[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1138241, member: 24284"] Ya',, you're missing the point, Joey. Ever turn the contour on a rifle barrel? I have while in gunsmithing school 23-24 yrs. ago. It's not a task I'll do again on a manual lathe. Too much time involved, and my time costs. Takes the addition of a special made follow rest on a CNC. Any change to the outside of a barrel will have changes to the inside. Relapping is CYA because of those changes. Ask any of the custom barrel makers. [/QUOTE]
