[QUOTE="D-mon, post: 1838033, member: 1523"] Hi. I started 20 years ago by reading books and accurizing hunting rifles by bedding them, recrowning them , cleaning them and properly mounting scopes with no tensions in the mounts. I then had a chance of doing a lathe and milling evening course at a local polytech college for 4 consecutive years. Once the mandatory projects were done they let me bring in second hand scrap barrels on which I could practice recrowning and threading . Fitting muzzle brakes and learning to time them properly is a very good exercise. I got my first chambering reamer 15years ago, a 308 Winchester and started fitting recycled barrels to my rifles. Once I got satisfied with the results I started to play with new barrels and more fancy calibres. My advice is to acquire easy second hand rifles to work on like savages and start doing proper bedding in wood stocks. ( Boyd stocks are very affordable). That will be a good start. [/QUOTE]
