ken98k Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I just finished recontouring the bridge on the Siamese I'm working on. I didn't really want to do it because the original cotour had a nice concave radius on the sides but the clip area was too tall for a 1 peice base and not long enough for a weaver base.

Did you use a mill, or files/stones? I have a set-up for a drill press but all of my projects are at a standstill as temps are in the low 90's. This is when A/C gets turned on, doesn't work, and I'm swamped.......Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Spent about 10 hours working on the bolt last weekend, and it still looks like crap. Then I discovered the threaded shank on my ER Shaw barrel is about .10 too long. Normally that wouldn't matter but this is a fully chambered barrel that I should only have to set the shoulder back to headspace. Now I'll have to get a finish reamer and requalify the whole works. I'm really begining to hate this rifle but I'm determined to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limpid Lizard Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Those goofy looking marks on the rear bridge are the original serial number. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
