    Gunsmithing my solution to one set-up bolt truing

    i saw a discussion here the other day about bolt truing and hating to use the steady rest. i came up with a simple solution that allows all operations to be done in one setup, and no steady rest. it was so obvious, once i thought of it, it was one of those "why didn't i think of that before"...

    Gunsmithing Hey all, 6.5 / 270 Bolt

    I have a .270 and am curious if that bolt face will work with a 6.5 284. I know, I know it may be dumb, but had to ask just in case. Its a 98 Mauser if it matters. I know many Rem .308 and 30.06 bolts work on a number of other calibers. Pardon the stupid question. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Barrell recessed for bolt with a Surgeon SA .308?

    Hi Guys, Given that the Surgeon tread is .950" long compared to the Remy .700" tread, does a barrel which is to be fitted to a Surgeon SA .308 need to be recessed for the bolt/lugs the same as the Remy 700 or can the bolt sit flush? Regards, Irishrifle.
