Gunsmithing anyone ever consider a morse tapered reciever

[maccrazy2]

I was reading up on bedding actions and thinking about glued in actions on benchrest rifles and it got me thinking about using a morse taper design to build a tapered reciever and and a matching tube in the stock. I don't think it is a practical idea but for a single shot rifle it would give a precise and repeatable union for the action to be removed from the stock. Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

Re: anyone ever consider a morse tapered reciever

Well , the morse taper is made to come loose with a little bit of force but they will get stuck on you if their not clean and lubed , I think that if you were swapping the actions in and out of a stock that it might be feasable but their is still some room for trouble , I rather see one setup like a MAK tube gun useing a bit round recoil lug and an outer nut to lock the action into the stock like the way a pipe union works.

Still any time that the action and stock are not skin tight their is room for error , hence the realy accurate BR guns actualy being glued to the stock and on the tube gun mentioned above their will have to be some slack between the action and tube reciever or it will very come loose easly , I guess some sort of taper here would fix that though. Again the scope would have to mount to the tube reciever and if the action and barrel diden't hit the EXACT same spot each time it would never be repeatable.
