I have managed to get the right feed gears in for the lathe so I tried them out today building a couple of OAL gauges. They just need the thumb screws fitting and the measuring slots cutting, then a good polish and they are ready to go.

Are you to be selling these?

I will be very shortly mostly to fund my machine tool addiction

I am currently wrapping up a couple of jobs and will then start building up a list of modest items such as these. My plan is to offer a better item for less money, in an ideal world no more than 65% of the going rate which is doable as long as I try not to think of the time I spend on them.

Mostly it is for pleasure, it keeps my mind active and if I can make items for myself I can make them for others.

It is important to keep your mind active as you get older...

I'll have one for 308 when they are ready. What about bore guides along the lines of the Lucas model?

I have just finished building a rod guide for Accuracy International actions, it is a 'close' copy to those issued. The Lucas guides are very nice and incredibly easy to build something similar, with inserts to suit, the problem is I cannot form the slot yet. I need a small Mill and it is on the shopping list as I have a whole load of things I could use it for.

I have had a think about it and I can do this, what action is it for Mike?

REM 700 Short Action.

Fantastic!

I don't have a REM 700 in the cabinet so I will need a couple of dimensions please Mike.

I will PM you.
