been fooling with metal working.

Made the die with a grinder and a bowling ball,couple of pieces of leather in between as a buffer. not sure of the tonnage on the jack, just a cheapie from the auto parts store.

domed all the buckles with a cup/ball type die and a hydraulic jack, buckles are 1018 cold roll steel 1/8" thick.

Thanks guys, got these knocked out yesterday. think Im gonna get serious and start taking some orders.

spurs and buckles are 1018 cold roll steel with silver, copper and bronze overlays soldered on.

been fooling with metal working.

make spurs and buckles

made this buckle out of 1/8" steel, hand cut silver and hand engraved. Ready for fur season to start!

Never thought of the 22-204, def a contender. Barrel in question is a 9 twist kreiger. thinking about pushing the 53 grain tsx 3500 ish. thanks guys.

yes on the AI, have a couple, just like to fool with different chamberings, and I like the long neck on the magnum.

thanks, thats what I was thinking also.

Have a .223 I am considering rechambering to 222 remington magnum. How much would it need to be set back? Shank on this barrel is already short, thanks, John

Czs' really are pretty tough to beat. I have had 54 actioned annies and what not, and my 452 will hang with most of them, all for $350 bucks. Very nice build sir.

I had a couple soft ones too, wore out in short order. I went with Wyatts on the next build , and after a little polishing of the steel mags, they feed great and seem pretty bomb proof, YMMV.

Finally got it put together. doing a wood stock is a PITA. Smithing was done by Performance Rifles out of Idaho. Here is some pics.

They are worth it, my sako 75 in 17 rem is super accurate, and love the factory det. mags. Also have an old L461 with a heavy .223 barrel, really good shooter. Probably not a good action for say a .223 AI I wouldnt think though, prob have issues with seating depth, the sako small actions are...

I would get a Redding FL die and a redding comp. seating die and call it a day. Simple, and you can load superbly accurate loads with this set up.

I would say thats a pretty fair trade for both parties.
