Need help with a new toy

Save yoursself some time

Jewell or Schilen Triggers will be much easyier to obtain. Canjar no longer makes triggers.

My 40x is together and shooting well so I am not taking it apart. Here is a pic of my Annie 64 with custom pillars and a floating tang.

Lucas will make the guide a little skinnier at the back end, just tell him you have a factory stock, he'll know, did it for me works perfect. Thanks, Douglas
 
looks like your in good shape, all the ones that have been bedded seem to have been used in competition and were well cared for. team 40x has a write up on dating the rifle. some guys that have used those tuning screws place a dollar bill untill contact is made doing the adjustment with the rifle in the rest. just back them off after each range trip. found out the cci standard can be difficult to load as these have match chambers.
 
Ray, did it ever occur to you? that your afraid to take your 40x apart because it's shooting so well, and if you do take it apart it changes accuracy .that in itself should tell you about your bedding procedure. why can't your rifle be taken apart 100 times retourqed and shoot the same as before? I must be missing something.
 
Wrapped a loose piece of papar towel around a Parker Hale Jag and made one pass, removing it at the muzzle. The bore looks as new, and very smooth. The Canjar that I mentioned is in my tool box drawer, as is the Shilen. When the stores open, later this morning, I will make a few calls to locate scope bases, and ammo. I will probably make one trip to the range with the stock trigger, which is well adjusted, just to establish a base line. One thing that I will take along is some teflon tape. In center fire it does a major job of quieting the striker assembly, when wrapped around shroud threads. I will also look at the cocking piece to see how close to vertical (as viewed from the rear, looking down the slot in the back of the action) it is when the rifle is cocked. This has made a difference in CF as well.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Ray, the main reason I asked about the technique of floating the tang is, a fellow posted pics here and rimfire central of that technique. he also posted pics of several targets, those targets would have scored 1500 on an Ara target or 230 on a ir target. he also seemed happy with his suhl. the suhl had a new barrel and rva tuner, just wanted to know if that was the expected outcome of that bedding procedure. the fellow now bedding my jtr stock when I asked about this just said " are you serious" and gave me that look. sooo it will be bedded with the 2 action screws as all mine are.:D
 
slick willy you and tango in your lifetime will never have the reputation or the knowledge of the fellow bedding my rifles.
 
Gene Davis 2500 & Smith

Gene Davis bedded my 40X and,he used his favorite mix and added
Carbon Fiber matting which he cut into short lengths. Action bolts in front of
trigger,rear tang was milled away to shorten the action.
One very fine bedding job. Which shootes very well. :)

Martin,

You missed the point again. If your guy is as good as you say, and I have no reason to believe he isn't, I'll bet that when he's done with your rifle his words would be something along the lines of; "Don't mess with it!".

Boyd, Congrats with the new toy. It appears you have things in check. Keep an eye out with the teflon tape. If you need a jewell trigger i have extras, also have eley ammo, they are different test lots that i have had for awhile, you are welcome to them. Have fun and keep us posted.

Joe
 
Thanks Joe,
The latest...I finally got the Canjar in and working, it had been sitting around and had gotten a bit stiff. I had to laugh. I wondered why the bolt operation seemed to be rough. 'Looked at cocking cam lubrication. It turned out that the front trigger guard screw is a little too long. Loosening it solved the problem. Later this morning I will run down a little vacuum base vise, that has opposing V notches in the jaws that is just perfect for shortening action screws.

Last night while mounting the front base, and struggling with holding the screws, so that I could shorten them by filing, I decided that the very next project that I do will be to build a solid way of holding short #6 screws. What a pain in the neck. I got it done, but it was a struggle.

BTW, a little reminder, we should always check screws, that go into blind holes, to make sure that they are not bottomed. (and obviously those in through holes to make sure that they do not interfere with something like THE BOLT ...(slap forehead with palm of hand, while thinking "dummy, you know better")) Yea verily I say unto you, when you haven't done something for a long time, there is some serious relearning to be done.
