What brought me to the table of thought was that Mark says many of his barrels will do 5 holes in ½ and so i kept reading (½MOA easily makes me the weak link regardless of anything's else, but this time I kept reading and noted the barrels are either dimpled or flat), thus the question, and I received a 16 BA "Hanson" barrel, that, as another has pointed out has the cross pin & I have an early SLR dimple jig (new ones have more option than the one I have
I think I only have .400 & .450", but a new jig is hardly a price to pay to get the system as close to mechanically accurate out to 600yds as I can, but I know the 6.5Grendel has another ~250- ~300yds in it @ my altiyude.
I don't want the rail "in the white" (I am not a machinist, so the nonencluture may be off, but the person that would be doing this for me has the necessary background and college degrees, & has done work for some of the other manf listed above) or have the LaRue Team do anything to create any additional work. I meant to say just remove it from the machine, remove any cutting fluid as I can get the piece "into the white" where it is prepped and ready for the anodizing process (don't even care about sharp edges, can take care of all of it), and I have access to a laser engraver to put Mark's appropriate grapghics back (putting the LaRue Tactical logo in a state of AZ outline was just a joke, unless Mr. LaRue wouldn't mind)?
Also noted how thick the ~11.5" Alexander Arms barrel is.
I would really like LaRue to put out a 6.5Grendel in ~10"-12.5. I would think Mark could beat Alexander Arms prices too boot? Maybe? Or if I am stepping on toes I will back off.
Appreciate the info all,
Bob. Maybe I will send LaRue Tactica a letter and see if somebody can put together a LAT w/ all the parts that come with the kit and the just grab a rail wherever it is technically finished being machined and I can get the rest taken care of (company I would be dealing with is up-to-date ISO & AS certified, so it is not like I am going to anodized this in a backyard anodize kit (while they do fit their purpose, I know I would be getting the same level of finish (no disrespect, this is science and the place I have access to keeps their anodize tanks to a very high standard as that is what the customer sees first as they usually do not have the equipment to measure to the accuracy that companies that do this for their life)
Again,
Appreciate the time,
Bob
