It’s good to be posting back on here with my next LEGO style adventure especially after giving up my beloved M14 Clinics and then disaster struck with the 2020 OIC Bans and my AR15 Joy. Time to move on, As Bruce Lee said, “ Be like water…”
Here’s the context…..I’m grateful to Wolverine Supplies for having me showcase many platforms over a decade. They’ve been hooking me up with all sorts of platforms that I could never afford on a retiree’s pension. In search of the next hobby / build / tinkering process, I’ve returned back to my early beginnings when I had 2 kids in Elementary School. Since that time, many things have happened to the Remmy 700 platform world in the way of so many custom actions and barreling arrangements, WOW! I feel like Marty McFly in “Back to the Future!”
Back in 2003 in the Main Battle Rifle Forum here on CGN, I told many of you, “Don’t buy ONE Norinco M14: BuY TWO of them! “. Many of you did just that and much fun was had tinkering and making ANY Norinco better.
I took my own advice , I bought a couple of the 700 rifles in ADL and / or used formats here on CGN via local sponsors and used on the EE Forums. Here’s a couple of my latest upgrades with Casey the owner of Tactical Ordnance north of Newmarket, ON. He’s a master craftsman currently buried in So much demand / work / orders/ contracts, you name it, he’s swamped. Rightly so because he turns everything into gold with his magic touch and attention to detail.
I’m trying to keep my posted pictures in sequence but the new forum software has me re-learning all over again. The first picture shows my bolts returned after the bolt knob threading process before the Loctite treatment. I left both knobs a few threads out so you can see the squarish Remmy bolt handle after the 5/8”x24 lathe process. It leaves a ridge with sharp corners and this can cause an unsightly and rude awakening on your hands.
The second picture is another view / angle of the knob / handle interface
Here’s Casey’s input; he makes his own Badger Ordnance style knob with a tapered / chamfered mouth to interface seamlessly with that sharp corners examine the shine off the mouth of the bolt knob in the third photo. I left it standing so you can zoom in on that chamfered surface! sharp ridges are now covered and no more threats to my soft retired teacher hands ! Yuk Yuk Yuk....
It’s a nice touch and I wanted to share such a fine and appreciated detail. Now it’s time to Loctite those babies down!
Tactical Ordnance does all kinds of VangComp (sp?) and CeraKote magic. Visit their website and peruse their gallery! They truly are magicians!
Peace Be The Journey!
