Thanks DryBean. I'm thrilled with it so far. It's my first Bolt build. There is still quite a bit I would like to do to it, but in good time.

And here are some teasers of the newest member of the collection, Sasha Fierce. She's currently getting trued up and timed at the smith, and waiting on a new tube to really reach out and touch stuff. She'll get a coat of Kryptek as well. Will get some proper pics once she's finished.

nice rifles Winnie!!
well it didnt come out exactly as planed but its close enough this time as ill most likely re-barrel before the start of the next match season in march.
the plan was to have the barrel,action and bolt handle match the scope and the problem is the scope is anodized and it takes 3 colors to match...theres 3 other guys that have this color combo down and wouldnt give up the mix...my guy called vortex then cerakote and figured out the secret(or missing)ingredient is purple....the color now looked VERY close until it came out of the oven and it is very close its just missing the purple tint....next time will be exact.

now any of you shooting a JP tank break(or most breaks)know that the break from the inside of the front chamber to where the break threads onto the barrel is right at 1.250"...the barrels ive had threaded for a break end up with about 3/4s to 1" of thread...after adding a crush washer i end up with about .300 threaded into the break so that leaves almost an 1" from the crown to the inside of that first chamber so the carbon builds up around the crown of the muzzle in the extra threads and after about 4-500 rounds starts to effect accuracy so the break needs to be pulled and cleaned,
so while i had everything apart i had my smith mill the muzzle end of my break off to .300 so the crown would be flush to the first chamber and should eliminate the need to pull the break and clean...or thats my thoughts anyway LOL....
