WHY would anyone put that amount of money into building a rifle and NOT true up the action????????????????:confused:
Let me guess you are also the same guy that would put bias ply recapped tires on your Ferrari:eek:

I was there at the range and watched GB shot those very impressive groups.
The groups that rifle shoot, I don't think the action needs to be trued at all. I agree, it is a waste of money in this case.

Navy Shooter had over 7,000 rds. on his factory Rem. .308 Win. barrel before he went with a Mike Rock 5R. He regularly shoots competitions with NSRA with his rig.

From the sounds of it, you're a long way off before considering replacing the barrel. You'll no doubt grow bored of shooting .308 Win. and chamber it for something else before wear becomes an issue.

Gunboy: Are you joking about putting a caliber designation on the barrel? Only a retard wouldn't put the caliber on the barrel.

He was not talking about ATR putting the cal. designation on the barrel.
He was saying that ATR wanted to CHARGE the guy a fee to put their name on the barrel. That was what the guy at the shooting range told him and I was there that day and heard that also. What GB implies was that ATR charged their customers to advertise their name and it should the other way around.

Correction. ATR wanted to charge that guy a fee to advertise their name on his barrel.
 
Mightyhunter: check post #37 again.

"The last time I saw the Registration Certificate, there was no Caliber mention on there, so why would you need to put caliber on the barrel?,"

What you say may be what was discussed but his post says that since Reg Cert don't have a calibre why should the barrel. That is just plain retarded - Gov't Reg Cert means nothing in relation to safety.

Someone has a severe misunderstanding here.
Every rifle I rebarrel gets the data info either laser, or CNC cut engraving.
I DO also on the opposite side of the caliber data info engrave our company name, PROVIDING that the client has no opposition to this.
The engraving is 1 small part of the cost of the rebarrelling, just as blueprinting the action is part of the cost of rebarrelling as well, not additional. I do not just screw in a barrel and hope the action is true.

Most of the high end gun makers have their name on the rifles as well.
Part of the reason for this is to have 100% certainty that the work was done here, and part of it is to show that the rifles produced here DO shoot, if I was not proud of my work I would not likely want anyone to know who did it.
With our reputation for extremely accurate rifles we have encountered a few individuals claiming that the rifles they were selling were ours. Without our name on it , it is pretty easy to tell it was not built here.
To date only 1 client has asked us not to put our name on his rifle in a visible area, which needless to say was complied with.
Just to clarify again there is NO additional charge for engraving, data stamps MUST be put on the barrel, I just don't believe in hammering a custom barrel with steel stamps. Engraving looks better and offers zero chance of damage to the steel.

The last time I saw the Registration Certificate, there was no Caliber mention on there, so why would you need to put caliber on the barrel?, I am not bad mouthing you, but from Conversation with several people, the word I heard was OVER PRICE, but if some one wanted your work, I think that ok, if they wanted to pay, but I stick with what work, Oh by the way, I heard you new nick name was is STOCK POLICE!

As usual I am having a hard time understanding your gibberish, but I think I get the gist, that you were out bad mouthing me again at the range.

I do not put my signature on my work, but maybe I should, it did wonders for Picasso. We do NOT charge ANYONE for the laser or CNC cut engraving that we use to mark calibers on our barrels it is all part of the job. Marking of calibers on rifle barrels, by the way, is mandatory for gun makers.

I think you have no problem understanding, from what you wrote sound like you just piss right off, but that what I heard, That is Exactly what the guy said, now I am not going to point finger or Posting name like you do, but I am sure there are several People at the range that Sunday heard that person Comment about you, and now he is shopping some where else.
 
My Appology man, I din't mean to, but every time I posted some thing, the guy got on my back right away.
 
I checked my .308 from Ultimate Accuracy - I guess it isn't too uncommon to see a gunsmith's name on the work. BTW, he also put the neck size on my barrel so that you know what bushing to order for your dies!

You miss Under stood my word totally, after you spend around $400-$500 for the work, the caliber Engraving should come with it, instead you have to pay extra, now this is what I heard from the other fellow, and at no time he mention any thing about Truing the action, I din't true my action, and it shoot to a hold around the 30 caliber size.

Have you tried it out at 800m yet?

You will likely see a difference in performance at long range between a trued and untrued factory action.

If you never shoot out there, you can enjoy your tack driver as is.

As for DM systems, my buddy and I just won the CF sniper competition and never loaded a round in a mag. Food for thought.

Welcome to the sport.

Why doesn't a mod toss #####'s#####? All he ever does is hijack with BS and attempt to discredit a dealer. A lot of readers are sick of it.

50calshooter, nice rifle. The 10 rounder looks cool but I wouldn't actually use it when shooting target.
 
No offense to anyone but I'm just tired to death of same few people having a war on every single thread I read. The quality of reading on here is being brought way down. I don't understand why the moderator's aren't finishing this with the people that are doing it permanently. I'm to the point of not even continuing with a topic if I see the same people coming on here because I know what is going to happen. I came here to read about firearm stuff and not people attacking each other and even business men for crying out loud. Just look at yourselves. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's being bothered. Enough's enough.
