6 dasher build and true the action

Keep the action throw the rest in the trash

Very well done video, I could not figure out how to get it back together without this video, thanks!

You took material off the action's shoulder, the rear of the lugs, and the bolt face. When the barrel is screwed back in, won't the timing of the barrel along with the bolt headspacing be off now?

My dad took his X40 to a custom well known builder to have it rebarreled and ask to have the action tuned and the guy laughed at him and said are serious we can do it but waist of money.

Can you talk more on your work holding stuff? Great video fellas

Aren't you cutting through the hardened surfaces?

I have run into this when people do their own bedding job and on factory high grade rifles. It’s as if they never read about or had someone show them how to do a solid bedding job. Preparation is the important part some epoxy is easier to work with than others but letting sit a few minutes also helps vs mixing like scrambling eggs and applying it quickly without pressing it into the surface so it engages the texture you create during prep. My last comment would be if you pull the action and see that result re do the job, learn something and be sure your customer gets the job they paid for.

When’s part 2 coming out?!

I had my 700 trued and a new PTG bolt, turned it into a tack driver for F class shooting! Dixie Precision by Alton Britt who is no longer with us after covid…..

You have to be particularly geeky to watch this and unfortunately I am.

Personally I think working on a Rem 700 action is kind of a waste of time and resources, being that it is completely round and uses a washer style recoil lug. The Howa 1500 action is far superior in my opinion. Nice work tho! :)

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO ! I personally question the owners choice of scope magnification choice for Brown Bear hunting in Alaska. The preferred magnification for dangerous game is 1x to 6x for close range target acquisition.

Where i came from we have a saying (leave the bread to the baker) The easiness is just leaving the job to the export

I bought that exact rifle on clearance a week ago for 369.00, also 6.5CM. Like any new rifle, I took it home, cleaned the barrel thoroughly and did one pass of Kroil, then one pass with Iosso paste, then a couple more with oil and then dry. Test fired it as is with a few factory ammo and it did ok. The 5 million pound trigger pull sucks but I have a TT on hand to remedy that. I may try some more factory ammo I have on hand but it didn't shoot near as well as my 3 Tikka 6.5CMs. I also have an identical rifle in 308 but paid a bit more for it. That one will be converted to a 708 in the near future. Not sure what I'll do with the Rem 6.5CM but most likely going full build with it. I have bottom metal floor plate kit and 4 barrels on hand all 8 twist cut-rifled from a few makers. I would need a stock. Definitely swapping out triggers first though.

So much of what you said is extremely misinformed. F-Class does use prefits, and there’s zero evidence to back up any of your claims.

Is there a point when squaring these faces to the CL of the bore that the bolt handle cam timing is effected ?

I own the Winchester mid 70 action rifle that has the action like the Rem 700 so looking at the back of the bolt one lug has the bluing, and the other side is wore off the bluing telling just one lug is making contact. I looked at the bolt lugs on my Weatherby Mark 5 and the same thing is some lugs are making contact and other lugs have bluing showing indicating no contact on lock up

So precise sloppy fit is better than a precise polished casting from the factory

Just my thoughts but I can't imagine going to any length of putting a new barrel and stock on a Rem 700 without completely truing the entire action/bolt. Of course each customer can choose what they want. I'm paying to completely true up the action first.

Excuse my ignorance. What does cleaning up the front of the lugs do? Really good video, wish there were more videos like this.

A quarter is exactly one inch or 25 mm

Very interesting

Very well explained

1500$ for action, 750$ for barrel, 1100 for stock, 200$ for trigger, 200$ for BDL bm, 1500$ for scope = POS gun

Better than the $100 shop versions.

Did you ever post a follow up video to this review?

I always love seeing r700 truing. Wish I could do it! Like the look of your work. Thanks for sharing .

Wow… I’d be pissed if that was my rifle. Great job educating what quality doesn’t and should look like

There is a thing called tollerance stack up too. You might have a barrel already fitted that is 3 thou off but it is offset by a thou difference in the action of 5 thou. So the overall misalignment is 2 though. Then you put a dead on barrel on it and suddenly you are 5 thou off.

I use a manual foot pump for my air mattress

I am a FFL gunsmith for past 30 years. This gun has been on my list for being overly complicated . Yet, it is mechanical sound and only ever had to clean four. Nothing really happens to them otherwise.

Dont lose those pins dude

Thank you, brother!

you are an expert at this

Interesting!

Beautiful rifle!

Good video

Man if you saw what we used back in mid 2000's shooting p'dogs mid summer in +100degree days. We'd take 7-8 rifles just because everything would get so hot so fast on the towns. I brought a old CO2 tank with a line and would keep it in the tailgate of the truck. After shooting a rifle we'd lay it in a cradle insert the line and let the CO2 blow for a few min and it would make those barrels cold! Cost us about $35 to refill it each season but it worked, bit bulky.

Great video on this subject. Not many out there.

those blowers like the magnetospeed blower are far to NOISY !

So your packing used shells that are completely useless?

Just saw your video. Great job on the repair. Also noticed your vise for holding your work. Is that a commercial product or home made. I'm interested in obtaining info.😊

If you have a deep dent put a drop of urthane varnish in the dent. Let it dry for a few days. If you can still see the dent put another drop of urthane in the dent. Let dry for a few days. Continue until the varnish is flush with the surface then put the new finish on. Make sure you let it dry for a few days between drops or the previous varnish will create "gassing bubbles" in the new varnish. That is true whenever using any varnish. Don't rush or you will get to do it over. Use urthane varnish because it is clear.

Excellent. I just picked up a Rossi RS22-TB today and this is much clearer than the manual as far as describing what needs to be done. Time to start cleaning!!

Thx

Recommend you show a video of your work doing the ignition timing

Great information brother ‼️ 👍 Thank you ‼️

If you" built it for a "customer" why are you using factory ammo?
