His goal is to get some specific measurements on the radius fillet, bearing width, bearing chamfer, endplay, interference, etc... before I contact Butler and Scat.

I read through the warranty info on Butler's and Scat's website and don't see any meaningful recourse based on the specifics of their written warranty, assuming I can demonstrate a clear manufacturing error.

Let's say Butler/Scat acknowledge an error, what can I expect?

After this, I'll get a quote, soup-to-nuts, on a long block and evalauate what I can swing.

I will post on this thread as soon as I get an update.
