[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1446837, member: 27307"] Agree or disagree as you wish. Go ahead and put your money into a button rifle blank which claims to be 'double stress relieved' and then contour on your equipment but record the starting dimensions accurately as well as the interior curvature form from breech to muzzle. Most gunsmiths aren't equipped to do this which is why you see so few incidents of rejected re-contouring. The new technologies applied to the older manufacturing techniques often open a lot of eyes to what really takes place. Measured accurately and recorded then contoured, then remeasured, you will discover that there will always be a shift from the original shape with button rifled barrels. I don't offer this as an opinion but from someone who has made barrels for a living and has tested nearly every makers offerings with regard to their claims. Do as you see fit. Enjoy the process!
