Hi everyone.
I have been a long time reader and follower of this great forum and finally decided to join.
I work as a data architect but my favorite hobby is metal working and gunsmithing.
I am amazed about the knowledge shared on this entire forum.
If this is ok I would like to ask a couple of questions...
I want to fabricate a bushing to convert 1.060x16 action threads to .9x20 threads for a quick barrel swap system in a Remington 700 bolt action.
This reducer will have a shoulder that will hold the recoil lug in place and it should be strong enough to torque it down to 100ft-lb or so.
I am planning to make this with a piece of stainless steel I already have. The shoulder portion will be 1.3" in diameter and around .2" long.
I will make a barrel nut for .9x20tpi in order to torque down the barrel at 40ft-lb after headspacing. This is not different than the popular
savage system, just reduced to a smaller thread for small caliber quick swap.
my questions are:
A) Would the 1.060x16 allow me to torque to 100ft-lb?
B) What would be the best way to torque down the bushing with a simple design and w/o cutting too many slots or holes?
I do have a lathe but not a mill :-(
Many thanks.
