Walt,
I unnerstand FA does installation, safety, function tests, etc. Do I send the entire rifle in safe condition, just the barreled action, field stripped, or what? Would I save $$ if I purchase the bbl, hang onto it, and send it with my buddy to Camp Perry next year? Only reason I ask about that is that I've heard better deals can be had there as oposed to your in-house work. Sounds odd- but I have heard it from more than one person.

Also,
I still have the old Garand ('50's-'60's hack job, 1903 2-groove bbl, possible re-weld). Any ideas of what to do with this thing? Before I found out what I know now, I shot it quite a bit- sadly enough, the darn thing shoots great.
