    Gunsmithing Inlet a McMillan stock to fit a badger action

    I have a McMillan A5 and was wondering if it would be possible to inlet it for a Badger long action? It is inletted for a Stiller Tac 300 action/Rem L/A, I imagine that the inletting would be along the same lines as to what you do to an AICS but I am not gunsmith.

    Gunsmithing Action work

    Is it necessary to lap the i.d. bore on a Rem 700 when blue printing the action. IF so, where does one go about getting the mandrel for the action and what grit compound would be best? thanks

    Gunsmithing "Timing" off in bolt action ?????????

    I have a rem 700 (6.5 x 47) that, i think, the "timing is off." Please correct me if the following problem is not that, and, if it is...how to fix it.

    Gunsmithing 1.450" Action in AICS?

    Was thinking about building a 338 Lapua in AICS using a Lawton 8500 action. Problem is, the diameter of the action is larger than Remington and I'm not sure it would work. Anyone done this before? Other acceptable actions for 338 Lapua that will fit an AICS?

    Surgeon Round action photos

    Well here they are. Action came disassembled but I did throw the firing pin and shroud onto the bolt. I went with the standard Surgeon bolt handle and no base yet. Scope base holes are set to the standard Remington short action spacing and have two small holes to pin the rail as well. The lug is...

    Gunsmithing action truing

    just wondering i realise that truing a standard factory remmy action is the norm to squezze out the accuracy but, I was wondering if you took say a surgeon action and a shilen barrel, would there be any machining in this or would it just be a Q of mating barrel and action and headspacing?
