And this is why gunsmith and barrel-porting professionals have job security. Because these admiral works of design deserve refinement and care. It is not about money. It is amount the goal. At least that is what I make of my experience.


Yep. And it only cost me an additional grand to get my Smith shooting like it should have straight out of the factory. But of course it's now called a BFR...

I like my smith, don't get me wrong. But Max is right, if you start with a BFR, you're starting way ahead. I do my own trigger jobs, which cost about $20 and $8 of that was shipping.

This is speaking purely from a factory performance stand-point. If you're a DA guy, then my argument is pointless.

Good discussion Jeff. Shoot straight in whatever platform you choose, brother.
