the throater is 1.5 degree. i may not need it if i use a "palma match reamer" only time will tell.
so the "rifle" showed up today. stock, action, trigger, recoil lug and bbl nut.
this will not be a nut bbl,,,so that is excess,,,ss finish.
the previous owner was shooting some sort of competition and the action has been bedded to the alum chassis/stock.
an excellent job but i will have to remove all ahead of the recoil lug. my bbl is a little larger in dia.
but the stock is much better than the 10 cabelas special that had an alum channel in it..much stiffer
now the ACTION. a nice heavy beast with a wasted poorly fitted bolt...flops all over the place.
SO BIG QUESTION..
has anyone sent an action out to be sbn coated ?( several names for the process)( sbn, qpq,melonite, nitriding
i would like to do the bbl bolt head and action.
concerned about the heat, but bbls are done all the time.
anyone ??
thanks
so being a little slow on the up take...
i just noticed the stock is an H S PRECISION stock...not an upgraded savage stock
very nice
You should contact Savage about nitriding the action.
The temperatures involved (it is a heat treatment) will change the metallurgy- only they will know whether it can be done without adversely affecting it.
The custom M700 clones are nitrided by the manufacturers for that reason.
That's also the reason it's much more common to go with DLC on receivers.
thanks, i'll look into it
continues in the members build forum
thanks
