Gunsmith Help

[CHAD PEZZLE]

Just out of curiosity how do you "fix" threads? Like make them tighter or better aligned?

Weld more metal on it and re-cut everything?

Generally gunsmith's just dial in the receiver using a tapered bushing/rod that self centers in the action. The action is trued with dial indicators to have almost zero run out along the bushing/rod. Then they single point cut the threads slightly over sized. Usually a minimal amount, just enough to clean up the threads.

Then a new barrel is installed that has slightly large tenon diameter and matching threads.

There are several other steps that go along with truing a receiver, but that's the gist of the threading part.

I don't think I've heard of anyone truing threads on a receiver with out re-barreling.

Forgot to mention Marc!

To the OP, before you commit, you're welcome to shoot my own Spartan Precision built rifle. It happens to be in .308, is in a McMillan A5 stock, and has a 24" barrel to reach. I can consistently shoot in the .4", with a best of .128" (5 shots) so I know it's a shooter. Let me know if you'd like to meet up.

Kendog does great work. No better out there!

Here are two stocks in what is called a flattop configuration.
A semi inlet looks like a ball end mill has been run the full length of the stock and no trigger or bolt mortise cuts.

When you order a stock you need to know the tang you will be using even if you order a flattop.
The green Roberts Composite stock is made for a short square tang found on BAT and Borden actions.
The Carolina Sunset McMillan is set-up for a Remington or Remington clone action with a longer tapered tang.
If you put a Remington or clone in the Robertson stock the tang would have three options.
It would stick out the back if the trigger was located correctly.
The trigger would sit too far forward if the tang was fit correctly.
Or lastly if you were using a barrel block you could mill the tang to fit the stock.
Best bet is to know what you are going to use before you order up any parts at all so they all fit together with the least amount of additional work.

Edit: The picture doesn't show it very well but there is a almost straight drop on the short square tang stock and a very gradual slope on a Remington or clone stock.

Better picture of the two tang types.
