I’m more thinking I can stick a blank in a CNC and cut the recess for the bolt and flanged locking collar, plus with live tooling I can drill and tap holes for a pic rail as well as drill and tap for the studs that go into the stock all in one tool holding.
I also seriously doubt Blaser has come up with anything drastically new in the barrel material world. Hammer forged barrels have been around awhile, and barrel hardness only buys you so much. If Blaser barrels were markedly better than all other barrels then US shooters would be buying them by the truckload. In my experience hunters just shoot barrels much longer than target shooters since the accuracy expectations are not as high (exceptions do exsist). Same thing with chrome lined barrels in machine guns, I can’t remember the exact number but the military runs their 223 and 308 machine gun barrels past 30k rounds…….but I can guarantee you a 223 will not consistently hold 10ring (12in)at 600yds past 2000-4000 rounds (depending on brand, bullet used and how hot the load is). Fclass guns are lucky to make it to 2000 rounds but again the expectation of accuracy is higher.
