  1. Just curious if the reamer sharing coop is still active. Have a reamer I'll probably loan out in the near future. Bob
  2. Ken, I already gave the gauges, Was just wondering if the reamer wouldn't work. Bob
  3. I found a US 30-06 military reamer, 1903 Springfield. I'm building a 30-06 for my son and want to know if this reamer is OK to set head space after I install the barrel?
  4. Spiris, What kind of stock do you have on you Turk? Bobg
  5. Ralph, Could you keep us posted on your 35 Whelen build. I'm planning on the same build latter this years. Thanks, Bobg
  6. Spirits, are you using an arc welder? If so what rod do you use? Bobg
  7. Tinker, I'm rebuilding a Turk, bought a Remington 700 barrel that is rethreaded and short chambered to 30-06. I'm going to give this one to my son in Alaska and I wanted it to be chambered so that he could just buy ammo off the shelf. I have another Turk that I may must rechamber to 8mm-06. Bobg
  8. I found a set of U.S. Ord. Dept 30-06 headspace gauges. I'm not familar with this type of headspace gauges, but I'm going to need some when I rebarrel my Turk. Will this set of gauges work or are they something special? Bobg.
  9. You don't need a spacer/washer between the shoulder of the barrel and receiver. The barrel will seat inside the receiver on the C ring, the shoulder of the barrel is the secondary shoulder. You can by A&B short chambered threaded small shank barrels from Brownells and Midway for less than a $100. What's the diameter of the barrel threads in the receiver? Small shank barrels have a .980? diameter and large shank barrels are 1.1" Bobg
  10. Don, Nice looking wrench and vise. I wish I had access to a mill. We do have a big old drill press at work and I think they have bits up to 2 inches. I'll have to check. Sent the payment for the barrel today. Bob
  11. Ken, I spent 10 days in Fairbanks in early August. I had a granddaughter born 10 weeks early, so we spend a lot of time in the NICU. My son lives in Healy, hopefully I'll make it up next summer. Gun Nutty, I do have access to a lathe and I may this time cut the barrel to remove it. We have a newer LeBlonde with a six foot bed and a older South Bend with a four foot bed. I like the South Bend better, it always takes me an hour to figure out all the levers on the Le Bond. Bob
  12. Hi Ken, Thanks for the advise, I'd seen the internal wrenches, but don't know a lot about them. I just bought my first Turkish Mauser and I'm going to rebarrel it to 30-06. Will probably give it to my son in Alaska. Where in Alaska are you from? Bobg
  13. I am going to be rebarreling my Turkish Mauser and don't have a barrel wrench or vise. Can you chuck the barrel in a lath chuck(lock the chuck) to remove the barrel or will it not hold it? Also I've seen receiver wrenches that fit into the receiver? The one I seen had a bar that was the same size as the lugs on the bolt and then a rod welded to it. Would these work? Bob
