[QUOTE="Rhunter2, post: 1255924, member: 96050"] So I wanted to get some feedback on my conversations so far with MRC. I just got this response: [COLOR=#1f497d][FONT=Calibri]I showed this to our gunsmiths and management.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#1f497d][FONT=Calibri]Since the barreled action was taken out, there is no way determine how it was re-installed.
