Working strictly off pictures and a Rem 700 action in hand, I pulled out some blocks of aluminum and started making swarf...After cutting a pair of 1x3x3" blocks on the bandsaw and drilling then boring them, the real fun begins. The old mismatched 4 jaw chuck takes some extra care too... I am not looking for professional tools, just soemthing I can use a dozen times over the rest of my life to rebarrel a rifle or ten. Suggestions welcome!
I still need a handle, or a really big pipe wrench, but the fun parts are done. As much as I look at it, I can't figure out how to get a hole in the action wrench to line up the recoil lug. I could cut a groove easy enough but a pin in the action bolt hole would help align everything. I need a mill...even a decent benchtop mill would handle this kind of work.
