I just wanted to say that I only recently discovered your videos and I thank you for taking the time to share some of this good information. I'm definitely trying to "carry on the torch" so to speak of folks like yourself.
Thanks for showing us how to do this kind of work, I turn 03 Springfields into tack drivers. I love to show off at 200 yards and see the look on the faces of the guys with new $1000 dollar rifles.
Thankyou for showing a series of fantastic videos.
You sir are indeed a skilled craftsman and a pleasure to watch.
If possible would you be able to show a video or comment how the face of a bolt is repaired?
When I was younger I used some very hot loads in my rifle, consequently the face of the bolt has been pitted from the primer being flattened against the bolt face.
How would this be repaired by you as I'm sure there are many reloaders who may of damaged their bolts.
Yes, the 700 is very popular rifle and is a good buy for he money especially if your going to re-barrel later and customize because of so many after market things you can enhance it with.
My dad was a smith and I learned from him. Its called the school of hard knocks. However, I do recommend you go to a accredited college or a vocational school. Start with a general gun smithing class and then specialize.
Thanks for all your videos,your definately an excellent craftsman.The guy at our local gunshop could do with some help from i think,he is pretty rough and ready,in fact i have never gone back after haveing him do some work on my model 700.thanks again sgr218. your worth your weight in gold,and then some.
sgr218-thanks for your reply,I have a question regarding the model 700,I bought an sps a few months back and have had no trouble with it,its in .223, i just bought another but this time its a tactical model 700 in .308, I have noticed the bolts on both a are a bit loose and have some play,is that normal,i also have a sako in .223 and the bolt in that is completely different,its smooth,no play,.Like i said i have no trouble with my 700's,just wondering if its normal.thank you.
sgr218-Thank you for your reply,i should have mentioned its only like that when the bolt is open,i will have it checked.thanks for your help sgr. regards james.
is there like a gun smith class or school u go to learn about this stuff cus it seems like a awsome hobby and if i ever do make a gun how much do u think it will worth
that bolt looks super smooth to operate. though the lugs locking in look worryingly easy to open.

eljamiro,
The slop on most 700's are around .006 which is normally more than the Sako.
