Don was correct regarding my concerns for thin chamber walls.

This is the fixture i used for removing the stripper clip hump https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/bench-vise-blocks/receiver-contouring-fixture-prod985.aspx I never had any problem with it before. I filled in the boo boo with epoxy putty, then painted over it.

Thanks Ken. I was wondering if you were using the brownells fixture or, given your obvious machining skills you had made something up. I enjoyed the pictures of the spider you made for rethreading the action.

I was wondering if it was a chamber wall thickness concern.

That is a cool tip. I have copied that and put it into "the vault" (a 4TB drive dedicated to anything gunsmithing but primarily Mauser 98 info that I can search on by any phrase).

I am going to try this the next time I am crowning a barrel. My 11 degree target crown cutter loves to chatter on larger diameter barrels and changing speeds doesn't seem to help.

Ken,

Do you have a picture your setup is for machining off the charger lip? How did you decide to remove the boo boo's? Since you are coating the gun I guess it doesn't matter how you are filling it. 

I found it very interesting that you rethreaded the action to take Remington barrel threads rather than re-thread the Remington Barrel. Was there a technical reason you chose to go that way?
