    When ya get a chance, no rush. I do appreciate the info and feedback. Kinda wouldn't mind going mine in a 6x45 (6mm 223) for ease of use. I will need to talk to some barrel companies about the twist rate. Will most likely go with the 1-9.25 of the Savage, partly cause their barrels are cheap. I need to do some measurements on a 243 barrel I have and see if there would be enough meat at chamber end to cut off the 243 chamber and ream out to the 6x45, and still have enough to vut threads and shoulder for the mini. Do yo happen to remember how deep (long) the threads were?

    Did you make your own gas block of machine the barrel to factory block dia? I was kinda thinking of a sporter weight barrel, and then I could machine the gas block area to factory size, or try to have the block opened up a bit larger.

    On the lathe, I have gotten used to slower, with a little machine, it dictates how fast I can do anything. I am self taught on all this so I learn a lot by reading and pictures.

    The idea was to have a tool post grinder. This actually worked on a few projects but if I did another one, I would make it a little stiffer. This one flexes a little. But light cuts and patience is all that is needed to succeed.

    Small lathe ....... just know the limitations and take lighter cuts and you will be happier.

    I will be in the shop on Sunday and will try to take a couple pics for you.
    I will need an email address to send pics though.

    Mine is ........ ed@robertsusa.com

    I did my own barrel change a couple years ago when I was not happy with accuracy.
    I found a Krieger used on Gunbroker and got it. It was chambered in 22PPC so had to cut off the chamber and buy reamers and redo it totally.

    Came out great with the best accuracy of 1/2" at 100 yards but this was during load testing and have not tried for over a year. Had 5 rounds of a certain recipe and got that result.

    I just did a brake on a 581 recently that turned out great.

    thanks for your suggestions....about the eyes, i may be in denial. what gets me the most though is that i don't think i'm having any problems shooting the garand or the carbine witht he open iron sights. its JUST with this mini and ONLY once we get above 25 yds.
    it went out to gundoc. he has some ideas. depending on what he finds, i may have to get another eye test. keep watching this post for the final outcome. thanks again
