That's funny right there. Same exact problem I had. I'm sure it's just a one-off though...

Yeah I agree @bigngreen...I'm no smith but that definitely doesn't sound right. lol...most Smiths I know, when everything is right, parts in, paint going on well, machines and tooling calibrated and working, they can get one rifle built in a week.
Also, there must be a bunch of millionaires gunsmiths running around that I don't know about haha.

Well, what I pay is irrelevant, because it's even less than the norm... Also, I'm not him, so I can't set his prices for him. Don't know what he'd charge a random customer wanting a rifle built, honestly. I just know what he charges me, as someone who's personally known him for years.
Maybe I'm failing to comprehend your definition of full-custom 700 vs. what you listed on the work order...??? Sounds pretty much full-custom and blueprinted 700 once you include the PT&G bolt, and truing the raceways...

Color a case real good with black marker and chamber it a couple times. That should show you where the issue is. Then just take a 7/16" wood dowel and notch it to hold a strip of 180 or 220 emory cloth and work that area slowly with a cordless drill. It shouldn't take much. I did the same thing to mine and it still turned out a good shooter.
Or send it back if your a patient soul.

Well then, what are the costs? Break down your process and exactly how much you charge for each process...

Well I never fired it. I only cleaned it so it's going back to the gun store tomorrow and they can deal with Remington. Hopefully they'll just give me my rifle back and I'll be on my way. My friend works there so I should hope he'll work with me

I hope I'm not the only one who sees the humor in this.
We went from
"I'd like to try a Remington, but"
"Yeah, it's risky"
To
"All that talk is overblown, one-offs"
"l guess I'll try one"
To
"I bought one"
"Good for you, mine is great"
And now....

Why are your costs irrelevant your comparing your Smith to others, so what you can get done is not what the average Joe can so let's compare apples to apples. And yes a custom is a custom not semi custom. Defiance, Bat, Curtis ,Borden ect. all have what I described so for arguements sake tell me what you can get a 700 done for what I described or let it die.

Don't beat yourself up. It's Big Green that needs the shame and a great deal of introspection.
