[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3260111, member: 5412"] I have had business with this guy. I know for a fact because I own one of his .243 WSSM uppers that some of his machining was very suspect. I can do single point threading very well on a lathe. The upper he built for me has a very poor example of threading for a brake, can, or whatever. He told me even though it was sloppy threads which I noticed immediately, it worked ok when shouldering the brake to the muzzle. Well, hell ya, but when it flops around like a wet noodle threading it on, it’s not right and he refused to make it right. I sent the upper back to him twice because I couldn’t hit a pie pan at 100 yards accurately. When all said and done, it was because he gave me the wrong twist. I’d asked for a 1:12 and he sold me a 1:8. 55 grain doesn’t work well at that twist and velocity. I had to figure that out for him. Worked great with a 100 grain bullet after figuring that out taking a lot of deer. Still wanting a hyper velocity for 55 grain Ditech.com got me the upper I wanted. Two years later, accuracysystems.com called me and said he had a barrel with my name on it. Wondered what I wanted him to do with it. I wanted to tell him the truth about what I wanted him to do with it, but refrained and explained who I was and our history. He said thanks and hung up. Take that interaction any way you want if you wish to do business with him. He has lots of good reviews about accurizing the Ranch rifles. [/QUOTE]
