With respect, forums are about discussion not referencing to long winded compilations of posts that might take hours to read and still not give me the answer in the way I want it. All the above post shows me is a user with no patience and a reluctance to cover old ground with someone who wants...

No thank you. I would much rather discuss/interact with people via a series of posts in a thread that I have started, that is the essence of any forum. If my question bores you then dont feel obliged to contribute further. :)

The guy who showed me how to chamber used the tailstock centre to begin with then with about .200" to go would switch to a floating pusher. In both instances he would use a double sided tap handle which he held by hand to create the resistance for the reamer to cut. His reasoning was that he...

Cost or availability isn't the issue, I use a Brownells style action wrench, it has no provision to add a torque wrench so exactly how tight Im torquing something is purely guesswork. At least marking from point to point can be consistent, considering Im usually working in 1.000-16 or 1.0625-16...

Guys, I dont have a torque wrench set up to incorporate into my action wrench so quoting figures has never really been useful to me. Do any of you guys torque your barrels to a degree or movement figure? On a 16tpi thread it seems to me that once the shoulder touches the action a further turn...

So far Ive only used the 'thru the headstock' method with good results. I appreciate there are many ways to chamber a rifle barrel, between centers being another and then the variations on the themes. Can anyone please direct me to some good articles or forum posts that cover different methods...

Thank you for your opinions guys. 0.100" was just a nominal figure I used as an example, whether we can cut more or less than this in a pass wasn't really the issue for me, it was more about the quality of the finished chamber. Im a former machinist so I understand and have worked with...

My friend has his lathe set up with a pressurised barrel flush system similar to the one used by Greg Tannel, I have used his set up a number of times to build my own rifles and I have been very happy with the accuracy on all of them. Each time Ive set them up in the headstock and dialled the...
