Oh dear it's in another bubble
Very poor planning

I have finished the Chevy engine and now starting to reposition the spring mounts on the 10 bolt rear end after having replaced the outer bearings and seals. Another wee project is to make a tap to fit a new magazine tube in a Turkish shotgun. The early models were very weak in the thread and the later ones are an increased diameter to solve the problem. It is easier to make a tap out of silver steel than buggerise around setting up the receiver in the 4-jaw. Some piccies attached.

I'm going to make a home made gun vise with what ever I can find round the place

hi i have a friend building a 9mm bolt gun on a ruger 22 hornet action,i have an anchutz action im thinking to get made into 9mm also,after the lockdown for me. anyone else made a 9mm bolt gun cheers

Mauser 98 Action
Kongsberg 28" Hammer forged barrel
Timney trigger
Bedding job
Cheap paint
Bolt lapped with grinding paste
100% Wind up job against my Swedish mate.
Still got a bit to do with it,but it's pretty much there.

This is what we will all be like in 2 weeks @norsk has a head start on The Lock down

500 express safety catch spindle and lever roughed out
Spindle has rough tapered square on it
Now i need to drill the safety lever and start to file the female square taper in to that.

I expect this will take all afternoon to smoke for it all together.

Nice work to have to do, good luck on it !

That went ok
Not perfect yet and still need to finesse the exterior of the lever
Spindle and detents all work ok.
Might just need to tig on a tiny bit where I filed the safety notch to take up a fraction of play
And I need to re shape the screw head that attaches the square tapers together
