You know what, this is absolutely retarded, and I'm not going to argue with you anymore. This is my final post in this stupid thread, that you have managed to de-rail and destroy. My apologies to the OP for helping this trainwreck take place...
Here is my final response...
You know nothing of metal fabrication or how to rebuild/strengthen the integrity of metal structures. If you did, you would understand why drilling a hole, then filling it back in with an equal piece of metal, the same diameter, just longer, will NOT weaken the structure or integrity of the receiver walls. If you simply drilled a hole, and left it there, then YES, that would weaken it. As for the tri-pin setup, that will increase receiver strength at the face of the receiver by holding it tightly together from 3 separate directions in a spot that normally receives a lot of pressure and stretching from the inside, out. THAT is how it strengthens it. I have had to do this many times over the years with custom projects (not gun related, but on a much larger scale), and it's the same concept, just different medium.
You don't have to take my word, but just to give you a bit of my background with metal... I have been a custom metal fabricator for over half of my life, and grew up around a steel shop from the age of 6, could weld (without supervision) by the age of 12, and have been custom building metal parts since. And yes, I am still a Specialist Welder and custom metal fabricator to this day. If you really want to win an argument with someone about metal integrity or fabrication or alteration, then you might want to pick someone else to argue with about this subject. I do not know everything, but the things that I DO know, I know them well. Believe me or not, that's your choice, but it's the truth. I gain nothing from lying to people. This forum is about helping people, and not about who's right or who's wrong. You see this as a competition, which it is not, it is opinion, backed with facts.
As for your price list there, most of that crap is completely unnecessary. Blueprint the 700, cut and thread the bolt handle for an aftermarket knob, and pin the lug...DONE! No extra unnecessary sh!t that is mostly for aesthetics. If you want it, that's fine, but don't say it's necessary. And yes, if you want to add it all up, sure it's going to cost more than an action that was purpose-designed to have those features from the get-go. But once again, not everyone is after that. Also, well-known gunsmiths prices are typically a lot higher than local work...Just FYI.
Once again, sorry to the OP, I will no longer be part of this circus of derailment.
