[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1612758, member: 20333"] I wrote to Dave Manson a very simple question, very much on purpose. This is the question and his response, with his attachments in original order. I decided not to post the many pages in the PDFs. Hello Mr. Harmon: Thanks for your inquiry. I think the best way to answer your question is to send copies of instructions for the various tools comprising our "Accurizing System". To that end, I've attached them for your review. Please contact me if--as I think you may--have questions after reading the instructions. Best regards, Dave Manson Dave Manson Precision Reamers 8200 Embury Road Grand Blanc, MI 48439 USA [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/tel:1-810-953-0732']1-810-953-0732[/URL] (tel) [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/tel:1-810-953-0735']1-810-953-0735[/URL] (fax) [URL='http://www.mansonreamers.com/']www.mansonreamers.com[/URL] On Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 12:52 PM <[EMAIL]eharm1956@gmail.com[/EMAIL]> wrote: What steps are required to deliver a “blueprinted” 700 action outside of the exterior finish?

Model 70 Classic Actions “Blueprinting” of the above action types has been made a lot easier with the introduction of specialized tooling from Dave Manson Precision Reamers. The following operations can be performed with the tools listed below: -re-cutting of receiver lugs square to the boltway and to the same height -re-cutting of the receiver threads .010” oversize and square to the boltway -truing of the front receiver ring (and recoil lug on Win. Model 70 Classic) -reaming of the Rem-style recoil lug to the correct oversize diameter Three tools are required for the above operations. They are described below and are sold individually, or as a set. Piloted Tap/Mandrel, A special piloted tap, 1 1/16”-16 ground .010” over standard pitch diameter for truing receiver threads. Two hardened, tapered bushings are carefully fitted to the Tap’s pilot. These bushings engage the receiver boltway to center the Tap and compensate for different receiver I.D.s. The Tap/Mandrel is sufficiently long that, when it has been fully threaded into a receiver, it may be used as a precision mandrel between centers in the lathe to square up the front receiver ring.

It uses the same tapered bushings as the Tap/Mandrel. On the Win. Model 70 Classic, this reamer removes the interrupted 1”-16 receiver thread while re-cutting the receiver lugs. High Speed Steel, carefully hardened and ground. Recoil Lug Reamer, Used to open the hole in the Rem-style recoil lug so a barrel shank, threaded to the +.010” diameter will fit properly. Saves lots of milling machine set-up. High Speed Steel, carefully hardened and ground. There are 6 PDF files attached to Dave’s memo, the above is the first PDF, the last PDF is reaming the action’s bolt ways and bushing the bolt body. Several of the PDF files are two full pages long. Posting them all here would create a small book. If you want a full copy of the 6 PDF tool instructions drop me an email and I will send you a copy of the PDF files. Now I readily acknowledge that Dave is in the business of selling tools. However, I have used his tools for decades and would consider him to be an expert, if for no other reason, than he created these tools and recognized a need for those tools. Ed [/QUOTE]
