Is that tool insert for aluminum and sharp ? Have you or anyone tried using a insert like this to turn down a varmint weight barrel to a sporter contour ?

Is there a reason the first threads on the action or muzzle devices can't be beveled alittle to make room for the small radius on the barrel shoulder ?
Some actions have the threads releaved at the face of the action as do some muzzle devices I've seen. Less chance of the threads getting damaged...

Thanks for sharing your information on what it takes for a cutting edge rifle. A lot of great information.
Could you go into lapping a barrel a little more, what grit, the length and how hard the lap,how long ect
Thanks for sharing.

As mentioned on the "bolt lift" thread action polishing deserves it own thread.
What are some of the steps and what grit of sand paper and polishes are used ?
This should be a good winter topic.
