Glad to hear that all went well, even with the absence of Big Mike. The Stysh barrel on my 30BR continues to make me happy every time I shoot it and I'm sure yours will be the same.
I was at Stan's on Monday and had a little chat with him about letting some of those secrets 'out the door', so to speak. His response was something like: "(
) you...get 'yer Rock and Roll punk ass back over to the lathe, cut and thread that brass you've got chucked up, and leave me and my Johnny Cash CD's the (
) alone."
Stan's always been the sensitive type.
