    Gunsmithing Limbsaver Recoil Pad install

    Finally got around to starting the install on my grind to fit recoil pad. This is going onto a HS 700P stock. Thought I would post to show how easy this really is. You just need to take your time and try to remember that you can't put the material back once you grind it off. To the pictures...

    Bolt knob install

    I had a local machinist do a bolt knob install for me tonight. He did an awesome job. I think I have him convinced to start offering this as a service to everyone else. We are talking about producing our own parts and knobs. They have several 3d cnc machines as well as cnc lathes...

    Package arrived and former trigger removed. The Jewell's sear looks like it is held in place by a small pin on the left side in a small circular housing. I have a tendency at having to do things twice so I want to install it correctly the first time. After the trigger in installed, do I then...

    Gunsmithing Timney Install on 700

    I am in the middle of installing a Timney trigger on my 700. Of course when I tapped out the pin with the bolt release spring it flew across the room and is yet to be found.
