[QUOTE="ImBillT, post: 3053144, member: 117715"] Because manufacturers making thousands of times more rifles per year than a good gunsmith could ever turn out, and selling them for less than the price of a cut rifled barrel, cannot continue to do so if the tolerances are tightened up. The same holds for brass companies selling brass for 1/2 the price of Lapua or less, which is barely more than the cost of the raw materials. In a bolt action with strong camming action it's a minor problem that rarely occurs. There are budget buyers, and there are quality buyers. If you don't like the fit of brass in your chamber, change manufacturers of your firearm or brass. Nothing about SAAMI specs is prevent Geissele, Cooper, Kimber, or even Mossberg from making a quality product. SAAMI tolerances are a bare minimum. If someone is turning out a product that you’re displeased with, then don’t buy it. [/QUOTE]
