    Gunsmithing What do you consider excessive headspace?

    I understand what you are saying no problem and have adjusted dies for chamber size . The OP asked about adjusting the chamber size to save brass and your right he can adjust his sizing die to resize cases so there's no stretch . I was talking about adjusting the chamber to some size other than...

    Gunsmithing What do you consider excessive headspace?

    Your right that the brass can be sized to an short or longer chamber to a point but extremely short chamber may not allow factory ammo and a over size chamber cause the same issue with factory brass slamming into the bolt. You have to think about the next guy that ends up with the rifle not...

    Gunsmithing What do you consider excessive headspace?

    I guess slamming the case back into the bolt would cause hard bolt lift and show pressure signs on the primers .

    Gunsmithing What do you consider excessive headspace?

    Wouldn't excessive headspace make less pressure and more brass stretch ? I've always used scotch tape on the back of the go gauge to measure headspace but remember to peel it after measuring or you will be off on the next chamber job .

    Gunsmithing Dual ejector springs on a factory Rem 700 bolt with a factory extractor

    We have to relieve some material above the extractors for rebated rims like the 450 like your saying but this cartridge rim slides over and catches the groove cut for the extractor . On a normal 223 bolt that area is all filled holding the cartridge into the extractor claw this setup lets the...

    Gunsmithing Dual ejector springs on a factory Rem 700 bolt with a factory extractor

    We bought some of the actions PTG is selling this bolt also has the skeleton bolt handle they came with a RR serial number tube . I have a few factory 17 fireballs, 221 fireballs and the 300 blackout I don't think the spring is that far off the 223 plunger position .

    Gunsmithing Dual ejector springs on a factory Rem 700 bolt with a factory extractor

    I'll get them up tonight meant to call you guys today crazy at work . The bolt on the left has the cut out for the extra spring I believe its right inline with the roll pin . The case pivots grabbing the extractor cutout on the opposite side . This one is a .350 but the .223's do the same so...

    Hello guys wondering if you guys have ran across this ? I bought some 223 Remington actions and the bolts have the relief cut for a second ejection plunger . Now that the action is barreled when cycled the brass gets hung up sticking in the bolt at a angle ? It seems to push the brass into the...

    Gunsmithing Polishing a stainless barrel

    This is what I use to polish being a cheap skate I made everything but it would have been cheaper to buy time wise . You can correct some bad chatter marks with eighty grit and work your way finer all the way to chrome. Gordy uses a wire wheel to get that dull finish Shilen and Douglas barrels...

    Gunsmithing What lathe for the home gunsmith?

    About six years ago I was struggling to find a decent lathe for barrel work . Most I looked at were badly worn in terrible shape or priced out of my price range . If anything was reasonably price it sold immediately with backup buyers waiting. A good friend that taught me how to run a lathe...
