HUH? What do you mean by that statement?

Have nothing for the OP. Butch probably knows what he is saying, but I have no idea what he means.

Cathead is a tube with a spider at each end.

What about from those that know it is not a good idea.

Aircraft frames made from 4130 are welded all the time. The tubing is not hardened and still the welds are coole slowl to normalize the...

If you are going to change barrels while the action is in the stock, dont bother welding, pinning or soldering the lug. Just don't put any release agent on the lug when you bed the stock, make the...

Butch's lug would probably work fine with low temp solder.

If the old bolt action is a Remington 580, no problem, it will be strong enough. Make up a piloted reamer to remove the rifling.

Feed from inside out. Draw it out and determine starting point. Or make a reamer, either multi flute or D reamer.

That says color code, not material code. The action is not made of Red.

If the bedding is not good, no other changes will give consistent results. IOW, if the bedding is bad, accuracy will not be consistant-groups are apt to be all over the place.

Many modern cartridges develop about 60,000 psi. A barrel blank should be rated AT LEAST to 90,000psi to give a little bitof a safety margin.

Be wary of what anyone tells you, friend or not. Keep in mind the saying, "Trust but verify", but remember it as "Doubt but verify".

Well, I did remember what I said, just not where I said it. Maybe senility is starting to creep in.

I remember what I posted. Others were arguing about how to indicate a barrel to keep the chamber in line with the bore and keep the muzzle square to the bore at the other end. The OP asked does it...

Can't reply to a thread that is no longer there.

Did not do a search. I replied to the thread Friday night and there had been several responses to it this last week.

I did look at my "recent postings" and it was not there.

I finally post on a thread and it disappears. The thread about how straight barrels might be and does it really matter.

They often just die after I post but this one disappeared.

HSS tooling is less likely to chip when doing interupted cuts taking the octagon to round. Muzzle to tailstock, cut toward headstock so that the headstock bearings take the thrust as they are much...

The OP used a level that was known to not be on, then compared it to the level in the sight. An accurate level is a must for this job, assuming the level in the sight is accurate. It should be...
