Cleaned up my damaged barrel threads from FedEx fumble!

[Kisatchie]

Before and after pics from my barrel damage courtesy of FedEx and made this barrel repair by myself. This is a 22 Hornet barrel threaded for Savage & chambered by Fred from 4 D Reamer. Used a thread file and cleaned up the threads and touched up the chamfered edge just a bit. Hopefully this will work now, I just need to find a bolt face for my savage to fit this 22 Hornet, since FedEx lost that too!

Working through adversity, I like that a lot! When I was an apprentice the journeyman I was working with told me. "You and I are going the F things up till the day we die, being a first-rate carpenter is figuring out a way to fix and completing that task before anyone finds out." Truer words were never spoken, and it being FedEx's mistake makes it even sweeter.

A good carpenter can cover up his mistakes. The cement guy is screwed.

I guess I'm the 'odd one out' again.

Why didn't 4D install a thread protector and package it better, especially if there was a bolt face in the package that's lost?

A bit of Filament packaging tape on the barrel ends and on the ends of the box would have taken 5 minutes and saved A LOT of trouble and time.

I also wonder why the barrel wasn't protected better by the shipper. Doesn't look like great care was taken, but I'm a real bug about packing stuff for shipment.

You get +5 points for knowing what a thread file is and how to use it. Well done!

Yeah it was lacking, wasn’t intentional but some people just don’t take precautions and over pack like rest of us.

Now you can say “ I did some of the barrel work myself”

At the very least, I'd let 4D know they aren't on you list of business to engage with again.

He certainly is if He doesn’t know its “concrete” !
