so I gather the GT super is better choice over the GM model. is this correct. and which other models would be good for engraving barrels and other firearm items.

a GM model also, does this model work well

GT Super engraver would a GT Super be a good one

I know this have been covered before, but which New Hermes engraver model are best to engraving barrels thanks Ron

Thanks all for your suggestions. just could figure this one out as i havent had a problem like this beofre on a receiver thread and they are just like a Rem, meaning no interruption (unlike a Savage) other than the front bolt hole. i desided to pull my setup down, check things out to see if...

Kent, I had look at that kit that uses the inserts you use but i saw on the tool information that that minimum bore dia was something like 1.375" and just seems to large to chase internal receiver threads. or i have missed something. i have chased a number of receivers t true them to the...

Kent, thanks for input on the Warner HS bits. did you get the laydown or on edge tool/inserts? Ron

have been thinking of going that direction either grind one for boring bar or look at the tools by Warner (believe that is correct name). have you tried the Warner tools?

need some suggestions on thread insert help/selection as i keep chipping the insert while trying to true up receiver. have a Howa 1550 that i set up in jig to true face and threads. after picking up thread and after about 2 passes it keeps chiping the tip off and havent had this happen before...

4Mesh/Bnhpr, any suggestions on side and back angles for bit to turn tenons on CM and SS. Ron

Jerry, i read you post again and now see those bits are for crownings and reason for the amount of front and side clearance. i will try and grind similar. i use an quick change post on my 1440 Ron

Jerry, thanks for the photos. do you use the latern post?

PEI Rob, yes i understood what you were speaking of and hope my discussion on my receiver excess play wasnt take wrong as i was only pointing out that this one receiver has way to much slope and having the crests (believe that is right for internal for the bore side) of the threads have been...

I am sure the title has been discussed before but would like to hear from those that use HSS bits for turning CM and SS barrel tenons and the like. i do use inserts for threading and some times for turning but still like HSS bits. but would like to know what angles most grind for the...

Jackie, no problem on the math, that is the reason I posted as I wasnt sure I did the math right myself and as you, now looking for the "best" size to make the stub gage and receiver cut. hopefully someone else will chime in on our questions. Ron

PEI Rob, Thanks for details, I did not figure in a constant. need to read some more as still new to a lot of this. if making the stub gage to 1.092 will that make a lot of slot? I usually have a barrel blank and true my Rem's and chamber/thread barrel to fit which is my perferred method...

4MESH, thanks for the calculations and file. i came up with the 1.1313 by using the formulas in the book as well. Ron

Jackie, being still new to rebarreling and calculting threads I for the most part understand what you are saying and i usually reduce the OD by .005 myself so not to get binding. as i dont have the barrel yet and this is my first large shanks savage I was trying to get ahead of the game and...

Thanks Jackie, appreciate the reply. what i am thinking of doing is making a thread gage for truing the Savage large shank receiver. most of the prethreaded barrels seem to be posted as 1.120. so would the prethreaded barrels be based on a true 1.125 for pitch diameter measurement but have...

i meant 1.120 x 20 TPI
