Gunsmithing Surgeon 300 RUM Medium Hunter Build.

[LRI]

Here's the parts list:

Surgeon 1086 Action. (That was my Platoon number in bootcamp!)
Krieger stick
LongRifles, Inc. Rem Hunter stock
Sunny Hill Hinged floor plate (personal favorite!)
Our small parts
Squishy stuff from Pachmeyer

So it begins!

First is getting the showline edge of the stock blank squared away. My "NASA Calibrated" belt sander makes quick work of this. It can also get you into deep doo doo if your not careful.

A slight low spot back in the receiver inlet portion. If it extended all the way to the edge, we'd fiddle with it. Since all this gets machined out, it's not a problem. Now I've got a qualified edge to set up from.

Here we go again. It's just after the first hour of 24 and now I have to wait to see how Jack is gonna kick ass.

Chad - are you making the stocks there in-house (I understand you have a mold or two) or is one of the other stock makers making them to your specs?

Great work as always Chad.
Always interested in seeing how other people hold their actions down when bedding.


Wish we had a guy like you near by to inlet stocks.
Its great having Mcmillan near by but not for that reason. Hell they're so busy that they send some work our way.

Ok, shifting gears a bit. The owner decided last minute to make a stock change. She's running now and will be ready for bedding here in just a few moments. Running the barrel channel now in fact.

Coming along well. . .

Re: Surgeon 300 RUM Medium Hunter Build.

I think it is easy to build a rifle.....then I see pics like this and understand why it needs to be done right as opposed to being done twice......

Question Chad,

When you are doing your bedding, do you allow the compount to "set up" slightly before you drop it in? Or do you drop it in right after you pour it?
