Another pic of the finished work. Because I had gone through the shell of the stock behind the action as well as the loading port relief I needed a solution for both locations. The aluminum inlay works nicely for behind the action and if I had the inclination I would have created a second one...

As far as the rifle weight that is what dad ordered...a score gun in 220 beggs. "That'll never work!", says I. "Maybe not, but it sure will be fun." Says he. We shall see.

I am having trouble uploading any further pics so I will try later. Mike

A rifle for my father Posting pics of the finished project. She comes in at 12lbs 11.5oz amd balances about an inch in front of the receiver. I epoxied in a slug of a barrel into the butt stock. I had drilled and tapped 1/2-20 threads so dad can pull the weight and put on a light barrel to...

I am sorry to report that we have to cancel the match at Bell City for this upcoming weekend of August 15th due to a death in the family. My beloved grandmother passed at 91 yrs of age and the internment is this Saturday the 15th. Please let any shooters that you know who may not check the...

I wanted to first thank everyone who came out for the shoot this weekend at Bell City. We had great weather and short of a few technical issues things went well. For any match directors who run a 200/100 dont forget that the computer program wont break grand agg creedmore ties the right...

We were all shooting for second place this weekend as it seemed like everything we tried to throw at him he had a response for...even tried to get him to take a few extra nips on Sunday night with no luck! Randy is definitely at another level and to shoot two guns as well as he did inn the...

If you are shooting on an incline might I also throw in the technique of pinning the rifle with your shoulder and no hand pressure. our range is on an incline at 200yds and with a slick bag setup I have lost shots high as the rifle slides back prior to firing. A steady pressure with your...

the joystick can also be rotated to the side to allow for more travel vertically. If you are a right handed shooter rotate the handle clockwise and it will clear the rear leg allowing you to lower the joystick further. From that position adjust the gross movement on the pillars so your cross...

Not that I am anybody, but I did talk to someone who is somebody (who will not post here) and they had the same thoughts as Jerry - that little chatter that you see on one side of the threads is due to cycling of the motor and not necessarily a gear vs belt issue. Mike

And for my machine there is no such thing as a heavy cut really. At most I can take .010-015 (.020-.030 total removal) at a time with barrel steel. The belt just cant handle much more than that and .015 is probably pushing it! Aluminum is a different story fortunately. Just no need to take...

Yes.

"one of the guys caught his sleeve on a protruding block welded on the side of a pipe he was polishing on a Monarch 10EE" No sleeves, no rings, no watches. Apron has a velcro tab that is under the primary material. So is there a way to avoid the stress being induced as mentioned in the...

Jerry, Your post on the south bend heavy ten thread means a great deal to me as I try to move forward with my benchrest career. I want to do the very best I can with the set up that I have as there is little chance I will get permission from the boss to acquire another lathe at this point or...

I will be running hv and lv taper barrels so I will give it a try. Maybe the taper on the barrel will start before the spindle bore. Made a reamer holder tonight and wanted opinions on the design. with this style from the reading I have done a rounded insert in the tailstock is the best way...

Did a mock tenon and thread today and I am very happy with the results. Chamber reads just under .0005 runout. I am just not sure I can get below that point with this setup but I am going to give it my best! I had originally bored out the spindle to 1.220 but I may go back and add another...

Here are some pics for those interested. what you see is the outboard portion of the parted spindle being threaded and a locking collar that i also threaded pressed up against the thrust bearing assy.I still need to refine the fit of the thrust bearing but you get the general idea. I am also...

Boyd, I have threaded the outboard portion of the parted spindle (and yes your understanding of the parted headstock and spider is right on) and have made a threaded locking collar that will press up against a thrust bearing (washer, needle bearing, and washer combo) in order to hold the...

That is a great question, Boyd. The way I did it was to set up the parted end of the spindle in a four jaw and steady rest on the bearing surface, and indicate the bearing portion of the spindle to under .0005 in two places (Chet wanted me to get to .0001 but I just couldn't get there). My line...
