Hi,
PSA: Well it appears member Houseminers might be nothing more than a forum copy/paste type of guy.
Here are 3 different post of his on snipers hide--along with the exact post from 3 different forums posted under 3 different names and locations.
Sincerely,
Theis

I bought a jgs reamer in late December, they stocked a .375 cheytac. It's got a .100" fb, .4100 neck diameter. It works perfect with the Peterson brass. I bought a set of whidden dies they stock. I had to make a bushing .403". I can seat the cutting edge 400 Lazer and 377 mtac with the sealing band out of the case. I'd think .080 fb would be fine.

I have used the Brownells lapping tool on dozens of uppers and had about a dozen more turned on lathes. What I have found from my experience comparing hand lapped uppers to those I have had trued up on a lathe, is that one way is as good as the other at truing up the face of the receiver. IMO those telling you the hand lapping will hurt you is them trying to sell you their services based more on them wanting to get your money than any real facts or evidence. I’m highly skeptical of their so called evidence. Also, I have seen repeatedly that both hand lapping and lathe truing will almost assure you have sights zero in near the center of their adjustment range but in neither method have I seen even a tiny improvement in accuracy. Granted, I’ve only compared accuracy in a half dozen builds I did before I started lapping. But of those I did accuracy testing both before and after truing, I saw zero change in accuracy.
I also have not seen any longevity increase because I have never worn out any bolt, carrier, barrel extension or anything else with either method of truing. For me, sights zeroing near their center range of adjustment is enough reason alone for me to continue lapping my uppers.

I picked up a Colt 6320 for ~$900 and it shoots like a dream, totally mil-spec, extension stock... I'm not going to do anything to it but shoot it. I put on a Vortex Spitfire 3x last week and really happy with how the gun and scope performed. I had my first shooting outing last week for the year as range opened for Spring/Summer. Given Colt's financial woes, I am not sure I would recommend this firearms for your needs (can you obtain a large and consistent inventory); however, if one can pick up a few on the cheap - well - they are mil-spec so parts should not be a problem.
