Nice rifles! Who is going to be doing the work?

**Just Duke** · 03-28-2008, 08:30 PM

I have several options. I just don't want to part with them for two to for months though.
Nothing takes 2 to 4 months. One of my engineering buddies used to build MX missiles in less time. I have had bad luck with just about every gunsmith I have run into and had to sell off most everything I have ever had work done on. (with the exception of Derick Martin at Rio Salado gun range)
<frustration mode off>

I have them ready to be shipped. I just have to work up the nerve to send off $1600.00 worth the guns.

I'm real curious to see the after pics, I just picked up the exact same gun last month, not that I have any urge to change it right now.

I honestly don't know, haven't been up that way yet this year and I haven't heard anything.

Them is nice Duke.

I got one last year. It is my most favoritist.

**Just Duke** · 04-07-2008, 11:36 PM

I took the rifles to the range and test fired them before sending them off. The recoil was not what I exspected. It was very manageable even with the box stock 405 grain rounds.

MY MOULD FROM NEI CAME TODAY!!! They look great.

**Just Duke** · 04-09-2008, 08:48 AM

Here is the 45-70 mould. These run 485 grains GC.
