    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser I hear yuh both! Those screws I got were kinda meant to fit any of the jigs I had. ACE hardware didn't have enough of the shorter ones at the time I was looking. I'll get those things changed soon. FYI, I haven't left a chuck key in a lathe yet or...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Howa and Remington Action/bolt truing. Well I got another project going while I'm waiting on the Howa stock to arrive. I figured I would do some work to an old Yugo M24/47 Mauser I had laying around and turn it into a mountain rifle. Here is what I have done so far...I stripped the...

    Gunsmithing bottom metal

    Re: bottom metal On the CDI topic! I own one, wouldn't go that route again and I'd sell it if some one wants it. One of the issues I have with it is that it does not have a proper "stop" if you will, machined in the mag well ( by the trigger gaurd area, above the thumb lever) to keep...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Howa and Remington Action/bolt truing. Well I took an older Remginton Factory barrel barrel I had and did some work to it. The barrel is a 1:10 .308 varmint contour measuring 20". I used my nifty extension and ran the little guy through the head stock and cut some 3/4-28 threads to fit an...

    Gunsmithing Most/least important step when truing an action

    Re: Most/least important step when truing an action I would say the bolt face would be the least important and the action face, threads and lug surfaces should always be cleaned up when "truing". You could look at it this way, Some people cut the face and threads but lap the lugs while other...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Howa and Remington Action/bolt truing. Oh maybe it's the set up picture shown with like a foot of barrel sticking out with the range rod running through it. That was a just for a picture and an idea of where the barrel would need to be to work on it if I cut it to 24", notice the circular...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Howa and Remington Action/bolt truing. Maybe he is thinking about the crown picture. The DIA. is .830 and there is about 1.25" sticking out of the faceplate. I guess it could be less

    Gunsmithing Truing Remington 700 Question

    Re: Truing Remington 700 Question So lapping simply removes less material as opposed to cutting? I guess I kinda figured you removed enough material in either case to get the even surface but... if you only cut the action face and threads and just lap in the lug surfaces I guess you wouldn't...

    Gunsmithing Truing Remington 700 Question

    Re: Truing Remington 700 Question From the 2 actions/bolts I have tampered with, I saw in both that the bolt face required the least amount of removal for a a clean even surface. I believe that there is a threshold for just about everything in regards to the action face, threads and lug...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Howa and Remington Action/bolt truing. I just got done working on the crown. I finished machining the extension to now fit the Remington 1-1/16x16 TPI and I added some texture in the middle as well. The extension is 10", solid and doesn't seem to hinder the set up in any way in which I...

    MY AZ Precision 6.5 CREED!

    Re: MY AZ Precision 6.5 CREED! Here are some groups fired recently while working up a load. Rifle was fired from the prone with a Harris bi-pod and rear bag. The rifle shoots way better than I can. While I can usually get a great 3 shot group around 1/4-1/2", shooting a 5 shot group is a...
