What to do with the refund from my taxes? "Taxes"...tactics...Axis...



Okay, it's not really going to be really tactical, but it should be a fun waste of money. What started as a 30-06 Axis now wears a 26-inch Shilen varmint contour pre-fit barrel in .243 Winchester. I just got the Boyd's Tacticool stock today, which cost me extra because I accidentally ordered the long magazine version from Boyd's and had to cancel it an hour later, d'oh. I opened the barrel channel with a 1-inch rod wrapped with 60-grit sandpaper. There's still quite a bit of work to be done, and I'm still waiting on my scope, but it's looking good so far.

When I pulled the barrel, I too found the fine, steel balls in the threads. Quite odd and annoying.
