I just wanted to follow up and let you know how it turned out. Like I said before I sent the barrel and action to Twisted Barrel. The price, communication, results was great and fast. When I got the barrel back I didn't like how shiny the flutes were (this is a hunting gun) so I painted them with my wood stove flat black spray paint. I took the gun to the range the other day and it still cuts holes. The balance of the gun is just right now. I wish I could have weighted how much weight was taken off but I don't have a good scale to do that. Thank you Twisted Barrel and thank you Realunlucky!!
