[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2570842, member: 17722"] Thank you for asking about the weight. I almost forgot to weigh all the components. Here you go, should be close to it, give and take oz+, when you consider metal taken out when lopping off 1 inch from the belled out muzzle, chambering, then add the bedding compound. Mike has been great to me. He gave me lessons when he trued up one of my 700 LAs before the pandemic. We arrived at his shop after lunch, he worked on it till dark, stopping to explan the hows and the whys; from facing off the receiver, chasing the threads, facing off the lug abutments, squaring the bolt face and lugs. The education included the set up, special tooling, and lathe set ups All that stoppage extended the completion. The plan on this 300WM is start first thing in the morning; chamber, thread muzzle for brake, then bed. Cure bedding overnight. Clean up and assemble 24 hours later. Time permitting we may hit the range and test with FGMM 190s. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220709_171629.jpg"]377838[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
