Keen to pick the brains of people more intellegent than me.
I've been thinking of doing a takedown rifle for a while, thinking of picking up a used baikal for a platform as a cheapish project, are some models better than others? looks like firing pin hole needs bushed and what is the best expoxy/ retaining compound to use. Looking to do something in 6mm, no bigger than 08 case size. Extractor doesn't look too bad.
Cheers
Talk to akaroa1 or Micky duck.

Any questions, just ask
Thanks mate, your recent project kinda put the gears in motion for me to do something similar, do you know what model your action is? The one I was looking at is a IJ-18E, id be running a slightly smaller case and load to lower side of pressure so shouldn't be too much of an issue, I understand the fact break open rifles shouldn't be loaded hot.Quote:

I've done a few of them and can tell you all the tips and tricks
30-30
307 Winchester
50-70 Nitro
All vastly more accurate than required for their intended purposes
Mine is a IJ-18E, although the later model ones are better and the non ejector is the pick of the bunch.Quote:

The thing is too find one with a decent trigger
If the trigger is poor there's really not much you can safely do with them
trigger is usable, bit of creep but i think it will be fine for its intended use
I think it was your 45/60? That lead me down this rabbit hole. I figured it was best to start on something not so niceQuote:

So the cheat is.turn rifle barrel carefully until it slips in as a sleave...then use it without ejector.a thin metal rod dropped through from muzzle pops shells easily
Agreed, it's nicer than I thought, and the price makes the project a bit less daunting if I make a mistakeQuote:

Good work, thats one of the better ones to start withQuote:

cheers
I've done at least a dozen bore and linesQuote:

Prefer epoxy
It want too be as close a fit as you can manage.
Don't rely on the epoxy too fill in
Turn it properly
If you mix one table spoon of epoxy only one tea spoon will stay in there
