@MrOorah0311

You need a left handed bolt for What ???

SGR

[MrOorah0311]

@sgr218 Because i'm a lefty 

[sgr218]

@MrOorah0311

[silver760]

are you using loctite retainer to bond the sleeve to the bolt? Wont this bond be destroyed when you silver solder the handle back onto the bolt?

[sgr218]

I use JB weld and have never had a sleeve come loose. The bolt handle is silver soldered on first and then the sleeve is glued onto the bolt body.

SGR

[silver760]

I note on this project you solder the bolt to another sleeve and then bond that onto the bolt when setting the camming up towards the end,thanks for the reply.

[sgr218]

@silver760

No, that is done b/4 the glue job

Whatcha building? a tack driver? hummm

I had Williams rebuild all my Remingtons as soon as I bought them..

Have you ever built a 6,5X284? I have one built on a 06 action from a Remington, there is only a few rifles I love as much, as for Deer? HU! if I can see them I can shoot them. It has a MOA of 3/8 with 3 shots. At 100 yards. It will drop a Derr so fast you think the Deer is playing possum.

[sgr218]

Yes indeed.

[feedinc]

Nice work! Are you for hire?

[keefer2111]

Pay attention this guy knows how to Blue print a action and build tack drivers.

He knows what he is doing.

Where could I get started in gunsmithing in Canada?

[Axbent]

we had several canadians at colorado school of trades!

[sgr218]

Thanks for the info

SGR

[sgr218]

Sir,

I don't know what the laws are up there. I would think getting in contact with a smith would be a starting place.

[Axbent]

look into getting training as a toolmaker, then work and earn money, buy ALL the books on gunsmithing u can get, and read them carefully. Do gun work in evnings, and work up a reputation. Boring advice, but ive done lots of mistakes, so u can have it for free! :)

[sgr218]

Sir,

This is a great way to do it.

My dream is one day to build my own rifle,your a lucky man.

I'd love to see a pinned action lug fitting film.

Keep up the good work!!!!!

[sgr218]

Well, next time we get one to do we will film it.

SGR

[remington700links]

great film

[sgr218]

Thanks very much. It is appreciated. I enjoy that kind of work and am doing another right now.

[USMarine010]

my dad just got a lathe hes not to good at it yet

[sgr218]

Tell him to hang in there... he won't ever learn any younger. Best of luck

[sxwatson]

I've been looking into getting a lathe for hobby work and I wanted to know what your opinion is of Grizzly gunsmithing lathes? Have you worked with them or know anyone who has?

[sgr218]

The Grizzly lathes are not the quality that for example the Jets are. Jet has been in this country for some time and has a good parts backup where Grizzly does not. I would go with Jet as a starter unit.

[donmopar]

you do realize that grizzly, jet, enco, and the Harbor freight lathes as well as a few others are all made by the same people and only have a small amount of differences in them

[sgr218]

Yes, I understand that. But there still is alot of difference in quality between them in the ones that I have seen. For example the Grizzly is really bad unless they have improved some by now.

[donmopar]

what lathe is being used I really like how it instantly stops. I have an enco 9x20 and it is a little better than the Harbor Freight but I just thought that it was the age of it they were built better when they still had us competition

[sgr218]

I have a Clausing Lathe 14X40 It works well and is very accurate. I also have a second operations lathe which is a early Jet and that is a 13X36. The Clausing is used only for barrel work and smithing operations.
