Triggered.....

Triggers and sears installed in the housings. Next will be to install springs, adjustment and set screws. The triggers are adjustable for pull and seat engagement. The larger house in the housing is for viewing the sear/trigger engagement.

Also, the pivot point for the trigger is towards the rear. This reduces the amount of travel at the blade of the trigger, but amplifies the travel at the front. This reduces felt creep. The forces acting on the trigger from the mainspring to the sear are perpendicular to the pivot point of the trigger. Again, to reduce drag, creep and helps make the trigger more crisp

Organization always helps productivity especially when working on several at a time. Just a few components left to make and assembling then begins

Shot of few videos filing up one of the sidelevers. This just gets the lever to shape and ready to start polishing.

Making more progress on the sidelever actions. Safety is installed and operates smoothly and crisp. It blocks both the sear and trigger.

This action is ready to harden the internal components and polish every surface. It cocks, fires, extractor is timed and stout, safety works and it opens and closes like butter. I'll polish it up and get on to the next action. One at a time at this point

Let the polishing begin. Start with files where needed, then stone from 220 to 400 and move to paper up to 400. A little wd-40 for lubricant.

Why do you like to start with stones and then move to paper?

using stones first keeps things crisp and flat until all of the tool marks are out. Then moving to paper to create a more uniform finish.

Thanks. I’ve never used stones before, just paper backed by the right shape of wood. My needs have needed much less precision than yours!

Bailey, anyone who thinks hand built rifles are expensive should watch this "build along", to see the work involved. It might change their opinion. I pretty much already knew that a lot of time consuming work is involved, but your excellent coverage has surely refreshed my mind. RJ

It is really enjoyable to watch a true artist at work. Much knowledge, along with MUCH patience is involved. Thanks for posting all the videos. I had no idea how much hand work is involved. Russ

There are two studs that hold the front end of the trigger group. The stem of the stud passes to the outside surface of the bottom tang and are welded in place.

This one is 99% finished. Amazing what a good polish will do. Fully functional and ready to barrel. It will wear a Brux barrel and be chambered for the 6.5x65R cartridge. Very comparable to the 6.5-06 but with a rim. It also has an incredibly beautiful stock blank of curly Turkish walnut selected.

I will make a video that goes through all of the features and operation in the next day or so.
