Here are just a few of the procedures we cover: weld up the firing pin hole, reshape the firing pin, machine the breech face, open the breech face for a magnum, super tune the extractor, make the extractor snap-over for reliability, lap the lugs – making the safety lug contact, extend the magazine box for longer cartridges, install recoil shoulders in the magazine box, open the rails to feed magnum cartridges, fit the magazine for reliable feeding, modify the front guard for bedding, and much more. There are dozens of custom modifications shown. Some are for reliability, others for accuracy, and many just for your personal taste. For example, we cover flaring the cocking piece runway, fitting the bolt stop and ejector, performing a trigger job, re-barreling, and head spacing. In addition, we show examples of many custom modifications you can perform, from customizing the bolt stop to how you can lighten the action to make a good mountain rifle without compromising strength. We walk you through each procedure step-by-step with the usual super-close-ups and simple explanations.
