Re: Another build thread.

Paint work is a local vendor that I work with. Someone I've been in cahoots with now for several years.

Great guy!

Thanks.

Good equipment certainly makes life easier when trying to do a good job.

I should've played closer attention on here but recently in the past 2 years I started to notice Chad's post's! What a regretfull oversight on my part!! One of the most understated talents on here. Spoke w/ him once; and impressed me even more then pix of his masterpieces. His creds are very impressive and a great guy to boot. I am going to have to give him a try!

I sent my Nesika to Chad after seeing some of his work here. Looks like a first class operation. Can't wait for this shooting season to start.

You won't be unhappy! Chad is top notch!

These Longrifles Inc. threads were a great way to kill an hour or so. And at the same time make myself (a Mech Eng) feel like a complete idiot! I would love to spend 2 weeks in your shop just watching and learning sir.

Chad is a very nice guy and full of knowledge as well. I have had the pleasure to go to his shop and talk with him, class act all the way.

Damn Chad you sure know how to male us novices/hobbiests feel insecure. Keep up the great work, love the build threads. Glad to see you have become a sponser here. If I were not really great friends with my current smith, and did not do most of my own work......I would have you busy.

You always leave everything clean and sharp looking. Great work.

Very nice work! Thanks for posting your pictures and procedures.

When you install barrels, what procedure do you like to use? I've been experimenting using some aluminum (non-marring) "wrenches" that I made and for now I'm using 80ft-lbs with moly-grease on the sliding surfaces. At least that seems pretty repeatable because I can change out barrels and the zero stays put.

Also, do you ever bed below the barrel, or is the barrel completely free floating from the lug forward?
