How to Consistently Chamber a Rifle with ZERO RUNOUT! Chambering a Aero Solus in 22 Creedmoor.

[@mikes5918]

Quick tip on reamer chatter - wax paper wrapped around the reamer will usually do the trick. Run the machine as you would and wrap the reamer with the paper and send it home with whatever holder you have. Worked very well for me.

[@DustinDrews1]

Thank you for sharing! But the key is never allowing it to start.

[@wheels2199]

Wow, very impressive! I have only ever done chambering on a manual machine so this was really cool to see. What kind of machine do you use? Do you have any recommendations on a cnc machine for someone who is just starting? Is there any limitations on barrel work using cnc? Sorry for all the questions, I really enjoy watching how other people do things and there is always something you can learn from just watching how they do it. Thanks for taking the time to do this video, it’s amazing to see someone who can make this look so easy.

Amazing video. I'm a home hobby garage gunsmith learning manual lathes and this just blows my mind. I 3D print so that's about as far as I've gotten with G Code (Which isn't much). You do amazing work. Looking forward to more videos.

[@DustinDrews1]

Glad it was helpful! The only difference between cnc and manual is the cnc does the fun stuff for you. You can do the same processes on a manual machine. If I ever get a big shop I will buy a manual machine for doing videos

[@CorwinBos]

You make that look super easy, even though I know it is not. Nice work!

[@DustinDrews1]

Practice and consistency

[@darrellblanchard2362]

29:25 looks like the chuck is turning clockwise and the trubore is turning counterclockwise.

Crazy camera shutter speeds

I appreciate the kind gesture

[@kyley808]

What book would you recommend to learn how to chamber a barrel pls

[@DustinDrews1]

Without knowing where you are at knowledge wise I don’t know where to tell you to begin. Gordy Gritters has a few educational things out. But I have found that much of the information found online and in book form is just regurgitated information from years passed. The process of chambering is laughable to do as a machinist. But to get consistent and repeatable results is a costly undertaking. I will be producing lots more videos in the future. God bless, Dustin

[@RyanV133]

Well detailed process, I've appreciated the detail and thoroughness. Where did you find the long indicator arm and did it take any special adaptation to mount to the interapid?

[@DustinDrews1]

Long Island indicator. No just get the one with heavy springs

[@wiredodger60]

Dustin. Nice job! 2 questions if you please… What barrel blanks are your “ go to”when building up a project. Next question… why no “cats paw” to align bore true to center? That precision true 6 jaw have more adjustment than normal to align the bore? What am I missing there? Best to you.

[@DustinDrews1]

I build with whatever the customer wants. But most of the barrels I use are Wilson Arms. They have proven over and over to satisfy out customers expectations. The truebore chuck does everything a cats paw Does and more. With no chance of bending the barrel.

[@AndrewG-fd8lw]

Hey Dustin, have you ever had the barrel slip in the aluminum bushing? Do you use any rosin inside of them? I’ve cut a few tapered bushings and indicated them in. After cutting threading or reaming it’s got .0008-.0015 runout. Appreciate the detailed videos, nice work.

[@DustinDrews1]

Without knowing your set up. I would guess your run out is coming from not boring your chamber square to the bore of the barrel. Tapered bushings don’t move in the true bore system

[@englishrifleman6556]

Very Nice Good Work Sir.

[@DustinDrews1]

Many many thanks

[@DustinDrews1]

Many many thanks

[@rockylongbrake1703]

Nice work!

[@DustinDrews1]

Thank you!

[@titter3648]

If you make a expanding mandrel to put in the bore it would be easier to indicate it because the indicator would not jump around in the lands and grooves.

[@DustinDrews1]

That adds one more tolerance.

[@worland89]

Makes me want to get my own CNC lathe. CNC programmer/toolmaker by trade, but all I program is mills for die blocks.

[@DustinDrews1]

I may be asking you questions! I just got a Cnc mill. With a rotary axis!

[@DFM89]

Where can I get one of those brown and sharp indicators you use with the 5 in stylus??

[@DustinDrews1]

Long Island indicator

I love that everyone is making 22 creedmoor's! Leaves more 6 creedmoor ammo on the shelf for me! 😂

They are popular!

[@imsobigtheycallmemr]

How long does it take you the thread chamber contour headspace and crown a barrel

[@DustinDrews1]

If I have the programs all Written I can do about 3 a day.

[@DustinDrews1]

If I have the programs written I can do 2 rifles a day. But I don’t do production stuff. All my stuff is upon request. More fun that way

[@imsobigtheycallmemr]

@@DustinDrews1 where are you located I'm looking to have a .30 cal palma barrel chambered threaded and head spaced crowned for my HS precision action to .308
