    New CZ project idea

    BC 6.8 I was just in your situation. I bought a Boyd's stock and a varminter contour barrel. Had plans of chopping it at 16" and threading. While chucking it up to part the barrel I decided not cut it down now but wait a bit and see how it does. I did trim .100" from the muzzle ,threaded 1/2x28...

    BenY CZ Bolt Handles

    I prefer to do them in a lathe myself. I can make everything concentric and change shoulder angles. Can match the nose of the knob to the shoulder for a very streamlined look.

    Yet another "which rifle" thread - looking for a great 22lr factory rifle

    Ron, didn't know CZ made that version in your link. I recently bought this synthetic 455 with a 20 1/2 inch barrel and cut it back to 16 1/2" then threaded it, also did some bolt work. It will be a project rifle. Geno, sometimes shorter is betterer:D

    10fp Thank you for donating your handle for development and the kind words. Everything about your rifle is top notch, it looks great.

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    The problem with leaving a shoulder is that the knob is not concentric with the handle stem. When you you machine the tenon it will be concentric with the handle if it was dialed in to it but the shoulder will be left eccentric. With this situation the only way to get the tenon and shoulder...

    What specifically do people not like about AI stocks?

    I don't like the weight and the price of them. I have gotten beyond that and now own several 1.0 and 2.0's

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    I finished threading a couple today. Made some scaled down knobs to compliment the small action. Left the handles factory blue and Cerakoted the knobs Graphite Black

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    Thanks, that was the first one. I am following the swept back lines of the handle and keeping everything centerline with the axis of the handle and not the knob. The problem comes from the handle where it meets the knob is that it fairly small in diameter. The other problem if it is one, is...

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    It's done. Well I found a synthetic 455 .22 LR yesterday and took it to the ranch, disassembled the bolt and made a jig holding fixture last night. The steel is hard, similar to Savage and Winchester bolt knobs but no big deal. I single point threaded 5/16x24 tpi on a lathe. As usual...

    Who does Bolt Knobs for CZ's?!!!

    I would be interested in threading some CZ bolts myself. I am finding it hard to find any 453 or 455's to purchase here locally. I did find a 22lr/17hmr combo but the dealer wants $650 and I already have 5 hmr's. Once I get a CZ455 and thread the handle I will post something up, hopefully...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with a .260

    I have several different 6.5's and all of them are fed 140gr Berger Hunting VLD's, they are wicked on our deer and hog populations. My daughter took her first deer this past season with a self built 260 Rem.

    Hunting & Fishing A couple of head shots with a suppressed 300 BO

    Yeah this is a low budget operation. Used my Iphone and a Canon D60 with a 135mm lens set in movie mode. The Canon is a hit and miss as I found out my puny 16gb memory isn't fast enough for video. Sometimes it would video 5 seconds while other times a minute or two. Those vids were actually...

    Gunsmithing Bolt Knob Install Question

    There should be an even amount of the nose on the knob exposed around the handle. In the picture you posted it looks as if the tenon was cut off horizontal center line with the handle as there is quite of bit of gap at the top. You can not see what the underside looks like. I think the nose of...

    What did you use to paint your rifle?

    Thanks James, It's a pain and does take time but between coats you flash dry it for 15-20 minutes. High heat stencils from Bulldog were used.
