Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing M77 Build 338 Win Mag

So, we had an old Ruger tang safety parts gun.



Found a New Old Stock unused Ruger 338 Win Mag barrel. Ran the slack belt grinder across it to remove the "warning lettering" and to prep the barrel for a rust blue or whatever finish we decide on.





Ready to headspace






Action trued, head spaced to minimum, barrel fitted to receiver.



Throated for 210 Nosler Partition



Making Pillars





Pillars installed; stock bedded with Steel Bed



Note the thermometer. I cure at 100 to 110 degrees for 24 hours under an infrared heat lamp.
