Remington 700 build without a lathe?
But what about the barrel. Are shillen or another company barrel good enough that a lathe is not needed for correct length into the action. I would like to build a 700 but I'm not making a business out of it. So I don't need and can't afford a lathe anyways. I'm doing it to say I did it. My plan as of now is to get a remington SA action.
General | Making a reamer
I need to make a special reamer. Searching the forums i have not found how the reamer flutes are typically cut. Perhaps i am not using the correct terms. The flutes i have looked at seem to have a hollow grind look on the long side.
22 rimfire barrel: making a reamer, and other Questions
Make the chambering reamer just like you were making a "D" Bit, just copy the shape of the cartridge and allow a "short "leade" on the front of the reamer of about 5 degrees leading to the pilot section. There are differences in bore diameters and you need to slug the bore and make your reamer to suit.

"D" Bits. | The Hobby-Machinist
It helps if a little material is polished off the shank, leaving the first 1/2-3/4" full diameter. It's asking quite a bit to have the full size drill rod not seize in the hole if you are going very deep. Reamers and twist drills (and most other …

Reamer makers
An old thread, and I know this reply will make some here cringe.. but life's to short to apologise for everything so... Being very cash-strapped at the time, I made a full length (concert )reamer out of a piece of crappy "hot rolled steel" for about $8.00 USD bought at a big box store, and by using a grinder, a basmati file, and a lathe bed(for eyeballing progress).

Making Jacketed Bullet Swaging Dies
Much easier and you don't need heat, etc as with casting. Cut the core to length, swage to uniform, seat in the jacket, then swage the bullet to form it. Much easier than casting. I used to cast commercially and swaging is a lot more fun and easier. Using .22 rimfire jackets to make .224 bullet means it costs me $25 to make 4,300 bullets.
Where to buy reamers? Should I make one? | Canadian Gun …
Forgive my ignorance, which is massive as I am not a machinist -- although I might have come across as one on a certain (Mexican) firearms forum back when I was announcing the .380 Cal and Super Cal concepts -- but when we were making up the .380 Cal idea to convert 9mm pistols into 9mm +P or even .38 Super equivilent pistols based on the .380 ...

making a 22 rimfire chamber reamer?
At the minimum you'll need a lathe, mill, indexing head, proper cutters, a way to sharpen it, and a way to heat treat it. ... The 22 mag uses an inside lubed bullet of 224 diameter and thus the case is quite a bit larger than the 22 LR. The 1 bit would not work.. One could make a chamber reamer by turning the full shape from drill rod and ...
