    Gunsmithing conventional mill cutter speed for stock inletting

    Re: conventional mill cutter speed for stock inletting I used a 3/8 4 Flute Carbide End mill with an extended shank and ran it about 1000rpms (could go faster), worked fine. Just don't run your feed too fast. My 2 cents

    Gunsmithing Ejection/Extraction Problem Rem 700, PTG bolt

    Re: Ejection/Extraction Problem Rem 700, PTG bolt I had the problem of the brass hitting my scope turret then going back in with a factory extractor. Keith lengthened my ejection port so the brass had a chance to get out sooner, haven't had that happen since.

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser bottom metal design IMO. Its just a little thicker there. The DBM sits nice and flush, the action sits right where it should. If you dropped one end down it would tilt the DBM which seems level from end to end so it might mess with feeding. When you...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser the Bottom metal sits flush and looks good all the way arounds but the trigger gaurd is a little too thick for my taste. With some minor machining it should feel and look great.

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser Here are some pictures show some of the differences in design. The surgeon, notice the angles machined at the top of the latch. The A.I, again notice the area above the lever. A.I has the chassis behin the mag well just slightly so the mag...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser Keith I'd rather not drop the DBM deeper than flush, thats where it needs to be IMO. The gaurd just needs some minor material removed which should be no problemo. If I inlet deeper I have to redo the latch and everything els to get the fit it has...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser one more thing! the trigger gaurd is quite a bit thicker than other designs. when inletted for the DBM to sit flush like it should, the trigger gaurd rubs your trigger finger while trying to shoot. I just dont like feeling of anything other than the...

    Gunsmithing Reworking my Howa, NEWCDI DBM LEVER!

    Re: Reworking my Howa, Remington and Mauser Well put Keith. A couple other findings about the DBM is that if you modify everything to fit and function with a C-products mag the A.I mags dont fit and vise versa, do the the feed lip heights. A.I, badger, seekins and Surgeon don't seem have this...
