You'll see orange but most of the light is UV. You won't see that part.

I dearly hope this project gets to the point that i need to worry about laquer buildup!

An electric chamber warmer, keep the lacquer above its melting point. I do this crazy stuff too.

This thread had me cruising GMs list of cheap barrels. Lots of chip making opportunity. I have a few of those Savage Axis rifles here, what is the thread of the barrel shank? Are they the old small 1 1/16th, or the new and improved 1 1/8"???

I do not remember the thread form, I will check my notes.

Stimpy, you're one of my heroes.

It's just a freaking rifle.

My notes have the bbl to receiver threadform at 1.055x20TPI

He didn't say WHY you were his hero - you just assumed it was the rifle. Maybe it was that suave photo in your avatar?

I should update that, as I am thinner now.
