This video skipped a few steps pertaining to the barrel and brake fitting, but we continue after the stock has been bedded. At this point we need to clean up the overflow within the stock to allow for proper fitting of the other parts and to make it look nicer and cleaner. The stock is trued up in the mill before any cuts are made. apexcustomrifles@gmail.com

In this video I give an overview of the process I used to true up a 700 action and bolt. All of this in done on the lathe and everything is dialed in to as close to zero runout as possible. The action is indicated using tapered bushings and a ground tight fitting indexing rod. The bolt is just indicated on the OD in a couple spots with a 1/2 thou indicator. More can be done after the lathe work...

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
It's isn't sloppy. The factory machining is not precise. Example most factory 700 actions will only have one lug with 70% contact or one and maybe 20% contact on the other. This process makes both lugs 100% contact.
Hope you don't take up rebuilding engines, I watched your bolt shroud video, & again apparently you think a loose fit = a tighter precision fit
K I will keep trying to get it ? I understand the reciever should be trued , which should also make the barrel sit deeper by however much metal was removed, which in turn in theory should cause the bolt to be too long by the same amount so now that would require work, however. . . Im not getting how removal of ANY material from the bolt lugs is going to make it tighter, kinda like having a perfect fitting shoe and then putting a smaller foot into it , looser not tighter no ? I would think the bolt face is the only thing that can be reworked providing head space is off
You usually install a new barrel after this so dimensions have not much to do with the old barrel. New barrel gets cut to new specs. We are doing all this to make everything parallel and perpendicular to each other.
Not trying to argue, but the only way removing material from the bolt is going to make it tighter is if you start with a new oversized bolt, less is not more
We are not removing anything from the diameter of the bolt, so no more clearance inside the bolt raceway. When we remove a few thousandths from the bolt lug or bolt face, that is added onto the new barrel. Therefor, you end with with tighter tolerances than it was before. If we wanted to ream the bolt raceway, we would then get a larger bolt or bush the bolt. We are looking for consistency and repeatability with the action. It doesn't make it more sloppy. If you reused the old barrel, then yes, if you take too much off you can make it more sloppy. However a couple thousandths you could theoretically re-use the old barrel as long as the headspace was still in spec. That's not what we are doing here though. New barrel gets fit to the new dimensions of the action after it's been trued.
I guess I'll never get it, the bolt lugs have nothing to do with the barrel, the bolt lugs should lock up without a barrel installed, the lug recesses in the action are what they are , removing material from the lugs ,is like taking a key and making it smaller no ? I guess I'll have to take my mauser to a gunsmith & he can explain how removing material from the already broken in lugs is going to make them fit better, ps I apprenticed with 3 different gunsmiths from around 1980- 1995 so I do have some knowledge of how things work I did mostly polishing and bluing work , they did the machining, but I did make & heat treat a few fireing pins 2 of them specialized in 1000 yard match rifles
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.
This one ended up getting completely trued and tuned.
Excuse my ignorance. What does cleaning up the front of the lugs do? Really good video, wish there were more videos like this.
Typically not much other than looks. It's usually not off far enough to affect anything. I do it because it looks cleaner.
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
The scope retails for $2,400. There's close to $6,500 in parts with the scope. Then about $1,500 in labor. $160 brake too. They did cerakote and a stock paint job. NOT MY BUILD, but the pricing for a well-built rifle like this isn't too far off. Good parts here, but the builder didn't do their part.
Better than the $100 shop versions.
Did you ever post a follow up video to this review?
I have not yet, still plan to do it though.
Still don't understand why you would do anything to the lugs , they already fit , removal of any material from anywhere other than the face is just creating slop
Does two main things, trues them up the the bolt raceway, and creates 100% contact on BOTH lugs when in battery. Along with doing the bolt face, trues everything up to each other. This action as with many factory 700's had heavy contact on ONE lug. Not what you want for peak performance. When you install a new barrel, taking a few thousands of an inch off these areas doesn't matter.
Just the opposite. Nearly eliminates slop, asymmetry. This process nearly squares up all the surfaces that matter most. The key now is to install a new barrel, chambered properly to this action.
I always love seeing r700 truing. Wish I could do it! Like the look of your work. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks!
Wow… I’d be pissed if that was my rifle. Great job educating what quality doesn’t and should look like
Thanks! Not what I was expecting when this things showed up.
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!
So as you said its been turned between centres after drilling and rifling yet the bore is not concentric. How does that happen? Is it an error at the boring stage, turning, or did it warp?
you are an expert at this
Interesting!
Beautiful rifle!
Good video
Thanks, I'm kicking myself for not getting video for the threading of the action, but i'll be doing another at some point here with a brand new one.
What approach do you take for cleaning the threads 1. Single point 2. Tap
Single point.
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?
he is removing the used primers so he can use the cases again
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.😊
Thanks, That is a "Decker Shooting Products" gun vise. They went out of business a few years back, but you can find these on ebay once in a while. I bought 2 Brand New ones a few years back and they can last a lifetime.
@apexcustomrifles I thought as much. I remember them from years passed. If I can't find one, could you provide some pics? I could build one like it in a friends wood shop.
@@francisrotondo6485 you can google that term and a bunch of photos will show up. It's a pretty simple design, and I almost made a few, but for the price I got these at, It wasn't worth my time at the time.
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!!
My bolt is stuck locked back after 300 rd
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?
Thought I explained it in the video, but he bought that ammo mainly to get the Lapua brass. He gave it to me to do a little break in and testing.
@@apexcustomrifles Is good.
Is that the Solus 17 or 15 inch? Looking to do this swap and can’t figure out which one to get. Thanks
Pretty sure this was the 15" to keep it back from the muzzle a little bit. I think the 17" was going to end up real close to the muzzle.
Do you have to strip it down this far to clean the barrel every time?
No, you could get away with running it through the muzzle end first and exiting the chamber end. They sell little bronze coned bore guides for this purpose so you don't run the risk of damaging the lands near the crown.
Recommend doing the 6.5 CM. Compare the accuracy of the factory 6.5CM to a trued action with a new barrel.
Thanks!
What size of punch?
i used an ⅛in that did just fine.
What a shame Remington has become. All because of "Investors"... the Mitt Romney type. BTW, I say do the .25 Cal, be different!
WIll consider it!
A "retro" 6.5 Creed or 6.5x47 bedded into the BDL wood stock. Looking forward to this series!!
Thanks, getting more 6.5 feedback than anything else.
reminds me on Marlin .22 semi auto
My solus chassis included washers for the front screw so you don't have to cut it down.
im a HUGE fan on my ep 2.0 annealer... so easy to use & dont need to swap out parts & adjusts from 5.7 to 50bmg in seconds.
Thanks for the video, planning on ordering the solus chassis myself here soon for a b14r barreled action
My 6x47 loves Berger 109 hybrids .015" off the lands, Varget powder and CCI 450 primers with Peterson brass. No neck turn chamber with .002" "neck tension". Single digit SDs and .2" groups. Berger 108s and Hornady 108 ELD-M work almost as good.
Thanks for the video! I just clean mine with no problem.
What is the thread pitch on the action bolts, if you don’t mind me asking.
I don't have one to look at right now, but While I want to say 1/4-20, that may not be correct.
@@precisionmachineshed you might be pretty close with that. 1/4-28 does not work.
I installed my ejector spring and ejector with a little gun grease to hold it in place. Only two attempts to get put it together.
