mattybugeye 884 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Got started on the rusty metal work today I fitted the new barrel so was just the cylinder to sort Couple of hours elbow grease with the sandpaper then went to finish off on the machine polisher and it went pooof so heading out shortly for a new one will add more pics once it's done but coming along nicely 1 Quote Link to post

mattybugeye 884 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Well took a while to get the pitting out it didn't look too bad when I started but few hours later on the new bench grinder and wire disc soon sorted it I used some old blueing I had knocking about Phillips again and it took well to the metal not as deep as usual but 100% better than it was (is slightly Gray but will be ok for now see how it holds up ) built back up to show how she's looking and added some new glass a hawke map pro 4-16x50 I picked up this morning Also I flatted and polished the stock don't think il completely re finish it as this is going to get used for hunting I'm more interested in getting it in good usable order and performing well than looking a million dollars Added new breech seal too so here she is so far ....... Few more little bits to do then she's Almost there Quote Link to post
mattybugeye 884 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Forgot to add the pics from while I was blueing it's hardened up nicely now Quote Link to post
jonnie bravo 572 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Cracker that. Blueing looks lovely top job, I barely believe it's the same rifle! Do you have to shorten the stroke on an ? As I've heard there really designed for FAC power 1 Quote Link to post
mattybugeye 884 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 No not short stroked it mate just removed pre load and the v Mach kit spring had been trimmed to suite was doing a steady 11.5 when1st chronod it but will be 1st thing I do when all built back up there is no pre load or tension on the spring so nice and easy to re assemble They are built in a way I think is mainly for fac use but hopefully correctly set up and all the work that's been done should be sweet in sub 12 The piston should be back next week after kindly been glided by Chris (thursodog) God I'm looking forward to testing this out Tallied up total spend and managed to keep it just shy of 200 so happy with that Oh there will be a screw cut and target crown plus hw mod in next few week so will be around 250 spend but enjoyed working on her and if it shoots well I think that's a snip 1 Quote Link to post
