[QUOTE="brittf, post: 2409437, member: 121792"] Whoops, didn't answer your question. Sensei figures that, since I have a decent machine shop and claim to be a competent hobby machinist, I should be able to chamber my own darn barrels :) He taught me his method of chambering on my 6-Dasher, so for the .308 F/TR and the 7mm Mega, I am on my own. I have built the lathe spider and purchased the floating reamer holder and the long-indicator to dial in the bore. He sent me a bunch of barrel cut-offs to practice on. This past weekend, we just bedded the 6-Dasher barreled action (Bat-M action, Bartlein SS barrel, Cerus F-Class stock). Wow, I had NO IDEA how much work it is to properly bed an action!!! Will at Cerus said the F-Class stock was 'partially inlet for a Remington Long Action' so I figured it was mostly just mix up some epoxy, bed the sucker, and be done. Boy was I wrong! Sensei did make fun of me for how cautious I was in machining wood, but I figured I couldn't chance messing up an $1800 stock, especially when a replacement would take 18 months (Will is WAY backordered). We spent two full days machining the stock, making and installing his carbon fiber reinforcement pieces, bedding the stock, making the cheek riser (boy, does Sensei HATE adjustable cheek risers), machining the stock for a RAD, machining and installing the RAD, etc... So, it would be fun to compare notes with you and learn from an expert. [/QUOTE]
