so i went with a LILJA MK13 MOD 7 bbl blank
this is 1.25 dia, BREECH can finish at 26" at .8" MUZZLE, but i will be doing 24".
basically in stock should be here soon.
if i can find a min spec 308 reamer i will use that then use my 30 cal throater for 185 gr 2.82 COAL.

so the bbl shipped TODAY. will be here wednesday.
so much for waiting for a bbl to show up.

What degree is your throater Mike? When I was setting up my chamber for the 185 Chad Dixon offered advice that I feel took it to another level of accuracy. I'm interested in your approach as my COAL was longer than 2.820.

the throater is 1.5 degree. i may not need it if i use a "palma match reamer" only time will tell.

The Palma and a 1 degree throat is how mine was done. I don't know if the 1 degree delta difference has an impact or not.

there has been a ton of real world testing done with bench rest quality shooters and rifles, and essentialy everyone is still shooting 1.5

so the "rifle" showed up today. stock, action, trigger, recoil lug and bbl nut.
this will not be a nut bbl,,,so that is excess,,,ss finish.
the previous owner was shooting some sort of competition and the action has been bedded to the alum chassis/stock.
an excellent job but i will have to remove all ahead of the recoil lug. my bbl is a little larger in dia.
but the stock is much better than the 10 cabelas special that had an alum channel in it..much stiffer
now the ACTION. a nice heavy beast with a wasted poorly fitted bolt...flops all over the place.


SO BIG QUESTION..
has anyone sent an action out to be sbn coated ?( several names for the process)( sbn, qpq,melonite, nitriding
i would like to do the bbl bolt head and action.
concerned about the heat, but bbls are done all the time.
anyone ??
thanks
