Prove it Duikerman, show me where I am wrong.

And for you tiggertate, the usage of the word "bubba" is a term coined by many, including your own group to reference among other things, those who tend to butcher guns. Someone who would knowingly glue a bushing on a smooth cylinder surface and then thread it to to fit a high power firearm is a "Bubba". He may not be one of your bubba's, but a bubba he is none the less.

What's the diveboss PM reference???

I don't have a dog in this fight. I just want to know where Pat's friend can find a $300 Remington action in Midway and where can you get a $60 barrel in 6.5x284 ready to screw on? $60 will fill my Duramax diesel.
Butch

Butch,

Try page 700 (boy is that a coincidence) in Midawy’s dealer catalog for the action. Actually I lied, it’s only $299.99!

And Page 454 of the same catalog shows A&B barrel blanks for $68.99. Sorry, I was $8.99 off on that, but you owe me a penny on the action so it’s only $8.98 cents off, and I guess what I meant to say was that a new barrel blank could be threaded and chambered to fit the action he already had. Sorry, my error for not stating it that way.

My point was that there were other, not to mention safer, ways to accomplish getting an action barreled other than what was done.

Hey Tiggertate, is this the PM exchange you were referring to? Yeah I can see where I was a real prick...

Well, sort of. I made a tongue-in-cheek comment about scuba divers being "bubble blowers" (reference point being my years as a commercial diver using hard-hat gear).

"Dive boss" and I had a lively (and friendly) discussion of the relative degrees of testosterone required for each. It was private email\... were you the one?

That would have been me and I vaguely remember an exchange somewhat like that. Sooo, are you doing any diving for fun or otherwise?

Good to talk to you.

Malm

Merry Christmas to you too, you malm. As I said later, I over reacted to your shot at bubbas and tried to pull that comment but lightening-fingered fyj relpied while I was deleting it.

It was the earlier "lively" PM you sent a year or two before that one that was the reference souce. You took me to task for a comment about scuba divers that wasn't directed at you.

Merry Christmas to you guys.

My buddy has been rescued from the pits of gunsmithing Hades.. You good people, and your varied responses caused him serious reconsideration of his methodology. A couple of sleepless nights were thrown in as well!

The sleeve threaded peashooter was never fired. He did give the finished weapon more than a casual glance after viewing this thread.
Ultimately, good thinking prevailed and he cut the tenon off and started over. He now has a 6.5x284 chambered in a most conventional and boring manner.. So, no unexpected excitment, no impending doom from his quarters, just a measley little kaboom..... Now we all must seek refuge back in our knarly shells until the next untimely version of "Gunsmiths (or is that Bubbas, lol) gone wild." I can hardly wait !!

Thanks all..
Pat

Pat,

Your friend obviously has some very good machining skills so I’m sure his re-do will be something that will work fine for him, and he won’t have to always be wondering when and if its going to come apart on him.
