  1. I would use 70S rod for welding, it heat treats good and blues up well. This is the welding rod our welding teacher had us use on gun parts. Burgie
  2. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah! Tinker, you and me both.......................burgie
  3. I took a barreling class with the NRA schools and made a .243 win. using a 98 mauser action. It did not feed worth a tinkers damn. So the teacher showed me how to make a spacer and it worked well for me. This is a photo I have showing a spacer like the one I made, the rifle is chambered for 7.62X39 but you get the idea........ Good luck with your rifle............burgie. Oh by the way the guys gave me a bunch of crap about wasting a good 98 mauser on a short 243 win. but I ignored them and the rifle shoots and works just fine......
  4. Hi this looks like a standard bolt face to me, as far as feed rails you may have to load a dummy round and try it. Good luck burgie
  5. Any action can give up with reloading mistakes. I have two Sporterized Springfields no I did not do it, and they are just fine with handloads. http://www.huntamerica.com/wwwthreads/show...0&page=0#644420
  6. I have bought a couple of mounts and have returned them, the worst one for me was the one from Cabellas. Anyway the guys on a couple of other forums recomended an S&K mount for my Savage. The price was a bit high but the mount has been on for couple of years and I am happy with it. No it has not come loose or givin me any problems in that time. The Savage was not altered in anyway installing this mount, remove rear sights, install S&K mount using blue locktite, install scope and go shooting. The photo is not mine, my camera skills are not ready for posting a photo of my own.
  7. MorgansBoss thanks for the photo, this is just what I have wanted to build. It should be easy to make by anyone that has a drill press. Thanks for taking the time to post a photo of your vice. Burgie
  8. OK great information MorgansBoss, any chance for a photo or drawing of this jack barrel vice? Confucius said, "A picture worth a thousand words" Not trying to be a smart a$$ just would like to build one, this is a good idea you have. Thanks for your time. Burgie
  9. bja105 asked: Question, where is the camming surface that would be softened? A picture would help. Here is a photo of my Swedish mauser bolt camming slot, this is the part that gets soft when the bolt handle has been forged or replaced. The gunsmith should have checked this surface before returning the bolt to you.
  10. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi I am a retired fabricator welder and with my last check I bought a Miller Econotig machine for $1,300. It is air cooled and that took some getting use to for me as I had always used a water cooled torch. The tig welder has been in use since 1994 and works well for me. Here is a c/d from Miller web site that may be usefull. http://www.millerwelds.com/education/tools/#cd TIG Fundamentals - CD $29.95 This CD is for anyone who's looking for a better understanding of the TIG process. Easy to understand instruction. Proven teaching steps. Expert advice. All these factors help to create a more effective academic approach to training. Specific subject areas covered are: system components, process fundamentals, electrical theory, safety and power source operation.
  11. If you have a couple of cocking pieces you could try each one of them and see if the firing pin protudes to specks.
