I am just finishing up the truing of the receiver and the bolt. When I get this done I will post all pictures of the build. I ordered a blank barrel from Shilen (.750) at the muzzle and have made my own bipod, monopod, firing pin, and scope base (25 MOA) and scope rings out if Titanium. The...

This started out as a harmless question about pin sizes that turned to a mess of opinions, which I understand is the reason for this forum. There is no braggin to friends there is no saying that the pin will work better or worse (I really haven't seen anything substantial that lends to the...

Never thought of that, good idea. That's why i come in here, I am not a gunsmith just a dumb ole machinist. Have to learn the whole gunsmith thought's.

Will try the titanium pin, while also am thinking of drilling out my pin about 50% and leaving a .050 wall. I have mixed feelings on both points( spring replacement or lighter pin).

Most internal parts on Japanese cnc's are produced by a small amount of vendors. I personally have worked with okuma, toyoda, mori seiki, mazak, hyundai, the list is endless. we currently have some haas (soft metals) leblond makino (good old machine) mazak H6000 (top notch horizontal machine)...

Problem is i don't see anyone making them for a Ruger M77 MKII

Just wanting the dimensions. (length..diameter etc..) I was looking at the lighter firing pins that are only made for Remington, and was wondering about the differences in Ruger pin to Remington. Has anyone replaced their factory pin with these lighter so called better firing pins to get a...

Can anyone get me the specifications for a remington 700 firing pin. What i am trying to figure out is the differences between the ruger and remington long action firing pins. Friends tend to get touchy when you ask them to tear there bolt assembly apart.

Re: Ruger M77 MKII threads Yes that was a good read.

Anyhow, I should have the fixture for the lathe work on the action done this week and also the Picatinny scope base. After those are done i will make the picatinny base for the 2 swivel lugs on my stock so i can mount a atlas bipod on. The scope i will be placing on my rifle will be a Swarovski...

Farrel makes them to fit Ruger and Murphy Precision does also. Myself i will be making my own for my Ruger 7mm rem mag. Likes the titanium from precision but not the cost.

I am new to the gunsmithing world. Very avid hunter and with my machining background this has me very much untrigued. First build will be my Ruger 7mm rem mag. Second build will be a custom AR15, and then i want to make a serious long range rifle. If anyone can tell me how to post pictures...

Re: Ruger M77 MKII threads Here are the pictures of the fixture to do all my mill/drill work. Coyboy, when I finish the fixture for lathe work i will send pics, I really liked yours. Also, will send pics of rails when i finish them.

i am doing my own action blue print on my 7mm rem mag. the threads on the action, is this a standard thread across all manufactures. Can anyone get me the thread info on the action? I plan on facing the action and the lands where the bolt lugs rest and lapping the bolt lugs, then chasing the...

Thank you very much for the information. I was not liking the idea of a blind hole on the barrel side. Barrel is off and I will just do thru holes. Much appreciated!!
