a rem 700 before and after the "love"

[high country]

I had a chance to snap a finished and factory action pic today. They sure are crude to start with.....and sadly nobody will get to see the important parts of these rifles.....so I thought I would share.

Tell us some more man... the factory is on the right... its "dirty" with what? SOme sort of lok tite or something? What did yhou DO to it to make it better??

[high country]

Well, remington finishes the action with a belt sander....and it is never square.....as seen after a skim pass.

 

So I then finish cleaning up the face and bore it then re cut the threads....

 

I start this whole rodeo by dialing in on a manson raceway reamer.

 

 Here is the surface lug after I surface ground it.....and a stocker.

 

 
And I whipped up a bolt knob for it....

 

 
Just another afternoon in the shop....

As soon as the UPS truck gets here with some other goodies, I will barrel it and stock it with a pattern I am dying to try.

I just did a ruger cerakote on a wood stock.....turned it into a very nice piece. I strongly suggest graphite black with a very matter finish against wood....looks very "cooperish".

[Hornseeker]

Yeah, he needs a volunteer to run it...and I am the volunteer!!!

Was there enough material removed to not use standard threaded barrels or will you cut the threads and thread length for the barrel when it gets to you?  did you do anything to the lugs/bolt face?  Be cool to see when it gets all put together and barks.
