The dies will be manufactured soon I hope.
I have yet ordered the barrel but probably next week, it's a 10/12 week wait. the dies are 8 weeks out they say. I found some Go/no go gauges  to by them it about $120 shipped and 8/10 week. BUT I can rent them for about $35 to me and back to them.
I'm going to go that way but wait till I get the barrel, it is only a 3 day rent window. 
Wrench and nut next.

I'm interested to see how this project works out. If it's relitivly easy to do the oportunities could be almost endless. 

Savage rifles were inexpensive but that's not so much the case now. 
I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

Redding is the only place that custom make them as far as I know.
I ordered through Graff's and sons they where $10 cheaper and less shipping too. Rather than from Redding them selves.Beer
