You know you never get it perfect on the first try, So Ill send you another bolt, and you can send me that one. The second try is always better NICE work!

I really like that idea. I wanted to do something very similar a few years ago but instead of a press fit I had thought about using a solder or permanent epoxy. Ultimately, I started like most everyone else and used a 700ML because someone told me the idea was too much work.

The other thing I thought of doing ,but right now I really don't think its necessary, is to use the ejector capture pin that I took out and reinstall it to the new bushing locking it in place.

Typical171... The more I look at this , the more it seems to be the easiest way to convert a centerfire bolt for the 209 primer ! Well thought out and very well done . Chris

As I read thru your thread I thought that is what you were going to say you did.

Chris Chris thats what I was shooting for. I know that a lathe is needed to do this mod and there isn't really a good way for a DYI to get it done without one. But the drop in replacement bolt that Kash has came up with will surely fit that need.

Yeah I bought that lathe a couple years ago, went to Springfield to look at it and had them un-create it and power it up so I could get the feel of it. Fell in love with it right there. Its a dead nuts accurate lathe. When I got it home and installed and went to get the serial number off of it and found it was serial number 0002. I guess it was just the 2nd one built?

Good looking build plus a great concept on the build. I'm looking forward on seeing group pictures.

Nicely done all around and a clean lathe. That lathe was a "gift" from my Dad, he was a machinist himself and was always very proud of the fact that I followed in his footsteps. Dad passed away a couple years ago and when we settled his estate, I took my part and bought that lathe in remembrance of him. Even though that lathe is only a couple years old, Im being very diligent of taken care of it. It gets cleaned off, wiped down and oiled up after every job. I hoped to pass it along to my son or grandson some day.

Typical171,
Your Dad has a right to be very proud. Good story and excellent machine work.
I like South Bend machines also. An American icon.
Can't argue with good design and execution...you work is absolutely "top notch"

Very nice set up all around! The gun build with all its accessories and the lathe. If I was a bit younger and a better trained machinist like yourself and Airbornike, I think I would own one of them.

You are a person to be admired very talented Very professional work and I really like the looks of your equipment even if I haven't a clue what I am looking at L.O.L. I am debating whether to have a 40 caliber built in the future Give a heads up on how it shoots Lou

Looks great. Did you end up pinning the boltnose in or just tight press fit?

Post by Typical171 on Feb 29, 2016 21:56:29 GMT -5
Havent pinned it yet Im confident it'll hold but I can always fall back on that

The Gunwerks ML that I seen it looks like they took a Savage 10ML-II bolt nose and stuck it into the Remy bolt. Might save you some time. You can get them thru Numrich for $12.65.
