I didn't lap the receiver face or bed the barrel. There was some clearance with the extension (about 0.003", so I painted the extension OD to take up some of the clearance. I left the shoulder on the extension clear. Added about 0.0015" to the OD.
Everything must be square. When I took my scope off of my 308 and put it on the Grendel, the scope was only off 4 MOA left and 4 High. I thought that was pretty lucky.
Here is the rifle before I painted the barrel. Some of my friends wanted me to leave it naked stainless, but I thought it was too flashy. I really like how the paint job turned out.
I also included a pic with the HG off. The barrel with the fluting look so good, it is hard to cover it up.
