Chuck,
In reading your above post my mind was wandering concerning the sleeving process. Specifically, the boring of the chambers to accept the new tubes. I have no machinist background whatsoever, but the question of re-regulation arises in my mind. If the old barrels are cut off before the chambers are bored/reamed, then how does the machinist perfectly align the boring bit/tool with the old bore axis, or is that not important?
It would seem better to somehow pilot the drill/reamer in the old bores, if that is possible, and go ahead and drill out the chambers, then cut off the barrels.
I know there must be something about the process I do not understand. Just curious.
Stan
