CustomstoxJimmy, my son will tell you (stolen from South Park - the R rated cartoon show) that there are no dumb questions ......... just dumb people. That is becoming more evident here.

craigsterI have a an Argentine made '09 Agentine action stashed for a future project. The fit and finish of it equals any of the DWM's I have seen. As far as hardness goes, I haven't got that far. Maybe if I have a $1000 barrel installed I'll have Viagraized.

jimmyd223 craigster, please remit a money order for 40.00 to jimmyd223 for a new keyboard
It will be deducted off your 1000 barrel

Surely, nobody on this forum would say anything to belittle you. That is, unless you took the first step.

I'm not tough and I haven't met Howard, but I have met Jimmy and I wouldn't care to be on his bad side.
One thing that does bother me a bit is your propensity to talk down to people or with an accusatory tone.

Show me where in this thread that I "suggested" a $1000 barrel job.
Blue,
What you "suggested" was that it would cost $150 to $500 for the barrel and $200 to $500 to have it "reamed" and installed. You deleted it right after I posted. You just clicked the box so that it does not show that you edited your post. That just makes you devious. Guess that goes along with the occupation. That really isnt fair. I do know some honest attorneys, you just don't seem to be one of them.

IdaredHey blue. I'm not very tough either.
Most folks say I'm easy.
Right now you are getting in deeper and deeper, so if it were me I would stop digging.
For others, I do have a $1000 dollar barrel on one of my rifles. It features a quarter rib, swivel eye, and ramp that was milled from a blank and is all in one piece yet except for the hood on the ramp. It is round and not octagon.

I was under the impression that everyone was talking about the $1000 barrel from wisconsin.
You are correct. I did delete some of my post. Not with the intention to be devious though, and if you would have specifically mentioned earlier that my deletion bothered you I would not have been as impolite as I was towards you.
I don't appreciate having my profession attacked. You are dealing with me here, and not my profession. Nevertheless, in looking back on this thread I think I now understand the totality of the circumtances, and I apologize for my rudeness.

ChuckWagonGood grief, Do you get paid by the hour or by the word ? If you don't mind I prefer to take my advice from those who have built a few guns. That is not meant to be offensive as I do appreciate the fact that you did do a net search before you posted the info you found. Don't lawyers have chat rooms where you can discuss theories and social injustice ? If not I have a sister in law who is a barrister and is not married. She does look a bit like big Mortie but She might be just what you need. If not Muzza in the Australian forum can set you up with a sheep named flossy. Just see the "How do we rate " strand
Can we resume the talk about actions now ?

Bill SovernsJust went and counted - I've built 5 rifles on Argentine actions.....the non-DWM kind made in Argentina. Never had a bit of trouble with any of them.

many years ago I worked for a gunsmith for awhile, and I have actually built a few guns and made a couple of stocks.
nothing compared to the level of todays craftsmen, however.
But I will honor your request, delete all of my post from here, and not post in your threads anymore.
Mr. Soverns, I did not say that South American Actions were no good. All I said was that I have owned two of them, had them Rockwell tested by a professional heat treater, and they both tested on the B scale. There are those here who feel that re hardening is not necessary, and thats fine. I am no metalurgist. But if some of the top makers in the country insist on heat treating their actions (David Miller for one) that is good enough for me.
