I've been looking for an easy way to take down my Cooey without tools so it will fit in a 35" hardcase and go on the rack of my dual-sport bike. Today I got busy on the lathe and made a takedown screw similar to what the Cooey 39 uses. Five seconds and the rifle is in 2 pieces and will fit in the 35" case.







 
Nice work! I'm a fan of knurling, too.

I have an old 1947 South Bend cast iron lathe that I will never part with. I'm constantly looking at things around the house, on vehicles, on appliances, that look like they might benefit from a little lathe work. It's truly amazing what can be done with a good metal lathe. Until I started using it, I had never realized that you can, for example, make a perfect cube with one, among other things. I can't afford a mill, so...I got a milling attachment for my lathe. I can do small milling jobs on it. I made a ball-turning tool for it (using the lathe!) as my first big project.

Your model 64 looks spectacular, by the way! One of the nicest I've ever seen.
