Bolt Timing Video (Receiver Printing pt.1)

Timing is EVERYTHING…… timing means many things to different people. Take a peek at a few examples of some of the problems that come up when the bolt is not in time.

XP100 Raceway Boring (Receiver Printing pt.2)

Here we are boring a Remington XP100 action and getting it ready to install a Pacific Precision bolt.

Printing XP100 Receiver (Receiver Printing pt.3)

Here we’re going to set up the XP100 in a jig and true the face.

Truing of Threads and Lug Area (Receiver Printing pt.4)

Here we are finishing up of the truing of the threaded area which is normally out of round and not concentric to the raceway. We are also single point cutting the threads and truing the integral lugs. This should finish up the receiver work now and we will have a video on installing the new bolt and silver soldering it on.

Silver Soldering Bolt Handle (Receiver Printing pt.5)

Shown here we are setting up in the jig and silver soldering bolt handle to bolt body.

Bolt Cleanup and Polish (Receiver Printing pt.6)

This is the last Video on Raceway boring, printing the receiver, truing threads and integral lugs.

“As Ithaca continues to grapple with the realities of a history filled with heavy, often irresponsible industry, property owner Wally Diehl, who heads Fall Creek Redevelopment L.L.C., and developer Frost Travis have come up with a plan to reshape and revitalize one of Ithaca’s most infamous environmental disasters.
“When I first moved back into town, I saw the gun factory and I just thought it was a real shame that it wasn’t in productive use of some kind,” Travis said. “My initial thought was ‘Jeez, somebody ought to turn that into loft condominiums.”"

It might be a nice idea, but I can’t imagine too many people lining up to live in a super fund cleanup site that was once the site of uranium testing.
