Not if you are using a ball against flat pusher. Yes-if you have "chucked" the reamer hard or are controlling the tail of the reamer with a point in a center drilled hole in the back of the reamer. Jim

TRA I am not sure what is wrong with sharing a caution to others based on what I have seen. There are in fact many gunsmiths that buy actions or just put on barrels that do NOT use thread wires or a thread mic. They use the thread and test method-which works for them. I do not agree with...

Chamber to bore runout does not exist with "floating" holders or pushers like the Bald Eagle. The bushing follows the bore if it wanders and a concentric throat results. There are many ways that have worked and as a machinist and engineer looking at some techniques and look in awe at results...

Phil That is what I meant to say--the mics or thread wires need to be used to determine the pitch diameter (PD) which is the target number. As for pushing the specs--I ended up targeting the ID PD to 1.0264 to 1.0275 based on the samples of many other custom actions that used the 1 1/16x18...

My point was if you use a full profile insert and use thread wires or thread mic to tell when you are at spec, a problem can still occur with crest interference and in MHO a file is sure not the way to take care of that. I have watched folks use full profile inserts and turn a thread until an...

You do not have to start larger with full profile insert unless you want to use od micrometer to determine where you are--much better idea to use thread wires as paul stated or use a good thread micrometer and control to pitch diameter. Threads for most most custom actions should not be cut to...

All manuafacturers of any firearms components have to be registered with the US State Department-some have found that out the hard way. The first few sentences of the ITAR are very clear about that. You do not need an 07 ffl to manufacture barrels, stocks or triggers--yet you need to be...

Al and Jim What I have been told is that if I own the action and sell to a customer and he later returns it to me for a build-it still counts as a manufactured item from me as I was the source of the action. If I also sold him the stock and trigger and then did all the work-it became a taxable...

If you buy actions and barrel them-you need 07 ffl. If customer provides action and barrel it-you just need 01 ffl

There was no 4 Gun when the HOF was formed. The organization of HOF decided to keep it on the same basis as it has always been-right or wrong. IBS did away with Sporter for 1983-1984 and 1985. The three Gun was HB, HV and LV. Did it through membership rule change because the "Sporter" was an...

skeetlee Just one correction--the Borden stock is not a Speedy copy--the Speedy stock is a copy of the Adamowicz R&M pattern stock (which the Borden stock has been based from since the early 90's) from the late 70's and Speedy started making in late 90's or after 2000. Butch's point about...

IBS and NBRSA 100/200 Yard Championships. 1 point for each yardage win, two points for each grand win, 2 points for 3 gun win Classes that count: Unlimited Sporter Light Varmint Heavy Varmint No points for Two Gun or Four Gun Jim

Thanks for sharing that Mark

James It depends on what the issues are --if it is just short firing pin fall, then cut off the firing pin by the needed amount and put in new hole, But if the extraction to cocking is off, then either a custom made cocking piece or recut cam in the bolt until you can get to neutral or neutral...

That is not all there is to it The "assembler's" answer is that all you do is drive the two pins through and adjust trigger weight of pull. However, there is far more that goes into it than that. After Market triggers do not all have the same pick up point on the sear bar as the Remington did...

Boyd Definitely do NOT use a no-go as the standard gauge for teh Ackley. The standard go becomes a no go for Ackley. Ackley Standard chambers are usually .004 to .006 crush on std go. Reason is so that factory brass has shoulder/neck interference in chamber and case is held against...

Chuck does not matter Tasy if you are checking for rotational alignment of the spindle with the ways-you would only need a truly ground in chuck if you are using a test bar. That is why I suggested a slug of 3 inch diameter aluminum and turn it with light cuts to keep deformation to a minimum...

Align hs first before checking tail stock to front of chuck alignment--you should check headstock spindle alignment with ways Chuck up a piece of 3 inch diam aluminum about 12 inches long with 10 inches hanging out of chuck. using sharp toll take light cuts on the 10 inches until it cuts even...

Francis-no secrets here--you would have to talk to Paul about that! Jim

Yes Jerry Yes the Remington design (Borden, Stolle, BAT, Stiller) stop inside front of bolt on empty chamber--however, the Farley's I have had here do not--they have stopped on the CP Jim
