[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 3029531, member: 24284"] I'd take it that glock24 would want something close to a competent, adult looking job when he's done, not something that looks like a 12 yr old did it! Done with a Dremel tool would no where near pass muster in my world, no matter how good you think you are with it.... Been 'smithing on a professional basis for 31yrs. No way would I use a Dremel tool for opening a barrel channel. I have used a 1/4" die grinder with various carbide burrs to get 'close', then 'scrape' my way to finish. It's no wonder there's so much on the 'used' racks in gunshops and in the pawn shops that looks like a 12yr old got turned loose with power tools, and now looks like it. Fast and easy just doesn't 'cut it' when doing stock work, unless ya' don't care what it looks like in the end. [/QUOTE]
