(13:31) before starting thread an aluminum or brass slave collar that matches your action ID at 18tpi or whatever your particular action is, then when you're finished with the breach end before taking it out of the lathe put your pre-made slave collar on and turn it concentric with a scratch pass, and when you flip around the work to on the muzzle you won't have to deal with those shims. I believe this will be more concentric with a three jaw Chuck that three separate shims. Keep the slave collar just in case you do another action👍
Absolutely fantastic video ! You answered so many questions in thirty minutes. Practical, concise and entertaining. I’m definitely looking forward to the next instalment in this series. Cheers.
This looks awesome. Amazing work. I really like how you explain how and what you’re doing with the lathe as you cut everything in. The skill is great. Looking forward to the next part in the series!!
For the short barrels, make yourself an extension that threads over the tenon so you can get it all the way through the headstock and indicate like normal
Fantastic video man! Great content and super thorough look at the processes involved in preparing a precision rifle build.. And some very nice little info nuggets in there too!!
You did a great job with this. I do the same thing shorter barrels. Only I use a collet chuck. I really miss my south bend heavy 10 when doing barrel work. Thing had a 13” long spindle. Absolutely perfect for doing barrels down to 16”.
This is so excellent!111thank you for showing. I live on an island in southeast alaska. Always wanted a very light rifle. We have sitka blacktail. Small awesome deer. Small caliber. However we have tons of brown bear. The saying around here when you shoot and have buck down that’s a dinner bell for the brownies. Any suggestions for a caliber for those situations? Great channel

Great videos, thanks for sharing what many would consider to be 'industry secrets'... 🙄
Whens the next episode out?
Great build! And realistically Very few Defiance actions should need any work.
I was wondering if I would see any comments like this.
@@jeffersonsmith6109 do you think they do?
