Here are some misc pictures of blueprinting the action and working the bolt.

I blueprinted the action and sleeved and jeweled the bolt. I replaced the barrel with a Krieger stainless and chambered it for 22-250. I also built a custom in the same caliber with a Defiance action and another Krieger barrel. Great for the varmints out west!

Not sure what that is about but I bought this used and then blue printed the action and installed a new barrel. There is no issue with the receiver. The issues have been with the rails and rings/mounts. As to how I set this up in the mill I will try my best to explain: first I clamped the...

I actually have three lathes. I think I know what you’re suggesting and if I have it right, I can accomplish the same thing in the mill. (Which I just finished up this afternoon) Off to the range tomorrow morning and commence with the testing. This all started when I watched a video on scope...

Horizontally.

Going down one of my rabbit holes just to satisfy my curiosity. Just for the heck of it, I put my Rem 700 action with the scope rings installed on the mill and checked them for parallel and alignment. What I found out was shocking! Nothing with the rings was even close to be in line. The...

I know from experience that you are going to discover things that you forgot you had!

Gives me an excuse to work on a project in my air conditioned shop. Just can’t handle the heat anymore!

I’ll add this. Where there is weld there is warp. Best practice is to weld in undersized bushings and then bore/ream to size. Also keep in mind the weld will shrink the diameter of the bushing if they are bored to the proper size before welding. IOW the pin would be riding on a narrow ring where...

You might also consider lining the inside with some plastic to help the soil release the sides better. McMaster Carr has a lot of choices.

Is that maybe a woodruff key? https://www.fastenermart.com/files/woodruff-key-dimensions.pdf

Just a versatile aircraft. They are also used as ‘Hurricane Hunters’ to fly into the eye of a hurricane and measure barometric pressure. I read that NOAA has two on order to replace what they use now.

It had to be this

Driving south yesterday I spot this huge military cargo plane. But with the sun right behind it I can’t see too many details other than it is a turboprop. It has the profile of a C 130. Then it banked right to make a landing approach to the Green Bay airport and I was shocked to see it had 6...

What Lil Foot said plus I would make it a slight press fit on the shaft. Also would make sure that shaft isn’t bent.

I use my grapple. I curl it all the way back and it will hold approximately twice what my bucket will hold. The negative is I have to load it by hand.

Wow! Just wow!

I am guessing that the auto body people might like this trend. Matching color versus the metallics must be easier. Am I wrong?

Flintnapper pretty much sums it up. How was the hp measured? PTO, crankshaft, at the drawbar? What kind of dynamometer was used for measuring? Were the numbers calculated for temperature and atmospheric pressure? How many hours on the engine?

Which brings up the question of how to find out where they are built?
