    Co-Ax parts holder print

    Decided I wanted to have the extra parts for the Co-Ax handy for when I am swapping jaws or to hold the priming attachments. Threw this together in Fusion 360 and designed it to mount on the two holes behind the press on the Inline Fab mount I use, but would pretty easily be mounted on...

    Gunsmithing How to measure action for barrel fitting?

    Getting ready to fit / chamber my first barrel, and having the trigger off of the Rem700 action after cleaning it up, I put the bolt back in and grabbed the depth indicator to measure the bolt face and lugs to the front of the receiver distance. However I notice that there is some slop in the...

    Gunsmithing to re-cut action threads or not

    I know some will recut their action threads larger when doing a truing / blueprint on it, but if you were not going to automatically do so, how far out would the factory threads need to be to make you feel it was needed? I just cleaned up the front of the action (which was barely out of...

    Gunsmithing Video camera mount

    Had a chance to play with my new mill this weekend, and got to work on a mount to put a video camera behind the scope on my AICS. Please excuse the lower quality cell phone pics. Gonna try and get a decent video this week to go along with it. Cheers! Onyx

    Gunsmithing How do you guys cut a chamber?

    Question for you guys. I'm getting ready to cut my first chamber, and wanted to get your guys input. Do you use a normal twist drill bit to clear out about half of the desired size of the chamber, use a small boring bar to clean it up and get about 90% to size, and finish it off with a reamer...

    Gunsmithing Removed two Rem700 factory barrels. what a PITA!

    Wow! First time breaking down an action, and even with all the tools that was a huge pain in the butt! Soaked with some PB-Blaster for a couple hours, and rosin on the wood blocks holding the barrel, and a nice big wheeler action wrench, but was still a big pain in the butt. Part of my...

    Gunsmithing Question about why to use a reamer holder

    Forgive my question that comes from ignorance, but in talking to my friend who is a machinist by trade, he was asking why a floating reamer holder or one of the fancy morse taper mounted reamer holders was needed, as opposed to ensuring your tailstock was properly aligned (both vertically and...

    CMP, last batch of 40XB's?

    CMP sent out an email that they have 40XB's available, and that it might be their last batch. For those wanting to make a trainer, this might be right up your alley: "Remington 40X – Standard Barrel. Barreled Action only. Contains receiver, barrel, bolt assy, trigger group. Does not contain...

    Gunsmithing Schematic for how to fit a Remington 700 barrel

    Forgive me if this qualifies as a stupid question (probably does) but is there a schematic / spec sheet out there for what a barrel needs to be turned to and threaded to, to fit a stock Rem700SA? Thanks! Onyx

    iPhone video through scope (Now with Video)

    Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. As a proof of concept I found a way to mount my iPhone up on my rifle so that the camera points through the scope. This way I can use the video capture feature to film through the scope. Not nearly as quick as looking through the scope itself to...

    Gunsmithing Where do I find a used Rem700 SA for a good price?

    Wanting to further some gunsmithing practice, and want to try my hand at truing a 700. Can I get one cheaper than a new rifle at cabellas for ~$600 or an action from brownells for $500? Thanks! Onyx

    Gunsmithing How to make a Switch Barrel Rem700 SA?

    I am going to build up a Rem700 SA for fun and learning, and figured that making it a switch barrel would be fun, and a nice way to shoot more than one caliber in this rifle. One problem, I have no idea what actually makes an action set up to swap barrels that easily. Is it just pinning the...

    problems with my 40XB (Fixed!!)

    I posted this on rimfirecentral, but I know we have some knowledgeable people here, and wanted to ask you all... My Remington 40XB has been great so far, but recently I started shooing Wolf Match ammo, and this weekend it ended up being difficult to chamber, and was running near 100% extraction...

    Threaded my 40-XB (Now with Video)

    I have a friend who is a machinist that I have been leaning on to teach me some skills. (Just in case this whole IT /computer thing is a fad and I need to fall back on a real job) Yesterday, after several practices on a take off barrel from the scrap pile at a local gunshop, I threaded my...

    Gunsmithing Need info on action jig for lathe

    I want to build a jig to be able to turn/true Remington 700 type actions. What are the general sizes recommended for the jig? Is 3" diameter large enough? How long do you need to cover most actions (including long actions)? What wall thickness would provide the support for the set screws...

    Completed .22lr trainer in AICS

    Finally got the AICS in, and the 40XB mounted up. I definitely like the ergo's of the AICS, and the mono-pod feels like cheating. Onyx

    Need trigger adjustment directions for 40XB....

    The ones I have found out there are for the 3 screw version of the trigger, not the one with 4 screws. Anyone have a link for me? Thanks! Onyx

    Gunsmithing Difficult to remove 40x trigger adjustment screws

    Hey guys, trying to back out the adjustment screws on my 40x trigger, and am finding that they are practically glued in place from the feel of things. Currently I have some WD40 sitting on the screw heads, hoping to get some penetration out of it into the threads. Any suggestions? I would...

    Mounting a Remington 40x .22lr in an AICS

    Guys, I have seen that a few people have mounted the Rem 40x into the AICS stock, and from what I read, while the 40xb is better than just a 40x, it sounds as though either will work. I am hoping to get an 40x here soon, and I would like to do the same for a trainer, and would like to hear from...
