Got a call from MRI this morning. Great news:
[MRI]Uh, Jesse, uh, you created a slight barrel bulge when you tried to extract the broken ERH screw. It will require a new barrel. [I interjected here] Oh yeah? Hm. Uh, how much are we talking about, and what about the quad porting? [He replied] 150 dollars and the porting is on the discarded barrel. . . [Me] Okay, well, great.Send me the old barrel and put on the new one. I'll try to scrape together the 150 dollars.
My fault; now I'll pay for it.
No working gunsmiths that I can find in the area, so a buddy sends me the bit and an Easy Out but doesn't factor in my ineptitude and all around stupidity. Now I gotta pay. You'd think by now I'd have realized that all I ever do is tear stuff up when I try to fix it. . . My favorite handgun, too. BFR in 500 mag.
Nothing much to do with casting but I mostly post in here.
