hehehehe oh yeah!! Jackie there's nothing i love more than to see the swarf fly.... We have an old chinese 70's vintage 30" x 20' in our workshop.. I love to get the old girl wound up with a 10mm depth of cut and a heavy feed rate and just stand back and let her go!!! You pretty much need...

G'day John Yeah bushing would be another option.. I was just unsure how big you can go with the bush as the damage is quite a large percentage of the boltface.. It's also well into the ejector hole and this would need to be re drilled if a bush was installed.. BTW we haven't seen you at the...

G'day gents.. Just looking at buying a second hand rem 700 and this is what the bolt face looks like.. :eek::eek: It's absolutly dumbfounding how any shooter could let it get to this point. The rifle has a match grade barrel (bore scoped and looks good) and is chambered in 17 Remington...

Ahhhh thanks for that... Out here in OZ we would call a plug tap an "Intermediate" tap. Cheers Leeroy

Not trying to be a smart ass but isn't a plug and bottoming tap the exact same thing?? In the US they are known as bottoming taps but out here in Australia and Britain they are also known as plug taps.. Cheers Leeroy

If your only going to be doing one through hole, by hand, then an ordanary HSS taper or intermediate tap will do just fine. If it's a blind hole then you may also need a bottoming tap. You can just use the bottoming tap but these are a little harder to start and require more force to cut the...

G'day Mate.. To answer the above questions simply is that yes the spindle nose and the internal Morse Taper can have some runout and for what we are doing it's not realy important. What is important is that the bearings are good quality and should have zero play. If there is zero play in the...

G'day Guys.. I've recently been working up some loads in my new 6.5x47 lap. I've working up a load with some CCI BR-4's, Berger 140 VLD over 37 Gns of AR2208 (Varget). Currently getting arround 0.4's at 100 yards with a 10 thow jam. Velocities are arround 2775 Fps. I am well within the safe...

It's ALIVE!! Well after a little over a year and a half i have finialy finished this project.. The last week and a bit i have been busy coating the stock. I had a major set back last week when the finial coat of matt urethane didn't fully set. I'd had the half tin of matt for about 6 months...

The things you read... +1 Cheers Leeroy

G'day All I know that this is not realy a benchrest question but here goes anyway.. Well now that my action build is coming to a close i have a few other projects in the pipeline.. The first one being my Marlin MXLR lever gun in 308 Marlin express.. I bought it a few years ago and it shoots...

G'day Clark The pik stuff is plasticine. Cheers Leeroy

More Pics Mock stock fit up was pretty good.. Pillar bedding... And finialy added some bling.. So thats it for the action it's finished! :D:D:D Hell it only took 18 months.. The stock has had 5 coats of clear gloss polyurethane with a final coat of satin. I've rubbed it back...

G'day Mike Mate it's unlikely that Butch is going to give you some detailed drawings of his rest so you can build one. After all he's in buisness to make money and you don't make any money giving away your designs.. :D:D I have built my own coaxial rest and i have some autocad drawings of it...

Best fix is the helicoil.. Not cheep to do it your self as the kits are a bit expencive just to do one coil.. Any good smith or machine shop will have them though and i couldn't see the job taking more than about 15-20 min.. The benifits are you can keep to the original size bolts so no...

G'day Guys Well i have finialy made some more progress with the action. I had sent the action out to a local smith for a dose of good old fassioned rust blueing.. I got the Action back from him late last year and he did a surpurbe job on the blueing. The pictures don't do it justice at all...

A good bede blast would be just about what you need to do.. Glass bede blasting will give you a nice uniform matt finish on stainless.. Be sure that the blaster has not been used to blast plain carbon steel as it will cause rust to start on your stainless barrel. I clean out and refresh the...

G'day I'm after some info on converting a standard rem 700 trigger to a 3 lever. Anyone have any pics or drawings of the modifications and new lever required? I would realy prefer just to fit a Jewel BR trigger but buying one here in Australia you need to take a 3rd mortage on you home to...

Some test firing G'day Guys. Well an oppertunity presented its self today to test fire my action.. I had decided to chamber up an old 6mm Barrel for the testing in 6x47 Lapua. Load data for this cart is a bit thin on the ground but i had some data from a "Gun of the week" on 6mmBR.com. A good...

G'day guys.. Been offered a sako L461 with a match SS barrell chambered in 222 remington. Was wondering how i would go rechambering it to .223 rem? It's a fairly skinny taper and theres not enough mean left to totaly cut the old chamber off. At best i think i could set it back mabe .250...
