Good luck.
The Long Range Beast is done. I'll post pictures when I get home from the gunsmith. I'm leaving now.

It's a little dirty, so lets just clean it right out.

The lower lug had good contact, but the upper lug had (guess-timating) less than 20% engagement area. Hand lapping will help with that. The receiver was less than .0005" off from concentric, so no need to thrown it in a lathe.

A little bit of friction in the bolt was causing a binding in the cocking action. A couple turns with a strop, and all is well.

Time for the barrel install.

Bigger recoil lug on the right, because why not.

I made beef stroganoff for dinner. The last ingredient is always the sour cream (well actually the paprika and parsley go on last). Shit! I was out. But I just happened to have a quart of Greek yogurt - s staple in our house. It was a great substitute I must say. Also we scrapped the egg noodles this time and I went with a wild brown rice as the base. It was a good combination and a healthier option.
Well its nighty nite time for me. I'll be getting up early to do a few chores so I can hit the range when it opens. I'll be tuning out to some coast to coast on youtube. That puts me right to sleep everytime. Nothing like an alien conspiracy to make me fall asleep. Later skanks!
Very nice, Belly....thanks for all the pics of your new rifle.
Goodnight Bogie, have fun shooting tomorrow....I kinda miss Art Bell sometimes.
