[QUOTE="Ronin, post: 183143, member: 4201"] Nat I am at the beginning of a long journey into doing my own barrel work, I am familiar with the principles and techniques of chambering but have not done so yet in practice. I asked the question as a layman, not out of any critisism for your idea. I posted as I am currently collecting items I need to stock my own home workshop and had settled on using a clock mounted on the tailstock spindle to measure the final cutting distance after checking as you described with action, headspace guage and feeler guages. (as per John Hynants text in precision rifle barrelling) It never occured to me that the MARS tool could be used replace the dial test indicator (clock) in the final stages of cutting the chamber. Would I be right in thinking that one could use the MARS in the closed position and chamber until somewhere near - measure using the action, HeadSpace guage and feelers and then dial in the necessary depth to be cut into the mike on the MARS to provide a simple finish depth cut? Thanks for bearing with me! [/QUOTE]
