You will find that if you taper the edge of the barrel blank before starting the threads you will get a better start on the threads. Driving the bit into a square often can cause issues. Since you are using a BAT M action, at least you won't have to worry about the lug.I did touch the edges lightly. Wasn't too worried about it as these are just paper weights
Threads are looking really good.
If you can, get a hold of some old barrels so that you can practice setup and chambering before you put the actual blank in.
Are you going to shoot BR or F-Class?
