little by little...

[chris.tyne]

Bit by bit it comes together...........

[Teepee]

And what exactly is this creation you are working up to?

[chris.tyne]

Teepee......mighty fine question it is that you have asked



as soon asI know the answer I will let you know. .

[stinkitup]

Python action?

[Branxhunter]

What sort of trigger guard is that, and where do you get them from?

Marcus

[chris.tyne]

Yes Stink its a Python action...........I should stop looking on the net cause I near dropped the hammer on a Bat 2x10 RBLPRE with a magnum boltface the other day,I have no need what so ever for one though other than for the old "one day".
Branxhunter its a stainless Bat trigger guard,I get them from the states.

[chris.tyne]

Talking of trigger guards,I muffed the trigger inlet up a bit on this,cut it slightly oversize so going to machine a small alloy plate and inlet it into the stock and then inlet the trigger guard into that.........rule number 100001.........dont talk to someone when operation a mill,

especially if you have limited brain space such as myself

[stinkitup]

I prob should of pulled the trigger on a python action a few years ago but anyway, do you like the action? Figure would make a good action for many different cartridges from big to medium.

Keep the updates coming, what bolt face?

Ryan

[chris.tyne]

Ryan the action is solid,its long,relatively heavy and it is well made ,it is just like a copy of my Viper only bigger and doesnt have a drop port.....................I like it.
It has a larger and longer tenon than say a Viper,Bat,etc but I spoke to Russ at Stillers and I have 4x barrel adapters on their way.The adapters will allow me to thread a smaller shank barrel to 1.060(still a longer thread), loctite the adapter on and its good to go.
It is a .473 bolt face,it will take cases over 3inches in length,I was fortunate enough to have Kickinback machine a case rim/extractor groove machinerupperthingy for me so I can make larger diameter cases fit the boltface.


Regards Chris.

[trevort]

Indian Paint?

[chris.tyne]

Large Tyre..


Not sure Trev,I have seen an Indian blanket.......................well I think thats what it was and ...................ummm I am pretty sure it was yours ,i wish this one was the same pattern as the one you had.

[trevort]

That was kerriet's. mine was the same as yours. Thought it was Indian paint but it was a few years ago

[chris.tyne]

Trev you are most likely correct..................still Kerriets looked better than yours and mine combined

[chris.tyne]

Ok the bedding came up alright,got to love flat bottomed actions,had a bit of a action locked in stock moment due to bedding material getting in trigger well,all good now just needs the trigger well in the stock to be remachined and the bolt cutout.

[chris.tyne]

Ok,....I admit that a child may be born and sent to school quicker than this build but I am near up to the barrel bit now,I weighed it ,minus barrel and scope it is 7lb 1 oz.
Bit heavy but it will be fine,need to sand the stock a bit,make a carbon butt plate and a coat of auto clear and she is good to go,
Couple of pics of barrel reducing bush

Pillars,I f*cked the guard inlet initally,not much I can do about it now.
