Morris completed the final preparation on the barrels with the setup to cut the groove for the takedown cross pin. Each barrel had to be screwed into the action with equal force, then moved to the EDM and indexed. With the 4 tapered electrode mounted the action was removed and the cut was made to proper depth. For those interested in the minutiae the full story is at:
