Button vs Hammer forgedFACTORY barrels as far as accuracy goes not sure if there is any difference. There is no custom rifle manufacturer that uses them. Probably because of cost of machineryvs volume. The poster in question claimed that Savage hand lapped their barrels when that is a false statement. He also claimed that when they are fitting barrels to an action that they use factory ammo or an ammo mockupand theymake sure the bullets touch the rifling when installing the barrel and checking for headspace. That is also a false statement and pure unadulterated hogwash.


I am not going to go into the explanation of hammer forging because I explained it on a previous post.



What's wrong with that procedure ? Remington probablyhas thousands of bolts laying around its not like a gunsmith who may have a few complete actions laying around waiting to be rebarrelled.
