Adventures with CMP 40X borescope, IOSSO, and Flitz

Calling anything Nehemiah Sirkis(google him) has to say laughable is asinine. My favorite story is when he shot an Arab at 300 yds in the 6 day war because his platoon needed some smokes. Here's a pic of me and my friend and neighbor in my gun room holding a couple of his creations.

""IMO being able to effectively and consistently remove the burrs is what separates the top RF gunsmiths from all the rest. I don't know that you can cut a chamber without having those burrs left after reaming. I have looked at chambers cut by some well known smiths that still had the burrs"" copied from post #3 by Ray

I have been reading Bill Calfees book-Team Calfee (a compilation of articles from Precision Shooting in early 2000s) and he addresses the issue of 'reaming remains'(my term-not his).

If I recall, they must be removed or they will cause flippers (8's or worse).
 
Hambone,
I wish I had gunroom like that! Well, maybe not, my wife would be upset. LOL. Mr. Sirkis, if he truly is a vet of the Israeli 6 day war and was an arms developer and designer, is a truly practical man. They used what they had and prevailed. They didn't have much and defeated a much larger and well equipped adversary. Are all those rifles on the top row Kimbers? I can't tell squat from the pic, but I see a lot of contrasting forearms on the stocks.
 
Thanks, and Sirkis is the real deal. Kalishnikov, Dieter Anschutz, et.al. ask him advice. Redesigning the entire NY Kimber line is just a blip on his resume and he thought Greg Warne was an idiot (top row all KoO 82s), the only time we slightly argue.. The austrian Voere sniper rifles and the caseless cartridges are his masterworks. He also shot 3P at the 68 Olympics, raced motorcycles, paints, plays the piano and always brings good beer.
