 Well, i got my build together. Remington 700 cf action 25'' pac-nor barrel. I wanted a ram rod on it, so I put in an aluminun tube with a small bolt in the back and I screw the ram rod in. It`s not perfect but I like it. I couldn`t have done it with out this board. I`ve only shot it a couple time, just to make sure it would go bang. |

I used rossman's pillars and devcon to bed the action. I took about 1/2" off of the stock and put on a decelerator recoil pad.

Nice build and I especially like the ramrod attached. I'm working on two builds and both will be utilizing similar aluminum tube ramrod liners that you have used.
If you could please explain the screw retainer part better I would appreciate it. I have been building mine with three sections of aluminum tube and epoxy bedding the tubes so that there is a bind on the rod when installed. If your method is better I would sure like to hear about it.
Again, great looking build.

somewhere there is a tutorial on doing ramrod tubes, I think. It has been done many times and in many different ways but the screw bedded in the end of the rod works very well. I use 13/32 x.014 brass tubes from K&S Engineering, stock # 0109 found at a good many hardware and hobby stores. they fit a ramrod very well and are thin enough to fit in most stocks..

If it helps anyone any I have been using the high end aluminum tent poles for my liners. I actually started using them as collapsible rods utilizing the ferruls that they sell with them. Very durable rods but I got tired of forgetting them in the truck. After that I have been re-purposing them as liners.
If I remember correctly they were reasonable in price and I bought the tube and ferruls at an on line backpack supply store. One of those ultra light backpack places that sells all the light cookers and titanium cookwear and helium tents and such.
To use them I do have to ream them out a few thousandths but when I'm finished they also fit the rod with just a few thousandths clearance.
I think I get the screw part. You are mounting them in the rear and screwing the rod into them when installed. If I would have known about that prior to my present set up I may have tried it. As it is my system works well so I guess there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Here`s how I    done mine. I red Loctite a small nut onto a bolt that will screw into my ram rod. I epoxy the nut and drive it into the aluminum tube. Then I cut off the left over sticking out. |

If you use a boyds it has a channel in the center of the forarm but is not routed out on both ends, I use a Dremel with a carbide cutter to open it up. If you have access to a end mill you can do it that way too. the problem you run in to on some stocks is hitting the front stud with the tube, the trimmer the forarm profile and the thicker the tube the bigger the problem. that's the reason I use a .014 brass tube, very thin but once its bedded in the stock you will never bend it especially when the rod is in place. I have done many this way and they work well..

I found the center of where I wanted the hole, started with a small drill bit, being careful to keep it strait then used the next size up drill bit until I had it the right diameter.

Bill is right about the front swivel stud, I had to re-work it on mine.
