Crazymonkey Report post Posted June 8, 2023 You've been in a machine shop ( your time at adm ) and seen the quality of some of the people that call themselves skilled in the trade. A good gunsmith or machine operator with the skills needed is getting harder to find . So quality work is expensive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, I brought a gun to accuracy speaks to get threaded a while back and will not do that again. Functional, ehhh, but not pretty at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted June 10, 2023 I just used Magnum Mike’s for threading and a brake on two rifles, beautiful work! Barrel looks like the brake is part of it, you can’t even see the seam if you try. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
