I think they will, call them

Inletting black would be much easier to clean up than smashed clay!

With the action upright or upside down? Hee Hee!

Then why in the hell the clip slot? You can't charge the mag with a clip with a base and optic installed either. I was referring to when you are charging the mag using a five round clip!X WTF. Is it just for looks?

You might want to make a cut along the left side of the top rail. It will facilitate feeding by allowing the thumb to push the cartridges all the way down into the magazine. Just my .02

Everything must be trued to one common axis. If the threads are not concentric to the bolt raceway to start with, then it will not be when finished. Man, I can't imagine trying to bore out the bolt raceway with as small a boring bar as would be needed. It needs to be reamed, first things...

You ain't gonna polish that out and you ain't gonna get rid of it by setting back one turn, it will take more than that depending on how deep it is. You probably weren't turning it fast enough. I have found too slow will cause this and chatter. Also, make sure you are using the correct...

I am envious, I would have to do it on a manual lathe. Why not just bore out the action and thread it to 1 3/16 thread and thread the barrel to fit? Jimn

I make it simple; i take a piece of aluminum round stock, drill a hole through it the size of the screw and split it. It goes in the three jaw and I use a parting tool to shorten it. Five minute job or less.

* Food for thought on one scenario with a partial re-machine (everything recut except receiver threads) ..... If all critical features of the receiver are biased off axis in the same general direction and all of those features are recut except the receiver threads, wouldn't that cause a good bit...

Not trying to imply anything here; what I was trying to say was it ain't enuf to just face off the receiver. I have seen some of them out by .030TIR. There are some smiths out thee that consider those short steps to be a "trued" action and charge accordingly

You obviously have never set up one of the factory actions and witnessed How bad some are. You are wasting your money on a "truing" job if that is all you have done to it.

My question is this: Why did he even have to D&T the receiver hole in the first place, stripped out maybe? When I first saw this post, my initial reaction was that he had indeed drilled through to the chamber. Jim

Shilen beats out the Timney in my opinion.

Some feel it helps on a big bore. I get $20 per hole for D&T

This one is a 338 Lapua; client wants a picatinny base, any ideas who has them. used would also work. Emails work best for me: [email protected] Jim

Is this the kind of $hit we get from an I-phone? What ever happened to punctuation?

I stand by my original posted reply, IT IS THE CUTTING FLUID YOU ARE USING. Jim

Close is only the Post office away.

What did it come off of?
