Dude, Those are really "crappy" videos. You should be ashamed of yourself. But all things considered that's some funny stuff right there. Thanx for the Chuckle.

Many sources reported hundreds of thousands to maybe as many as a million for sure. So why did the Left-Tard controlled MSM weenies say tens of thousands? Because they can.

At the very least there will be bolt face/extractor issues. The 35 rem base is .460" dia and the original 7x57 your rifle was when new is .473". You said,...... "The sights were heated and turned 180 degrees to prevent setting back and rechambering. It headspaced when seated, but the sights were upside down."...... Am I reading this wrong or missing something because? Changing the sight location would have nothing to do with the headspace being correct. Nor prevent the need to set back and reheadspace. But if the barrel was set back and rechambered that could cause the sights to clock at 180 out.

Way to go Dude Good choice of weapons also. Hope you and she enjoy many years of shooting.

OUCH! but didn't hurt for long. The General always landed on its wheels.

Well Snort, Not really advice, just a if it was me comment. Shoot em. See how they do. Then decide what if anything needs doing. JM2C

Sounds like you had a few moments of Severe Pucker Factor.

Could the rings possibly be Conetrol's? A pic would greatly help ID.

You didn't say where you were hurt. If on the job, it is illegal in most states to terminate someone for a job related injury. Truly sorry to hear of your back trouble. SUX! BTDT.

Bases look to be either Lyman or Unertl not sure which. I think they were interchangable.

Dang! 11 holes in reciever. Do you fellas have steel eating termites back there in Okiehoma?

Looking Good

I have the distinct impression that old Carl and Pop will become best friends come December.

A noble project to return an old American warhorse back to shootability.

I LIKE IT

Yep, That's what you need. For a one off you can rent it here. http://www.4-dproducts.com/ Keep the pics coming. That's gonna be a sweet little rifle.

What reciever is to be used for this 8mm? Will it be a single shot? Magazine fed repeater will have issues with COAL unless a magnum lenght action is used. As a single shot, sky is the limit on COAL. A one off custom 8mm heavy barrel sounds way kewl to me.

Heller and now McDonald are just 2 small steps in what will be a long hard journey to reclaim our right to bear arms. LibTards are at the forefront of all the gungrabs that have been going on since the 60's. With that as a indisputable fact. It is the Lib-Tards who claim to be educated and enlightened. With all that education and enlightenment why can they not grasp the simple concept imparted in a single sentence. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

HOOOORAH!!! SCOTUS HAS FOUND FOR MC DONALD IN MC DONALD V CHICAGO.

gun nutty, The method shown in the link is perfectly feasable and plenty strong. Matters not which metal is used in my method, steel or brass because the purpose isn't tensile strenght of the metal threaded dowel it is to simply bond/lock the endgrain section of the stock behind the recoil lug and mag well. On some actions I do the same between the trigger group and the rear action screw also, such as Mausers. I could just as easily use brass rod. Steel all thread is my choice because it is lighter, cheaper, and more readily attainable. My method does not show on the outside of the stock at all so there is no issue of which is easier to blend to stock contour. If you ask 10 different folks who are experienced in epoxy bedding actions you will get basically the same answer with at least 10 different variations on the exact methods, materials, and procedures used. None of which are necessarily more right than another, just the preferred method of that individual.

I use a very similar system on every stock I bed. Without drilling all the way through though. I carve a slot perpendicular to the stock behind the mag well and another larger one behind the recoil lug. These are blind slots that cannot be seen after action is bedded.. I make slots as wide as feasable and use 10-32 machine screws behind mag well and 1/4-20 threaded rod to reinforce recoil lug.

How about a picture of the break to better ascertain what will be required to repair it with the best result? Generally, I rely on steel all thread rod for its strenght and gripability with epoxy compounds, such as Acra-Glass or Devcon 2 ton epoxy. note.....fast setting epoxy is to be avoided for this type application. Obvious short working time to get things aligned and clamped. Also they are more brittle than the slow set types when fully cured. The extra set time allows the epoxy to more deeply penetrate the wood before setting up creating a much stronger bond. JM2C

rivitir, How about a link?

WOW, THAT'S SETTING THE BAR AWFUL HIGH
