Would a 12" piece of .500 ground drill rod be ok to use to dial in an action with a set of bushings of course. I'm buying some more tooling and the rod that manson makes to dial in actions is rather pricy. I think I'll try his tapered bushings but I'd like to source the rod another way. Looking on ebay I can buy a 12" piece of drill rod .500 for 15 bucks.
I considered buying mansions raceway reamer and just using that to dial in with, but for now I really don't need the tool. Maybe down the road a bit I will?
On another note, anyone have any video or links for setting up a single point threading tool inside an action. I've been playing and practicing for some time now and I've come to the conclusion my kennametal threading tool is just to big. I can't see around the dam thing to know when I'm set properly. When I loosen everything up and feel my way in I'm doing ok chasing the thread on my practice pieces. I've considered just using the tap method for the threads and single pointing everything else, but like my good buddy said. If you want to hang with the big boys single point the threads. I have the ability for sure I just need a little guidance. Lee
Typed this on my phone hope the typos are a minimum.
