For all the haters yes you do need some special machinery to do this but youd be surprised how much it would cost if you took it to any general engineering shop and explained what you wanted, or maybe youve got a friend in the engineering game. I dont have a lathe at home no but I have access to 1 at work so its not impossible to do this stuff.
Holy Christ, I'm actually having *fun* watching this guys videos. Keep up the great work, man - my entire family is learning how to maintain our rifles per your videos!
Controlled feed action like the Mauser 98, or Pre-64 Model 70. Not to rip on the Remington actions, but the others offer a level of reliability unrivaled by an uncontrolled push-feed action. When you become the hunted, as is possible on a safari, Reliability becomes #1 and a gamble with less is a gamble with your life.
Mauser still manufactures sporting versions of the model 98 in a variety of calibers, including those meant for big game. A little pricey, but it's still a brand-new mauser 98.
The craftmanship to hone that bolt handle was fantastic, and the sound it made coupled with its flawless action at the end of the demo was so good, it I tried to explain it, I may make you uncomfortable Larry. Once again your expertise are amazing
Gotta love all those tools!

if you know to weld properly theres no problem in welding just the ball to the handle. It'll take some more grinding and time, but it's easily doable

The bolt knob should be large for those frantic moments when you are about to experience the inside of a lions' intestine.
