[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1446825, member: 2736"] I did not know that "all" buttoned rifles were not double stress relieved. the billet comes from the mill stress relieved and then after the barrel is drilled and rifled, it receives another stress relief then it is lapped. It is standard procedure for most to stress relieve after the buttoning process to remove these stresses. This normally adds 2 weeks to the delivery but is worth the wait. Cut rifling does not require the second stress relieve, but sometimes the billet may not be fully stress relieve and the second stress relief assures that it is correct. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
