Moving on to the barrel blank. It's from Green River, 308 cal, 4140 steel. Button rifled.

It's skim-cut for concentricity and inserted as far in the chuck/headstock as it will go...About 5 inches. I turn the end for the receiver stub, thread it, and make a nice snug fit. Then I relieve the last .030" where the stub threads into the receiver.
