Just saw this thread. Outstanding job!!

Brownells offers short-chambered barrels in 6.5, .308, 25-06, and 30-06 for $125. If money is short, this is the way to go. They usually shoot fine for hunting.
A take-off barrel was removed for...

We had our students tape one of these to the inside lid of their toolbox.

i'll second Keith Rice. No website, but Keith normally answers the phone. Generally 30 days to complete the work and return the reamer.

This fellow was trained at the old Colt factory. He has a fairly extensive supply of obsolete parts as well as the knowledge to use them.

Replace the trigger assembly. $50 - 80 on ebay

I'm impressed! Fine work!

A Yugo Mauser (M48 or 24/47) calls for an extractor cut. I also add the safety breech that was part of the original design. Failure to make the extractor cut may make the bolt impossible to close....

This one is made from a piece of Walnut. I just drilled holes to match the handles of what I wanted to keep in the block.

742 is the original "Jamamatic".

Yup! There are a blue million 742 single shots out there. I have one in my shop now. The forend screw is so rusted that I can't remove it. Soaking in Kroil now for the weekend.

You can cut them from Threaded Lamp Rod, and they work just as well as anything else. ...

I wait until I have an order to make and then call in the order rather than doing it on the internet. I tell the order taker that I need replacements for bits no. 210-2 and 240-3 or whatever, and...

What is the advantage from making this modification vs. buying additional Handi-rifle barrels?

I use a 2' x 3' piece of beige carpet from a cheap store near me called "Ollies." The carpet has a low pile height and keeps pins and screws from rolling off the bench. When it gets so soiled that...

You tend to collect a few cutoffs over time. The T-Handle on top of the pile is one of the better uses that I have found. The barrel section is now a handle for a rimfire reamer holder.

I'm getting them from Jim Wisner.

I like the spray stuff (AcraRelease?) that Brownells sells. I have also had great results with Hornady One Shot Case Lube. A spray release agent is so easy to use. As a previous poster said,...

It isn't elegant, but I use this shop-made jig for jeweling. I align it with the mill table and clamp it down, then I advance the table using the hand crank 0.1 inches at a time (or 0.2 if I want to...

It is easily a half-day's work to set up the barrel and taper it. You would be better off buying a new barrel of the contour that you want.

Labor would run around $600 plus the cost of an oversized recoil lug.

I do Mausers regularly, and I would advise that you get the receiver and bolt to work with. You can measure the distance from the primary torque shoulder to the bolt face to see how much the gauge...

This is good advice. The plastic follower tends to stick in the tube. Replace it with an aluminum of stainless steel follower from Brownells.

White Rock is my go-to reamer place. I'm not up to the time and effort that it takes to advertise, package, and sell a reamer after I use it. If I plan to cut more than one chamber, I will buy a...
