimping business...but this seems odd to me. My instinct was he wasted $75 and possibly a portion of the already short barrel (throat) life. If I’m wrong then please set me straight! [/QUOTE]
