I agree. I'm a vibrant 36 year old living in a 65 year old body!

Ha! Wait 'til you're an active 28 year-old living in a 78 year-old body!

I knew I was going to get old someday, I just thought it would take longer.

With me it's not so much the age but the mileage. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

At least I'm still 99% OEM parts.

Not me. They replaced my carburator valve a while back. (Aortic heart valve)

My gunsmith went ahead and borescoped the barrel . he scoped it It looked the same way yours did...I had to buy a new Brux barrel.

Fotis what are your thoughs on the Brux barrel? I’m leaning towards trying one.

The way this thead was trending, I thought you might think Fotis was speaking about a colonoscopy!? I didn't want to think of a Brux barrel being subjected to this "time-honoured" rite.

I have a Brux 6BR barrel on a Kelbly F-Class rifle and a second 308 Sporter on a Sako L-579 actioned sporter. I like them better than my Bartlein. They and a Kreiger than I have shoot well and clean easy.

I know the feeling Doc. I want to get up and go but it appears I'm stuck in first gear.

At least you're not in creeper gear!
The last month we've been working on brush management. I've cut 10 acres of invasive species. I move in creeper gear until I take a shower!

I was complaining to my wife that it seems that I can't get anything done anymore. She said " You used to be a lot faster".

I don’t understand how someone could put barrels like that out the door, much less charge those prices for them, THEN justify it! I don’t think age is the culprit with his crap work. I’m 54 years old and am just starting to feel like I have a clue as to what I’m doing. I’m speechless to be quite honest. My name is worth more than that to me to put work like that into someone’s hands.

At his age you would think that there would be some sort of pride in his workmanship and his reputation. I guess it's all about the dollar with no concerns as to how it was gotten. It's sad to see it.
