Almost every time I need a dummy round to set-up your chamber. The exceptions are,
        you give me the neck diameter you want in the chambering and, you and or I know zero
        free bore is what is needed in the throat for the chambering.

             Prep the brass as you will for the rifle when its completed. Seat the bullet of choice
        and praying that will shoot in the gun to the seating depth that works for you or in the
        magazine. Use virgin brass. Your fire formed brass in the old chamber most likely is
        bigger in diameter and in most cases won't resize small enough for a slip fit. If you chose
        not to heed this requirement and send a fired case, I will do my best. But setting the
        throat is not accomplished with beating a case in and prying it out to see and measure
        where I'm at.

             This is the same for wild cats and Ackley style cartridges. The reason for this is the
        ojive of the bullet and the base of the case are the only two surfaces that are used in the
        measurement to cut the throat.  Nothing else needs to touch in the chamber.

             If you insist on sending a fired cases and it turns out that the throat is cut to deep  you
        can have it remachined. But you will encore all the costs to correct and a virgin piece of
        brass must be sent to do the rework.

             Please send written instructions, I'm not a mind reader and do not have total recall.
        The page under WORK ORDER will give a good outline of what information I will need to
        work on your rifle.

             I have no problem using your chamber reamer. But if you have a GO and NO GO
         gauge, send it. Your gauge's may not be exactly like my gauges. Yes manufacture to
         manufacture has different lengths. I can guarantee the fit on the gauges used not on
         another set of gauges.        

             Send the required deposit to get started on your project which means, I don't order
         parts till I have a deposit. If I'm ordering a barrel it's $275.00. For a stock $300.00. For a
         complete build $1500.00
