Wow! That's some top notch work.
Nice work. Gotta ask though, why a 2MOA rail for the DD?

Impressive work sir!
Can you show us your equipment!?
This week?

Hey anietfeld! Pictures of my equipment and work shop can be found here
This week I did a muzzle brake for a kindly gentleman in his 70s.
He contacted me, saying he is determined to hunt for another 10years but that his (gorgeously mint) Sako AIII in 30-06 is getting "a little rowdy to shoot off the bench". Could I thread the muzzle and supply a gill brake that would be classy and wouldn't look too out of place on his Sako, along with a matching thread protector? His desire is to thread on the brake for sighting in and then remove it to save his ears while hunting.
A witness mark for timing and anti-seize in place of loctite, he should be good to go...
I flared the OD of the protector as discretely as possible while providing just enough meat for a couple flats...
did I mention this rifle is MINT??
I also did a small repair job to this "Eatons" SxS.
The right hand barrel wasn't firing. Disassembly showed a small bur on that sear, causing it to ride over the notch in the hammer and fail to cock.
Not a high end gun, but its back on the road.
In other news, I've been working on a bottom metal project for a Tikka. Four Tikkas actually...
This customer has a fleet of stainless Tikkas and feels that a stainless hunting rifle deserves stainless bottom metal with smooth rounded off lines to match.
First step: make a model based off the sample...
Then start writing code...
I'm starting with an aluminum test piece as its much cheaper material and is easier on tooling.
OP1 done.
Now to make a fixture for OP2 and 3
I'm sorry but, I love this stuff!!
Ready to deburr!
There's more tool marks than I'd like if it was the real thing but for a test piece, things are looking good!
I apologize, these aren't great pictures but they should give an idea...
This brings up a question for you gents, I personally think Tikkas are "the new 700" (sacrilege I know) in that they have more and more aftermarket support and that it's an excellent platform; is there anything you wish was available for tikkas that isn't yet? I'd like to hear your thoughts!

Obviously there would have to be a market for it, to make it profitable for you, but I would like to see:
1. Bottom metal for a Ruger gunsite scout that just has the trap door resembling any normal model 77 (to eliminate the detachable magazine system).
2. A scope rail for a Mossberg 590a1 with a simple peep sight to work with factory front sight.
3. A scout type rail for a Winchester model 92 (Miroku) that has a simple peep sight as well. Kind of like what skinner currently produces.
4. A no drill scope mount that fits a Lee Enfield #4/#5.
Your products look top notch and it would be nice to be able to shop Canadian.
Great work. I bet stainless kimber floor plates would sell as well.
Congrats Paul, awesome work! Soon will talk to you about some projects! Keep it up!
This past week has been primarily a paper work, CAD design and shop project week.
About the only picture worthy project I did was making some new "barrel steady rests" for some particularly long barrel milling projects I've got coming up...
Still a few components to go but here they are assembled to this point.
More to follow.

Alright I got these steadies finished up just in time, the first slated job for them showed up the very next day!
KS barrel blank, .458"bore to finish at 32"OL...
Taking some measurements on this 1878 Springfield Trapdoor receiver...

To the lathe...
These actions require a square thread form. Not a huge deal, but it requires a slightly different approach than a V thread and a modified grooving insert.
Test fit...
Good to go!
A classic 45-70 chambering...
And now... Octagon contouring.
I am pleased to report, these barrel steadies worked a treat!
A bit of engraving...
And some extractor/hinge cuts...
And finally, cutting/crowning the muzzle.
All buttoned up, ready to ship!
This is for a well known gentleman here on the forum, I'll let him chime in if he so desires, sufficive to say; I look forward to seeing where he takes it from here!
