Fyi ... putting a long tip on a .0001" test indicator makes it read .0005" per mark.

Good job drew. Got your own druhaul 👏🏼 I bet that shop is fun with drew.

*2:00** Is there a reason you didn't you a pecking operation?* Are you able to avoid deflection? Heating? Do you hone the deflection out?

*1:00** Might be a dumb question. Are you showing a single off for this video?* *I'd run a fixture with 20-25 billets in it and do them all at once.*

.450 Marlin +P+ 😂 Outstanding quality guys.

That fly gave you the finger. After years of machinist YTbers and hundreds of videos, I understood every word. That demo has been classified 'trade secrets' by others, they skipped 90% of what you showed.

I have a question about barrel you did not speak about it. if the barrel made in smooth way without the curves or pattern inside it. does it increase the range or decrease it.

what is the long of the receiver that able to take long range cartridge ?

you make the curves inside the barrel. Is it take the shoulder depth only or the whole barrel .

Love the process, would be interested to hear your thoughts on torquing the action in during bedding versus using compression with elastic or other.

Fantastic explanations! Thanks for putting this video together.

Good video! I would have ordered a rifle from you if I hadn't been accustomed to my Blaser's.

Does the stock Tikka T3x Lite come with pillars? What is the recommended torque spec on the action screws? Tikka manual says 45 or 62 in-lbs depending on if your stock is a plastic base vs metal base. 62 in-lbs sounds insanely high. I’ve heard people get best results between 35-40 in-lbs… after adjusting my trigger pull, I torqued my stock back on to roughly 37 in-lbs. Seems to be on secure and the magazine slides right in… not sure if I’m missing something.

i don't agree to torquing the 10 mm sockets, for a better bedding job no torque must be used.

Fantastic work!

I really don't understand how this can happen..... Its not like you put a 270 in a 30-06 or something else close to the intended round. It never fails to amaze me how stupid people in this world can be. What is most frustrating is that this guy has a 5-7 thousand dollar rifle and is that careless about it. Just goes to show, you don't have to be smart to have money

Can i get it in Austria??

Its cool to see that there is another bohab machinist out there. I do custom marine hardware, but am looking to build a rifle soon. Great info here. Thank you. Gwar rules!

i made CNC hydraulic fixtures for s few years and this is amazingly similar to that

Can youjust make a barrel with the reciever cut into it? No timing and no facing the parts in a lathe. Just one single barrel with reciever cut into it. I know you can't change barrels but how often does anyone do that anyway?

Drew!!!! Thats the real deal!! Holding that bubble wrap up to keep the honing oil from splashing out!! Swiss level craftsmanship!! 😂😂😂

Brandon, Good information, with great explanations about why lot numbers mean so much to accuracy. It would be interesting if you pulled the bullets from 10 or so of each lot of cartridges and weighed the powder charges and the bullets. Also, when you hand load, what differences in velocities do you normally see with the same lot of powder, bullets and cases?

You need someone to work at your shop for two weeks for free just holla

# 4 , # 999 x 999.

What type of steel is used?

Imo Brandon has the best job ever, great video!

A dry wall bit in the Dremel is much better to clean the bedding up. Your welcome 😁

Hi, can you give me the pillar insert lengths in millimeters, please ? Awesome video by the way. Tank you.

This sounds really good guys! Is the scope rail pinned? Do the other characteristics of the bolt encorporate general bench rest action design considerations?

The first lot of precision hunter I found for 7prc was 4gr higher than hornadys published reloading manual. They use other powder and data that isn’t published. It was extremely fast and left plunger marks on cases

😂😂😂

Thank You for putting the word out! 😁

How does the firing pin assembly attach to the bolt?

At 37:39 you can see one side of the lands is visible basically the length of the freebore. This is an indicator that your throat is NOT smooth and concentric. If you put your long stem indicator back in there at the freebore you will see uneven reaming and hopping.......it tends to get worse in 5R barrels too unless you are very careful and mitigate it accordingly.......just an FYI to you and others.

What's the price for the Receiver,Can I get one

I wanted to let you know that thanks to your instructional video I did an excellent job on my rifle! Thank you!

Great stuff brother.👍👍👍

Thank you for showing your details. I am a professor and a 'hobby' gunsmith (mechanical engineering) with a decent home machine shop (high-end manual knee mill, lathe, etc...) who is learning from one of the best gunsmiths/shooters in the country. However, it is always nice to see how others do the same thing. Your method seems to be a combination of what Gordy Gritters and Speedy Gonzalez recommend - a hybrid of the two. Not sure why you use the range rod and then indicate the lands/grooves; probably you just want to get it close enough to make the actual indication easier. I just skip the range rod step and do my initial indication off the OD of the barrel. However, I turn my own barrel blanks, so I am pretty comfortable that the OD is fairly concentric with the bore. Still, as you note, the TRUE indication is off the lands and grooves (mostly grooves, as I have been taught). I also have the True Bore alignment system (which is what I think you are using). A question - do you have a spider on the muzzle end of the barrel? That has been my biggest challenge with the True Bore system - I use a spider on the muzzle side and the True Bore is so long that I can't chamber anything shorter than a 26" (finished) barrel (and that is 'just barely'). I am concerned with chatter if holding the barrel only with the True Bore system (despite the 6-jaw) and not using the spider.

Could you use the release compound to protect the edges of the stock from any overflow?

I would give ya an A except subjective B usable ends up= a Best-selling plus a view point is inside Crafting 2Ends of Awesome. B is a better-side of experience.

🙃

Nice actions but go a little further and put a couple small flutes on the bolt bearing surface like a AIAW to help clear dirt too

What did you use to make your soft jaws? Looks great

Basically it should be a lifestyle you need to get out and shoot and know your equipment and probably reload your own ammunition before you ever think about long range hunting

Thanks for showing the setup for concentricity. I am a novice and didn't understand the angular runout procedure. I don't have that amazing chuck, but I can use shims to get the same effect. (a lot more time consuming but possible).

How much time for one chamber. I think you are using 3 reamers?

Really? Holding the work with the master jaws?

How the heck does one mistake 450 for a 308? I imagin a back woods hold my bear moment.

The stock.... AG composites?

So don't worry about cleaning the crown
