This one will be up for grabs when it's done.
20" 7mm-08 fluted sporter 5/8-24 muzzle threads
Fluted bolt body
Mesa bottom metal
Mountain Tactical recoil lug and bolt stop
Stockys carbon fiber sporter stock
I started out by marking the flute locations with the laser. This greatly reduces the hassle of timing the flutes.

With the barrel in the lathe, the bore gets dialed and pre bored. The receiver threads are then cut for a class 3 fit.

Next the chamber gets cut.

Since the barrel muzzle diameter is .65" I'm adding a permanent thread adapter to facilitate 5/8-24 accessories.
