It's going good. The fml was my reaction after trying to post some pictures of progress from IPad. Which didn't work. New barrel is complete chamber reamed. Will install stock ans scope in the morning. Hopefully fire form some brass and tart playing on Sunday

Sweet build, someday I'll have acquired the skills to do that.

What barrel manufacturer and how long do you finish it at?

its a kreiger barrel and I have it at 27" right now. I may take some more off yet but I really wanted to shoot it.
I am just learning the skill myself. My dad is the one with the skill (all self taught) I have been doing my best to absorb some of his knowledge
