I'm going to cut the tenon off and start fresh. I have enough room and want as long a tenon as I can get. Mostly because I want the first one "right" if you know what I mean. 2 hours ago, fishnut said: The true measure of a good craftsman is how well he can fix his mistakes Well, then, I'm a piss-poor craftsman. Which is fine as I'm in the learning stages. As stated above, I'll cut this off and start fresh. It's all good from here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bully 749 Posted July 24, 2018 This will hopefully save me from myself while I get my feet under me. Its a micrometer adjustable reamer stop. Made by Nathaniel Lambeth. Pretty ingenious piece of kit. Drive the set it to stop short of the shoulder. Drive the reamer in. Then take measurements to determine final cuts. Dial that (each hash Mark is .001) and go. I’m a happy boy right now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bully 749 Posted July 30, 2018 Chamber is cut. Headspace is dead nuts. I have a throating reamer on the way. I'm shooting 110's and I like to hang them out there a good bit. As soon as the throater shows up, I'll get that taken care of and flip the barrel around and cut the crown. That'll do it for metal work. I will be trying my hand at bedding this rifle. Should be interesting. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diameter is determined by the reamer. I know what it is, but I’m using the lathe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted August 4, 2018 So the throating reamer showed up. Having no idea about the dimensional differences of this versus a conventional chambering reamer, I didn't realize that it would not fit well in my reamer holder. And I can't make anything as I am not removing the barrel from where it sits until it's complete. Long story short, I'm waiting on a piece to convert the reamer's shank to a more conventional size. Just another couple of days and I should be good. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TokenEntry 293 Posted August 12, 2018 Very nice! I like the classic wood stock look. *Did you choose wood over synthetic due to the added weight or was it just personal preference? Regards, TokenEntry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
