Just about got ‘er, Randy

Randy,

We just about got er tight. we had some trouble with head Space and had to put on our special wrench as you can see. In fact I had to put a cheater on the wrench to get the correct headspace.

Another thing… you know those bushing thingys you sent along with the reamer, well none of them seem to fit.. we tried to pound one down the bore and just give up on that there idea. But we got the bright idea of slitting them lengthwise with a hack saw and now they work great. Anyway we figured if they didn't work ….. you could use them thingys for roll pins and that there way they would not be wasted.

The bolt seems to work rather hard in the action now. Did you have that there trouble before? Well, we think we can fix that there problem by turning the bolt to a smaller diameter. We are down to five sixteenths of a inch and the bolt works a lot better now, but the firing pin spring shows thru on one side…. but it works OK.

One last question. You sent along a reamer thing with sharp edges on it and we stuck it in the chamber and it sure cuts good. With my borescope I can now see we are nice and smooth for about 12 inches ahead of the bullet. Really looks neat. Where did you get that darn thing?

Well, I best go for now… thought you might want to know everything came out OK.
