The post whore thread.

It started with a R700 that wouldn't give up the barrel. No problem, just give a tiny bit of the heat, and off it comes!




It's a little dirty, so lets just clean it right out.




The lower lug had good contact, but the upper lug had (guess-timating) less than 20% engagement area. Hand lapping will help with that. The receiver was less than .0005" off from concentric, so no need to thrown it in a lathe.





A little bit of friction in the bolt was causing a binding in the cocking action. A couple turns with a strop, and all is well.





Time for the barrel install.





Bigger recoil lug on the right, because why not.





Close up of the barrel nut system.





It's not very short.






The gun, as it sits...

Was over to the neighbors today, he showed me his lapua 338.

Damn, that's a big booolit....neato rifle.

My rifle (right) next to an AIAX in .338 LM.

I made beef stroganoff for dinner. The last ingredient is always the sour cream (well actually the paprika and parsley go on last). Shit! I was out. But I just happened to have a quart of Greek yogurt - s staple in our house. It was a great substitute I must say. Also we scrapped the egg noodles this time and I went with a wild brown rice as the base. It was a good combination and a healthier option.

Well its nighty nite time for me. I'll be getting up early to do a few chores so I can hit the range when it opens. I'll be tuning out to some coast to coast on youtube. That puts me right to sleep everytime. Nothing like an alien conspiracy to make me fall asleep. Later skanks!

Very nice, Belly....thanks for all the pics of your new rifle.

Goodnight Bogie, have fun shooting tomorrow....I kinda miss Art Bell sometimes.

I blew a few hundred more bucks tonight buying stuff for our beloved hobby. Flip up iron sights, another holster for the glocks, gun belt, mag holder, and some other stuff.

If you've ever seen the show "Deal with it"...it's got some funny stuff going on.

I blew a few more hunny's on boat shit. I cringe to think what the total outfit is going to be by the time we hit the water.
