I've watched this 5 times now, absolutely quality work both on the lathe/mill and the camera. Keep this content coming! KZfaq needs more gunsmithing.

Geoff, I do not take much solitude in KZfaq videos, but appreciate yours. It is not hard to tell by the way folks perform behind the camera and in the intricate steps they take and speak of, just how professional they are and meticulous their efforts in obtaining the best result possible. And it is obvious who has been formally trained. It shows whether they are worth taking a bit of education from. You are consciences about your work. My shop is Meisinger Gunsmith & Lathe Co. in Blairsville, PA. This video is one of a few I have seen of yours. Just so happens I am installing an M16 extractor in a customers Rem 700 and I have not done that since school, so I appreciated the refresher and your camera shots. I know you are aware that visibility can often make your mind solve issues that reading a diagram or schematic may not make clear. Your approach is clear and solid. Thanks - look forward to other videos you release. Cheers-

Great video! anyone watching this should note that the counter-sunk inside diameter of the breech (part of the "three rings of steel") must also be enlarged to allow the free lateral movement of the extractor.

Nice job, now looks like my Mauser 1891 bolt!

I also keep bits of old barrels around just for this purpose. I add a bit of a chamfer to the insert once it is soldered in to aid in the feeding/chambering process. The "Good Idea Fairy" tells me that adding information like the flux/solder that you use to the comments section would go a long way toward educating the viewers. I just found your stuff today and have subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Had a question sir. I was curious if you’d be willing to talk about the fixture setup you used in your lathe for the bolt. I’ve been looking for more efficient ways to work on Rem 700 bolts in my lathe. Curious what you used.

Are you using high speed steel inserts for cutting the bolt spacers?

@wonderboy487 3 жыл бұрын

what was the flux that you used was it a mix of flux a solder?

@lidijabacic8348 9 ай бұрын

can you do this on mauser m18?

I never saw you align the bolt. That's pretty important, right?

@justinmochi7323 2 жыл бұрын

Question. How do you precisely turn the bolt 90% for the pin hole? Im assuming there's a special vice or fixture. Or is there some way to be precise about doing it by hand? Or am I just overthinking this

@wyomingguncompany3327 2 жыл бұрын

Turn the jig 90 in the vise (don't remove bolt until complete). Works great!

@sashalakota8292 3 жыл бұрын

can you do this upgrade to a Winchester post 64 model 70 bolt?

@wyomingguncompany3327 3 жыл бұрын

I would suspect it wouldn't be much of an improvement over the built-in extractor. Since it's machined into the bolt lug by the factory, that may present some issues.

Is all of this work more or less expensive than a full custom action?

@precariousbyte 3 жыл бұрын

Paying someone to do the work? Almost certainly more expensive than a precision Remington action clone. Just google LRI and see how much they're charging for a complete once over of an action if you need a ballpark figure for the labor DIYing it but don't have a good lathe, a good mill and a bunch of good tooling? LOLOLOLOLOLOL Doing work like this on a OEM 700 is more about the process than the end result, especially considering how saturated the market is with high quality 700 clones

@wyomingguncompany3327 3 жыл бұрын

As with everything, depends. Definitely not more expensive with us. It's a matter of whether or not you want a robot to do it, or a skilled human that's carefully checking things all along the way. Much more "custom" as well ;-). It's actually much less expensive if you already own the M700 and we guarantee excellent accuracy with a quality barrel. Get in touch for a quote/estimate for your needs and budget, thanks for watching!!

I would just like to say that this video is an awesome display of true gunsmithing talent and there is no doubt that you are a good one. But I have to ask myself, "why do this now"? I have a Remington 700 magnum rifle for hunting and I have put over 100 rounds through this gun and i had zero trouble cycling the action quickly and getting my round extracted. Why wouldn't he just have you build him a gun and go out and shoot it, test it and if there's trouble, then have you do these things? For the money you have to charge him to do it, It seems more practical to do this first. Thank you and again I am really impressed by your gunsmithing talent!

At this point Remington parts are getting scarce and the quality is VERY suspect.Yes,the stock design works well for seasonal hunting and mild amounts of shooting.But,If you want to bet yours or someone else's life on your rifle running perfectly this modification should be done.You can also replace the AR type extractors yourself without the special tools the Rem snap ring/clip design requires.
