You could close the bolt and use feeler gauges to see how much farther you have to go? Great video!

Nice video, thanks

How about a squared flat plate that goes in the tail stock and fix a dial indicator to the action so when you wind it out to check headspace you get an exact measurement?

Do take work from the states nice job

😎👍😎

i have this same duplicator but i am having difficulties attached a small forestock, any suggestions

What make and model of surface grinder is that?

absolutely fantastic ..I am a aspiring gunsmith/armorer ..Never had formal training of course just learning as I go ..I have yet to do any metal work as I do not have a lathe (Other then making parts for black powder) so far my experience has been refinishing/restoring guns..rust,salt and cold bluing as well as cerakote,gunkote,durakote etc repairing stocks, assembling/rebarreling guns ..lots of work on ARs ..I do want to get formal training/certification etc ..do you have any recommendation on the best schools for gunsmithing here in the states? .....absolutely love the video sir and subscribed

That has got to be the coolest looking little blancherd grinder Sr may I ask you who the Manufacturer is would like to get my hands on older machine like that.

Man don't see that much ammunition in many gun shops now......sorry nothing to do with video

Your gunsmithing skills are amazing. I wish I had your knowledge, experience, and equipment. I live in the Ternaical state of New York and because of their Gracoinion gun laws, there are not many gunsmiths around anymore.

Hopefully 3 years later you have some feeler gauges to dial in that headspace lol

For measuring the headspace with the GO-Gauge and how much further you have to go, could you measure the distance (gap) between the action face and the recoil lug when you unscrew the action until the bolt closes? I don't have any experience with a lathe or running a chamber reamer, so I could be completely wrong, but I think you could use feeler gauges to get the exact measurement of that gap and cut down on the number of times the action has to be installed and tested.

Great Video!!!

I dont know whete you are located ? I need a good gunsmith like you !!! Hope you answer. Great video !!!

Why do you say ummmm, uhhhh, ummm so much..!!

when reaming the chamber, why dont you use feeler gauges in the end, for the last mm? saves a lot of maybes and a lot of calculating!

When you get within 1mm of the go gauge closing, couldnt you measure the gap in between the action and the recoil lug with a feeler gauge to get a precise measurement?

I was so wishing you would have gone in two inch increments.

I have the same machine. I bought it on eBay and I love it.

Good 👍👍👍 i like it

Lots of good info here. My experience with my Savage HMR is that heating of the barrel has had a usually large effect on the accuracy, compared to other, larger calibers. Not a problem at all for taking care of varmints on the farm, but it becomes a definite issue that must be managed when aiming for targets with many back-to-back shots. As mentioned in another thread, CCI is the way to go for ammo. I’ve tried quite a few different manufacturers and styles of ammo, including the ones shown in the video, with CCI VNT and CCI V-Max being the clear winners. Not sure why the CCI outperforms the equivalent Hornady, but the results have been very consistent. Also, fwiw, the 15.5gr options were interesting to experiment with but were far too easily influenced by wind - much more than I would’ve predicted - making them essentially useless, IMO. (Or, at least I’m not seeing a use case where 17gr or 20gr wouldn’t do produce superior results.) Anyway, that’s my 2p.

Weatherby's can be super tight

Hey mate, great video and excellent work! If you'd be so kind can you leave an e-mail that I can write to, don't really want to leave my message in the comments here, please.

Very good video. I have an older 700 action I’d love to have blue printed and rebarreled

Bro try the Hornady 140 or 147 ELD. The 6.5 CR shoots better with the heavier round.

Masterclass in gunsmithing, machining, and knowledge. This is the most comprehensive video I’ve seen. Now all I need is a workshop, 150k in tools and 20 years of experience and I might be able to replicate this video. Well done.

Yes, we are very very funny about suppressors in America.

It's such a pitty you voted in Ardern who screwed up your gun laws..

Yap... you true it up nicely... but NO.. you dont blueprint the action, false title... lame click bait. Either you don't know what it really is blueprinting an acction... or you do, I dont know, but is not limited to what you just show. Yes those are the first steps... but it continue with laborious process of actualy blueprinting the surfaces... or blackened with soot. Apply a polish compound on the contact surfaces and manuver the action until surfaces meet almost perfect. This is blueprinting an action and if you charge your client for it... you should do it. Otherway is pure deception and fraud your client... and disrepect your fellow trade members that actualy do what they promise.

Nice video. But did anyone noticed the dead spider hanging on the wall 😂

I bought one of these rifles cambered in 22-250, it is a geat gun! Action is smoth, trigger pull is perfect and consistent, just feels great in yur hands.. its a groundhogs wost nightmare Glenn.

Really really informative video, glad i stubled upon it!!!

Oversize recoil lug, pinned. top rail screws oversized, and top rail pinned. Minor diameter of receiver threads. Receiver threads. Bolt handle threaded for interchangeable knobs. Sako extractor and ejector mods... thats before firing pin, firing pin hole/sleeving and spring mods. Close and OK...not good to great! Thats before receiver reaming and sleeving (there is another method I haven't seen yet)

I get the complete opposite out of my rifle..I’m assuming your using a newer rifle bc the 30g did well

Got to love the Kiwi technical jargon, "it takes the boom away" that's PHD material

i bought mine not too long ago and i love it. yes it has a bit of feeding issue in the beginning but if you use a firm hand it will feed every time. quite a difference between 17gr ammo and 20g ammo, so pick what works best for you and stick with it for consistency. at $189 USD w/o a scope is a killer deal and in my opinion your getting an amazing deal because this rifle is by no means junk or built poorly. its not high end, but it is cheap, dependable and a great utilitarian rifle that can roll around the truck, get beat up in the woods, thrown in the bed of the sxs and still deliver.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing 👍

I bought one about a year ago... Me and my 10 year old love shooting this gun .. Is very easy gun to shoot and love the way it sounds

Great review. Not many people do a proper accuracy test. These carbines are surprisingly accurate. Greetings from South Africa.

This is one of the better reviews I’ve seen of a rifle in a long time. Very thorough in giving all the details. Something a true rifle crank like myself appreciates when shopping for my next rifle. Good job. Well done

I bought one and I love it ! A flashlight and a Red dot and it makes a great home defense rifle ! Mine really favors 147 gr. rounds ! I have 147 gr. HP's for defense ! Accurate and reliable !

This is fantastic

Manson reamers are affordable and the highest quality. Parkerizing will also tighten things up and if you work the bolt a few hundred times it will loosen back up to where it was. I go from the cleaning tank of boiling water straight into a tub of WD-40. My AK I parkerized 7 years ago is still doing great.

Wow I didn't even know New Zealand had guns except for police and bodyguard's for the wealthy . Neat.

Fascinating Greg! Excellent work, thanks for sharing! 😎

I know I'm behind on finding your channel but I believe that you are really informative and full of information. Great content and knowledge and love the accent. You should put out more videos because you really have great presence.. liked and subbed

Do they still come with a threaded muzzle and cerekoted?

Great video! As we all know, "only accurate rifles are interesting." Yes Colonel Whelan, how right you remain! The groups that you shot look pretty good from here. I'm sure your client will be pleased. Would you mind sharing a bit of information on your surface grinder? Looks interesting. Is it a retail item, if so who is the manufacturer? Or, is it something that you yourself have fabricated? I would love to hear about it, and to know if you would disclose any build tips if it is a shop made tool. Be well.

An ES of 36 in first 3 / an ES of 16 on the last three. Plus mine gives me a poi shift of 3 mils (not 10th of mils) right @ 100!
