How to flute a Remington 700 bolt.

In this video I show you how I flute Remington 700 bolts at my shop. There are many ways you can do this, but this is the way we do them here at Hankins Custom Rifles

[@cammacgregor9354]

As a former Tool & Die Maker, I am thrilled to have watched your excellent work. Thanks for making this video, Jeff--!!!

[@jeffsmith3581]

Love how you keep your Shop and work area Clean. You Do Awesome work.

[@jeffhankins6616]

Thank you. I do try to keep the shop clean as possible,,,,,,,,,,

[@preacherbiggin]

That's a KILLER deal folks! Looks good Mr Hankins! Great work! Merry Christmas from the mountains of South western Virginia .

[@victorperezjr.8122]

Great video Jeff, keep up the great work

[@jewhj14]

Good video. Keep them coming.

[@gunhappyie]

Excellent video Jeff and its a nice machine. Tool changes are fast !! You must have big plans with a machine that size ! Good luck :)

[@lostagain2992]

I realize this is an older vid but you did a great job on the explaining the details!

[@6h471]

Years ago I used to do jobs like this on a Bridgeport using a dividing head geared to the X axis leadscrew with change gears. Not very efficient timewise, but it was a way. CNC is the best thing that ever happened to a machine shop.

[@waynemayle9918]

sweet set up jeff

[@davidpomella6786]

Great cnc machine Jeff

[@jeffhankins6616]

Thanks you. It is an amazing machine.

[@TomColontonio]

Cool!

[@jeffyoung2089]

That's a great deal!

[@theessexhunter1305]

Do you have to DE-BUR the bolt as in any machining process there will be an edge to the machined face?

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

I want my heavy stainless 22lr barrel spiral fluted and the bolt same

[@keenanwalker6597]

Hmm never thought of doing them with a 4 axis I’ve always done it on a lathe with live tooling.

[@robertavery8897]

Just for my interest. Did you use a test pin to check cemetery of your chuck with the support center. I’m sure your church is adjustable. Nice machine ...

[@agbrown308]

Jeff have I missed the window.? I just am seeing this video now. Thanks. Keep up the good work

[@jeffhankins6616]

Yes,,, Window is closed at the moment.

[@702aaron]

@@jeffhankins6616 add me to a list if you tool your CNC again

[@mattrobertson8265]

Does deep flutes affect rigidity ? And accuracy ?

[@mikejd35d23]

I noticed the bolt you did at 22mins the program started with the bolt at a different angle. When you put the bolts back in the fixture you are threading them in. How do you make sure they are indexed the same?

[@jeffhankins6616]

Where the bolt stops depends on where the threads are started at the factory. I have seen them off 45 degrees or more. This will determine where they tighten up on the fixture. The starting position for the first flute is at 0 degrees on the RT so I can only tighten up the handle and let it be where it is.

[@keithlucas6260]

Ran Mori Seiki NT's with nine axis as well as Mazak Integrex for oilfield companies. Haas makes a VF-9 that we used with four axis to do similar parts. Our charge out was $120/hr for machine time and the same for programming. Usually on GibbsCam a part like that would less than an hour.

[@mikefurman6292]

Jeff have a short action remington needs wirk for exjection can you handel it and wht it cost

[@tinygunner4703]

so i see its been several years since you posted this id still like to get my factory Remington 700 300 rum long action i definitely missed your time span but id still love to get my bolt done let me know what we can work out im not in a rush.

[@Idahoprepper71]

I wish I would have found your channel sooner. Do you think you will do this offer again?

[@jeffhankins6616]

I will be fluting bolts from now till Jan 15th 2019. Get them to me before the cut off date. Contact me at [e-mail]

[@paulyn6052]

What is the name of the tool you use to remove the firing pin assembly off the rear of the bolts? I've never seen one like that and would like to know where you purchased it from or did you make it?

[@jeffhankins6616]

brownells sell the tool..... it will be listed under rifle tools.

[@andrewh5107]

Hi Hank. Sweet setup. What else do you have in mind for your CNC? Awesome video.....definitely like to see more with the new tool!

[@jeffhankins6616]

I have a lot of plans with the new CNC, time is the restraining factor but I will keep you posted as I do new jobs...

[@martinhensley8785]

Can you do a 6 flute on a winchester 7mm stw ?

[@michaelhale4041]

I have rebuilt many many cnc spindles crashing those are not cheep. Rebuilt them for over 8 years. I rebiult on that ran 190,000 rmp

[@henryware9440]

What is the approximate price for this service please (Rem 700 short action bolt)? TIA.

[@6.4hemidriver44]

Nice work. Is there a functional reason as to why you would flute a bolt? I've heard fluting a rifle barrel decreases weight and increases surface area to aid in cooling.

[@jeffhankins6616]

The main reason is to give dust, dirt and or sand a place to go when in dirty environments

[@davidpomella6786]

Wonder if you are using a carbide cutter and what is the spindle RPM AND TABLE FEED??

[@jeffhankins6616]

Carbide? Absolutely a carbide cutter... I do not remember the speed and feed rate.

[@barryloftin4159]

Hey I’ve got a question for ya lol when and how did so many people start making there own version of the 700/model 70 and can you do a video on the receiver and how it’s made ?? Hey I just wanted to know how they make it ??

[@jeffhankins6616]

I don't make recievers. I understand how they are made, but explaining it would take a lot of time. You might get lucky if you do a search on them and find someone that will share that information, but it is doubtful.

[@rdgsupafli]

Dam I missed it. Please message me when you do it again. Would love to have my bolt spiraled.

[@rckingmobile]

How much do you charge per bolt

[@dillaboo16]

what are your thoughts on the Mossberg MVP 223 with the MDT chassis? also do you have a website?

[@jeffhankins6616]

Never been a fan of the Mossberg products, however I do have an 835 12 ga. for a turkey gun. So in all honesty I can't say good or bad about the MVP 223 since I have never seen one. I do have a website. www.hankinscustomrifles.com

[@dillaboo16]

Jeff Hankins thanks for the responce..

[@marvinpadier9504]

Do u only do remington

[@Sketchy_Vettes]

Could you flute a Ruger Precision Rifle bolt?

[@jeffhankins6616]

Never even seen a Ruger Precision rifle so I really cant say for sure.

[@pawashere]

very good work Do you sell them ??

[@jeffhankins6616]

I can get you an action and flute the bolt, but this special id mostly for people that have the gun already and just want to add a little bling to it. This is a super price for doing this, most other people charge $75.00 and up to do this.

[@jonsimmons3507]

Is that a live center on your tail stock?

[@jeffhankins6616]

[@jake4x41982]

Hey jeff any plans on expanding to do savage bolt bodies, thanks

[@jeffhankins6616]

I could do them if I have enough people wanting them done.

[@jake4x41982]

Thanks for the response, ill keep it in mind

[@clznlnz]

I’m going to send you three Remington bolts, and I have two savage long actions when you are ready. Add me to the savage list twice.

[@jeffreymanmano1887]

How much is bolt action

[@customjrod]

Hey Jeff, I'm interested in building myself a custom muzzleloader I would like to do all the machine work myself. I've built all my own guns for the last several years, a hobby of mine. Can I buy all the parts off of you.

[@jeffhankins6616]

Yes. I sell everything you will need.

[@Akhazmat907]

Now the real questions 1. How much. 2. Where are you located. 3. What is your turn around time.

[@zombiecorp101]

could you flute a r783 bolt ?

[@zombiecorp101]

Its really similar to the r700 so I was thinking maybe its possible?
