Headspacing on Fireformed case?
Published (2009-11-25 07:17:00)
Just a thought. With a thicker recoil lug, would that leave more of the case at the base not in the chamber? Could you have case head separation? Butch

New Hermes
Published (2009-11-20 08:50:00)
I have 8 different sets of fonts and like the block best. I also have a motorized kit and the things to hold trophies and other odd shapes. One of my real good friends was the southwest sales manager for New Hermes. He used to have a shop full of goodies. A lot of the guys on this forum have bought from Carl. Butch

Bedding questions

IMO, aluminum pillars which are flat topped and not radiused to match the action can also be compressed and are therefore no better than regular bedding. I think caliber is important here

Action Compatability
Published (2009-11-20 18:30:00)
And I mean that literally. The only difference in a 22-250 action and a 308 action is Remington installed a 308 barrel on one, and a 22-250 barrel on another.........jackie

Gents, I've always wondered how a knurled barrel would look. It certainly would be dull, and I imagine quite durable given the right knurl. Be a bit of a pain in the arse to accomplish, though. Justin

This thread has a couple of photos but not a good shot of the rolling spider.Using a headstock spider instead of a chuck will save a couple of inches.

Bedding questions

Someone here smarter than me (which consequently doesn't take much) feel free to help me along. I had some tremendous help years ago from a guy who makes a very nice living designing fasteners for the aerospace industry. The particular subject was in regards to thread shear, tensile/torsional loading of a fastener, and all sorts of other fancy engineer vocabulary words. Long story short, a 1/4/28 fastener snugged up at 40lbs inch...

Headspacing on Fireformed case?
Published (2009-11-25 07:11:00)
The common sense answer would be, "of course it is safe, these cases fit your Rifle perfect". The "PC" anser is, "no, you should always set the Rifles headspace with a proper set of headspace gages, so that in the event someone fired a round in the Rifle other than the ones you are using, nothing bad will happen". This sort of thing crops up quite often, and is probably asked about on...

No way. If anything ever happens to change the relationship - say shrinkage in the stock wood or an overgenerous tightening of the screws - then you could jam the lug into the bedding & bugger up the perfect fit you were aiming for. Tape clearance on it!

Headspacing on Fireformed case?
Published (2009-11-25 08:28:00)
i'll still go back to my question: how did the brass fit/feel prior to replacing the lug ? if it was the same before and after, maybe ok, if not...you do not know, and i would suggest measuring the shoulder length of your brass, checking with a headspace gauge. i dont shoot any wimping loads in 223, but i have not had an issue with undersized fired brass comming out of my rifles. mike in co

Second question--The goal is to bed it so there in no movement of the action within the bedding upon firing. Tight action screws often don't clamp things together well enough to prevent the forces generated by recoil from moving things around if the recoil lug is improperly bedded. Any movement risks re-settling in a different place. Even extremely small changes from shot to shot are ...

Fireball Heat treating is familiar with hardening dies, good turnaround time too.

Odds are your probably ok.
Their are a number of reasons why this could lead to problems which is why quality gauging is a better choice. I think that so long as you don't get carried away with your brass resizing and you ensure that the case head is actually up against the bolt face prior to pulling the trigger, you'll be in the clear and your rifle will work fine.

Phil,
If it was my buy, it would be a perfect candidate to immediately return for an acceptable replacement, regardless of what anybody else says.

The guild stockmakers that I know and use have no trouble using stain. I keep some alkanite[spelling] red stain around for that purpose. It is getting very hard to get. The english walnut on my stock on the Blacksmith thread just below needed no stain. All english is not light. Also pictured here is a walnut blank with just finish and no stain needed. It is English.

What you are refering to is commonly called a Spider. And yes, you can use it to adjust the OD of a barrel, while supported in a steady rest, so that the ID runs true. Or, at least, one point in the ID.
Most craftsmen make their own.
Some 'smiths just put the barrel on a center and claim a true spot on the straight part of the barrel shank to run the steady rest on. Of course, once ...

A lot of rifles with aftermarket stainless steel barrels have this god aweful shiny finish. Now I like a shiny finish on blued chrome moly barrels so it may seem strange that shiny stainless ones annoy me. Is there a chemical avaliable that will dull them down, or is it a difficult job to give them a brushed chrome finish like some shotgun recievers? Maybe I should just go out and buy a Ruger as ...

Butch,
You should post photos of your anvil, forge and post vise. They must be very high quality for you to do work like that.
