[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 814701, member: 17844"] Well in that case your smith is a real dud. In the US you have lots of good gunsmiths but over here the situation is far from ideal. You can count the good gunsmiths on one hand , over here . I thought like you that I could never do it but you can. Now If I can't do a certain job , I buy a new part or I live without it . I have watched quite a few gunsmiths work over the years and to tell you the truth they are not as precision as they have us believe. I once got the huge bull job about how he fitted a barrel all the indicating and deltronic pins and dialling in . However one time I snuk up to his workshop window and did a bit of detective work and guess what . I watched him whack a barrel into a 6 jaw chuck and just start chambering . All the sales talk was total BS. If you actually spend the time to do all the dialling in an indexing a barrel as you would in a 4 jaw you realise that it takes so much time that they would not make enough money doing every barrel that way .
