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.

Off to a good start. I'm going to be doing another project when I finally get home!
Very nice! I have 3 Axis build that I've done, and they were all a blast to put together.
Yeah, the Axis barrels are a pain to remove sometimes with all the junk in the threads. Both of my blued rifle had them. I don't recall seeing them on the stainless though.
Looks good. Where did you get your custom bolt? I might need to get one for my axisWhat to do with the refund from my taxes? "Taxes"...tactics...Axis...

Made it myself! And thanks! I've got the thing bedded and scope mounted, so now I have to find some time to get to the range. I also put in a Timney trigger, but I think I'm just going to go with the old, shimmed factory trigger.
