Snakejaw_Joe Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Howdy Pards, been missing spending time on the forum, but school is whooping me good. Figured I’d drop in with an update. Semester 1 is basically a machinists cert, which I am loving. Spending 7 hours a day on lathes and mills pumping out parts based on blueprints, we’re graded to within 0.001” accuracy. Today I turned and threaded my first buttress thread, I actually found it easier than regular threading since I didn’t have to push in on the compound, I just used the cross slide. But it looks cool! This part is a Bolt Mandrel for a Mauser 98 action. Fits like a glove. Hope y’all are staying safe and not starting too many saloon brawls

DeaconKC Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Well done! That will sure look nice when you put that Timney trigger on the Mauser.

The only other thing I’m more excited for is building a 338 Edge on an old CZ action… Making a modern Grizzly gun. This Mauser is getting the 30-06 classic treatment.
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Looks good. I haven't turned on a lathe since high school. I envy you.

Pat Riot Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Nice! Good going. I’d like to see that Mauser when it’s done.
