    Maggie’s Machining and woodworking for guns

    Well I've got my barrel lapped and with the help of my new teslong borescope was actually able to view the inside of the barrel. Lapping a barrel is pretty strenuous, takes a lot of pull to pull those laps coated with abrasive through and since the tightest part was at the breech I couldn't get...

    I was fortunate enough to get a box of barrel rejects from a well known barrel maker for the cost of shipping .I've made a lot of stuff out of them. My two rimfire actions are made from 416 stainless 50 cal. rifle barrels. I made a jig to hold the firing pins so I could grind the tips on them...

    Maggie’s Machining and woodworking for guns

    The last part to make to have a complete action is the loading ramp/ejector . I started with a piece of 3/4 drill rod and turned it down to the diameter of the bolt. I also had to make a jig to hold it while milling away the unwanted part That was a sleeve that the bolt would just slide into...

    The indexing disk is a 10 inch saw blade I cut the teeth off and made the 1 1/2 hole in it with the milling cutter. My chuck screws on and the disk is sandwiched in between the chuck and headstock spindle. I made a frame around the upper housing with angle iron for the little spring loaded...

    Maggie’s Machining and woodworking for guns

    It seems like I've been working pretty hard but not a lot to show for it. I've cut a stainless barrel blank down to 16.5 inches and profiled it for the .17 cal pistol, threaded it and have it ready to chamber in the morning . That pretty much took all day. That and keeping the cat out of the...

    I haven't had to go to work in 16 days now so I've been trying to get these two pistols somewhat completed. I've also realized that the next ones I do I'll use savage extractors , cartridge guides and retainer springs. what a pain to make ,whole lot easier to machine the bolt nose like a savage...

    Rem 700 22LR bolt

    The marlin 15 uses a bolt that turns but the bolt nose is only 5/16 inch in diameter and they don't use a chamber that engraves the bullet. So it can be done , but for accuracy you need the bullet to engrave the rifling and if it engraved deeply enough you might get away with it . It is...

    Rem 700 22LR bolt

    The problem with front lugs on a .22 is when you turn the bolt to engage the lugs your turning the bullet in the chamber destroying the engraving on the bullet. you could do it with .22 mag 17 hmr 17 mach II as they use centerfire bullets. If there was a way to make a good front lug .22 i would...

    New Idea

    You don't need to patent an idea to bring it to market. A patent is going to be 8 to 10 thousand bucks to start, and you don't need one to sell a product. You just need someone to make it and sell it . You can pitch an idea to a company with a confidental agrement to see if there interested and...

    Varget in stock, Central tx.

    Stopped in at A Texas Girls Guns in Liberty Hill Tx tonight on my way home they got more reloading supplies than I've seen in quite a while . I think I left 6 or 7 pounds of varget on the shelf after I got mine, big assortment of powder, primers and some bullets.

    Gunsmithing Anyone ever built their own action?

    I've built a few mostly rimfire but one in 7.62x25. Heck if you can make the reciever , make the bolt. Usually takes me about a year from planning start to shooting . Long time member of home gunsmith forums.
