[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 401582, member: 13632"] Fitch, that post was perfect timing!! I was looking at the reamer and bushings and I realized how much coin I was going to drop and I just about dropped :rolleyes: I'm setting up for Savages so I was also thinking there is a step that isn't neccesary unless I wanted a PTG bolt to go with it and then, I figure you just defeated the purpose of shooting a Savage over a custom action anyway. The jig has a Savage short action in it, I spaced the holes so the bolts were right over the most meat in the action, I didn't have a long action on hand to check it out. I want to make another one that uses the split sleives like your short one for long actions. It's good practice for my general lathe opperating skills to make tools anyway. Do you think you could post the O.D. of the bushings you made for your mandrel or PM them to me, I'll search out a mandrel right now. By the way I made it out of a truck axle tube, I priced out some heavy walled tubing and they quoted me 23 bucks and inch, I sprinted out of there before I had to give them a cover charge to come in the store!!!
