    Gunsmithing dbm bottom metal drawings

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings I've got quite a bit done this weekend looking pretty good. I didn't get any pics tonight, but tomorrow night for sure. Today was taking the final measurements and making those tight corners for the mag well.

    Gunsmithing dbm bottom metal drawings

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings Well the mill is back up and running. Here's where I'm at with it. A little bit more roughing is needed. I bought some better end mills, amazing how much faster you can cut. Now I see why those guys put the 6800 rpm motor on these mills. Grabbed a rotary table...

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings The Motor on my new Grizzly mill blew the cooling impeller apart so I'm waiting on a replacement, but sure, I'll post a pic when its done.

    Gunsmithing dbm bottom metal drawings

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings Hmmm a boring bar. I think an end mill would work better because the guard is slotted. But I'll take any info you veterans of the mill want to give me. I've got it mostly shaped but the weather been crappy and I've had other hunny-do's but I do want to get it...

    Gunsmithing dbm bottom metal drawings

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings Thanks guys. I've got most of it drawn out. Chad posted the inlet for a stiller metal and tossed about a 1/3 of the specs so that made it much easier. Now the mag well is angled. Would you cut the main flat part where it bolts to the action first then do the...

    Gunsmithing dbm bottom metal drawings

    Re: dbm bottom metal drawings Thanks but I already have one. I didn't want to take the rifle apart to measure it. I was hoping someone could give me the basic specs. Well lets forget the specs. But could I ask when milling this piece should I start up right or on its side? I figured I would...
