That sure looks like it would still make a fine hunting rifle.
My favorite to remember is P=IE, I can always remember PIE?
I was thinking a 3 or 3.5 turn pot to not be as obnoxious.
Something like......
Just for giggles I looked up the fluting cutters and an arbor to hold it. Now I am in sticker shock. at first I thought that 4168 for the cutter was bad, then I looked up a 1 inch arbor, it was $527. ARE THEY NUTS??? To be fair, I only looked at MSC.
Got on the CAD and drew up an arbor to make. Aint no way I am paying $500+ for a simple 1.00 inch arbor with 3/4" shank that I can make in a few hours for under $50 including enough 41L40 to make 3 of them. So maybe I'll make a 1-1/4 arbor at the same time.
