[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2287661, member: 68758"] Nice looking work. I could tell as soon as I looked at it they were chips- you can tell by the bluish discoloration of the metal. For the non-machinists, when you're peeling metal away with a lathe or mill the heat generated in the process is pulled away from the material by the chips- which get discolored (blue) by the extreme heat. I'm sure this is the first and last time that'll happen with the smith- while we all forget "stuff", a bore obstruction is a huge potential problem. Could've potentially resulted in damage to the firearm and personal injury. I run a lightly oiled patch down the bore of every rifle before it gets packed up for shipment back to the customer so I know all's "clear". [/QUOTE]
