[QUOTE="Mram10us, post: 1790252, member: 111667"] I love your honesty! I butchered my share of tenons when I was learning (practice). My first real job was a CA carbon barrel. Talk about nervous with a $600 barrel chucked up. My threads were crumby when I first started learning(before I actually built a rifle) because of a couple things: 1. Tried to take too big of cuts (.020”). I start with .010” now on the first pass and go right to .005” for the next couple. After you see the V starting to form well I go to .003” then finish with light cleanup passes at the end 2. I actually had the half nut engaged just off the number at times! Talk about rookie mistake. I posted pics and had some guys help and others say give up. You are going to be great at this stuff because you are humble enough to show mistakes and learn vs the guys that post like they are perfect. Keep it up! [/QUOTE]
