    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor install and ejector modification (.223 bolt face)

    I've not been on here much as the tempo here at work keeps me busy.

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    That's a Jesel external belt drive. Converting the block to this requires machine work to fit the cover along with converting to a dry sump oiling system. Shown is the block in one of my mills as I was fitting the cover.

    "Booger Sugar" comes in various forms. . . "Rice night" has consequences. Lol.

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    Some additional progress over the last few weeks. Headers... A very big thanks to my friend Tom. He was in charge and I was happy to be the "hold this for me" bitch. 2-1/4" primaries to a 4-1/2" collector. Fender dumps. I'm working on the teardrop tips now.

    Something a friend has been working on and he tolerates me to sticking my nose in it here n there... A Ford/GM marriage of sorts. "Ebony aaannnd Ivory. . ." Lol. Windsor block with a pair of GM LT heads that I whittled on to fit. An earlier attempt with conventional LS heads slapped...

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor conversion to BAT Machine bolts.

    I would save the effort of doing this with CMM. This was a pass or fail exercise for your buddy, and it's pretty clear where your at. Experience is never cheap.

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor conversion to BAT Machine bolts.

    Judging by this photo, my guess is the pin hole was drilled in the wrong location. It looks to me as though the projection of the extractor paw above the bolt nose is dern near equal to the gap between the back of it and the bolt inlet.

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor conversion to BAT Machine bolts.

    Yes. I started making my own over a decade ago in an effort to streamline the installation process. Our tempo (75-100 a month) made this pretty clear. We make our own ejector pins too. Most of the M700 bolts we do are converted to use dual ejector pins, so our burn rate on those is 2x...

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor conversion to BAT Machine bolts.

    This week we converted some Bat Machine-made bolts to M16 style. I am so grateful to have the machining resources I do here. This would have been nearly impossible to do otherwise. These began life as a T slot type extractor with a .545" diameter magnum bolt face. We converted them to .480"...

    Gunsmithing Help- broken case stuck in chamber

    Once upon a 3rd world country ago... In Iraq I always had my share of M4s and (mostly) Peshmerga (Kurdish) issue bang sticks to fix. Often, the ammo was dug out of a hole in the ground and it resulted in more than one case "sneezing" and becoming stuck in the chamber. The fix that I found to...

    Gunsmithing Chambering on a 5-axis VMC

    FWIW: I've not read all the comments, so if I step on a toe I apologize. It's been my experience that coolant delivery is the #1 challenge to solve when automating the process of chambering a rifle barrel with a form tool. It's a nut I cracked over 20 years ago while working for Nesika and...

    This is a pair of billet hot/cold side tanks I made this weekend for a gent with a baller Mustang that runs in the Heavy Street classes. 96lbs of material to start that finished just under 8lbs.

    It's been a busy few weekends. 1. Billet valve covers to fit my unicorn heads are done. Crank/cam sensor combo mount finished: Longblock is done, all that's left is getting the dry sump plumbing sorted and the blower buttoned up for good.
