    Gunsmithing Cutting new threads

    I guess we will have to agree to disagree on the tap subject.And I have done barrels on actions that have not been trued up and many that have been trued,and I can not really prove if one is better or not,but I do in my own mind think it cant hurt to true things up. And like it has been said...

    Gunsmithing Cutting new threads

    I agree with this statement. If the face of the action and the barrel shoulder are both cut 90 degree's to the bolt bore race way, then that is what gets things line up straight any way. The threads are just to hold it together. But the threads are still not lined up with every thing when they...

    Gunsmithing Cutting new threads

    A .010" over sized tap will not correct the miss alignment of the threads in a action in relationship to the bolt bore race way.

Make sure you cut a good 60 degree center in the end of the bore after you get your barrel dialed in before...

    Gunsmithing Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please.

    Re: Need a gas port opened up, recommend smith please. You could put the barrel in a vise to hold it,then put a cleaning rod or a alluminum rod that is close to the bore size in the barrel and leave it in the barrel while you ream out the hole.To ream the hole use a small hand held tap holder...
