Ron,

No problem on the pics.

Now I have a couple of questions. Are all the spacers all the way out to the muzzels welded? What technique did you use to weld them? Was it a specialty TIG weld? What happens if/when the barrels wear a bit from shooting and the rifle needs a regulation tweak? If the welding on the barrel doesn't concern you did you give any thought to welding the seam lines at the monoblock?

Also if you could explain why you chose the swivel gets screwed to the rib instead of making a barrel spacer swivel out of the same piece? Also if you could give the overall impression of the one piece rib you used? How much work was needed to fit your barrel profiles? Do you do anything to hide the screws in the ribs after soldering?

Please don't take this as you did anything wrong. I'm just asking questions for my own benefit. The more I see the way others do things the more it makes me examine how I do mine. That's why I asked for the reasoning behind what you did.

Overall looks great, thanks for the pics. Best thing is now you have another action to build another set of barrels for from scratch

.

Bill

P.S.- The Weaver base also makes a decent quarter rib. Just keep the fins on the areas you want to use for the scope mounts than machine the rest off that it's the same width as the lower rib. Then machine the bottom of that to match your barrel contours. It gives a very sturdy one piece quarter rib.
