Have some 6.5 Rem Mag brass formed from 7mm RM brass. Only keeping what I can't use because this stuff is very hard to find and most people don't have the dies to form it. These are all good cases, no crinkles or wrinkles. Formed and trimmed. I'd definitely run them through your sizing die...

In case there are any questions on how I "trued" this receiver here's a picture. I use bushings that fit the raceway and a ground rod that slides between those bushings. The custom lathe chuck, made by me, fits on the front receiver ring as to minimize any induced flex in the receiver. If the...

Came with a magnum bolt but not sure if it's a 7mm mag, 300 mag, etc. If there are rail dimensions I can measure to verify which exact version it is I'd be happy to do that and post the results.

My pricing must be WAY off, haven't had a single response yet. Price lowered or send me an offer. Also willing to look at trades, maybe a 7mm barrel I could rechamber to 280 Ackley or a handful of Remington 700 take-offs, Remington 700 firing pins (both short and long action).

Picked this up a while back for a build that never got off the ground. Bluing has been stripped and re-sprayed with matte black AlumaHyde. Receiver only, no bolt is included. The receiver has been trued, meaning front receiver face and internal lug face was skim cut to make them both...

That's not bad at all. Good luck on your project!

Nice, what was the cost?

I remember something liked this happening to me. Winchester bolt had a Mauser collar and locked things up. Soon as I got the proper collar, problem solved. There are also some variations in extractors. Everything has to match up at least enough to keep things functioning.

Trying to clarify here...... So you want him to sand down a bolt using a lathe he probably doesn't have thereby making it more non-concentric to go with his already non-concentric receiver? Might as well open up the raceway with a wooden dowel with sandpaper wrapped around it. At least then...

Good call, missed the fact it's a LA.

The buyer will probably want to know that along with the screw spacing.

Yeah, I've read you need stones that will work with the interrupted cut. Planned on looking into that. Still need to get the Sunnen or of storage and make sure it works. Mind me asking what the proper stones cost you? If the cost is outrageous I might just buy a raceway reamer.

Those bolts are fairly loose. Something is pretty off for it to bind. I've got a model 54, which is very very similar, and have cycled multiple m54 and m70 bolts through it without any problems. Check the bolt and receiver for warpage. Guessing something is bent. Might also check the bolt stop...

I've got a Sunnen hone on my project list but won't get to it until spring. Am curious if anyone offers that particular service.

Looking for 1 or 2 pieces of sized 26 or 28 Nosler brass. Not feeling the need to spend $150 for a full box, when I only need a couple for a project. Thanks for the help! BP
