I was wondering if a Remington 7mmMag bolt face could be bushed-up to reliably work with a 30-06 case? I currentyly own a Remington 7mmMag rifle which would suit me fine if I could get the bolt to work with the 30-06 case. I intend to have my smith do the job, if it's something that is a...

Just thought I'd take a moment to provide this update; Since my last post with that above drill press illustration, I had discovered that my simple bench drill-press has a chuck that will indeed open up large enough to accept the 308 sized cases too. I didn't think it would open large enough to...

While I don't think I'd want to attempt to clean an entire case this way, I do like this idea for steel wooling just the neck and shoulder area. This is especially helpful during the annealing process when it's necessary to start with clean brass to better monitor the color change of the brass...

Andy, thanks for the help.... but Iron Oxide? Where the hey do I find that locally? I googled it to find some kids making the stuff on YouTube for pyrotechnic purposes! Ok guys, once again I put my lazy ass to work and started looking other places besides BR Central for a quick answer. (dunno...

I have an old 1970's Thumler's Tumbler. I use the original red rouge media that I've rejuvinated numerous times with paint thinner. But I'm tired of the mess it makes to clean the stuff. So, I bought some new corn-cob replacement media, as well as some oak polishing media. I was wondering what...

Thanks guys for the input, but it was only because of one particular rifle that I found reasonsably priced on GunBroker that I was even considering a rifle with a detachable magazine feature. Lynn, I have no clue what your "velcro" remark was all about.(??) Whether or not the factory...

The main reason why I was considering a DM version of the 700 for a 7mm-08 or 280AI is because I located an excellent condition riflle at a very reasonable price. As I don't hunt, I'm not really concerned about the possibilities of a hoard of beligerant deer attacking me as much as I don't mind...

Never mind gentlemen about the particulars I was inquiring. I have found out that the Remington DM design is just a terrible design that won't feed with the factory mags.

Any reason why NOT to put a "DM" into the equation with a Remington 700 build ?? While I'm still debating between a 7mm-08AI and a 280AI for my next project, I will surely be using a 700 LA stainless action. BUT...is there any reason why I should NOT consider a Remington 700 DM (detachable...

This is the reply I got at another websight; QUOTE; If the bolt that you are trading for does not have a cut in the left locking lug a cut will have to be made in the bolt lug if your receiver has the anti bind feature. Also, I believe there are different cuts in the receiver for belted...

Dennis, Gosh, how simple a test was that!? I don't know why I didn't thnk of that. Yes, I've just now loaded a couple of dummy 30-06 rounds in my 7mmMag magazine and the bolt swept them right up into the chamber. Thanks. QUOTE; BTW, "fine tolerances" and "Remington 700" are a...

Geees.....it seems each day opens up another possible alternative and question. Have patience with me guys. :confused: I want to buy a stainless Remington BDL long action and have a smith install a 280AI barrel onto it. I want the repeater mode to function. I'm trying to get rid of my...

Well, you just acknowledged and metioned those cartridges which are ALL long action cartridges......and you insist that it works flawlessly with this short action 308 based case. That's good enough for me!! I'll keep this gadget in mind when I start the project. It sounds like nice accessory to...

Ray, I appreciate your input and it did not go unnoticed. Due to your positive opinion, I intend to proceed with the project in a long action. Dennis, It seems a lot of folks have bought that Kwik Klip from Cabella's for which I was reading a lot of mixed feedback that they left on it...

Dennis, I googled the "Kwik Klip" to see that it is trigger-guard assembly which converts the BDL to a detachable magazine fed weapon. But, it only comes in blue/black, and I'm plannning on making this rifle in all stainless. But then is what you are indirectly saying is "NO", that I can't...

Before I go assuming what seems obvious to me, I figure I better double check here with some of you guys first .....before I go making any rifle purchase; Will a Rem 700 BDL long action that was originally built to feed a 25-06, 270, 280, or 30-06 feed and chamber my shorter cased 7mm-08AI...

:D:D Naaaaa......it's not Coast to Coast AM radio. It's just the same spooks that will perodically poltegeist my ignore list. :D :D :D

Hmmmm....? Boyd & Elliot.....do you believe in ghosts? I sense a sought of haunting and a cold breeze or two whisk through the thread.

After doing a whole lot of checking into this after I started the thread.....IT AIN'T WORTH THE TROUBLE. You would have to polish the SPS rough surface to a mirror shine which is a job in itself. Trying to go directly to a very even satin like finish would be nearly impossible as you are trying...
