This is using the same Shilen 260 Remington barrel & Model 10 Action from the rifle I first built several years ago. But I decided on a complete overhaul & rebuild. Stripped it back down to parts & sandblasted. Added a new International barrel nut, and Cerakoted everything myself in Armor Black. Baked the parts in my homemade curing oven as well. Turned out nice.
Much better than the bluing the Cerakote replaced.
I’ve also added some parts as well. It’s using a Talley Picatinny rail & ADM scope mount holding my new US Optics TS-20. Replaced the Glades Arm. Bolt Handle with a Titanium Handle from Lumley. The Bolt Knob I also machined from a round bar of 6AL4V Titanium. Lumley also supplied a Titanium rear DLC coated BAS (Action Screw), which is retaining the S7 tool steel firing pin I machined, and coupled with a 20lb Flat Wire, Chrome Silicon spring. The pin is fit to the PTG Bolt Head I’ve been using. Given the extra firing pin weight & fit and set for max fall, I get full primer ignition, at only about .032” or so FP protrusion, perfectly centered strike & no cratering. (Builders & Reloaders love this stuff!) the Chassis is a Mirage URL & replaces the MDT I had. I also Cerakoted it but in Tactical Grey. And the Bipod is also one of my projects; machined from 2024 Billet, Carbon Fiber & Titanium Rod. I made a thread showing it previously. This is the rifle the Bipod was designed & built for. The whole Rig weighs in at 16lbs. I couldn’t be happier with how this one turned out. I’ve had THIS exact build pictured in my mind for the last several years. I started collecting the parts over Winter & doing the Cerakote & rebuild this past Spring. Unfortunately the heat & humidity of of Summer brought everything I do to a stand still. So I was only able to finish everything since it’s cooled down. Not bad for a One Eyed, One Armed, Crippled pug. like me, eh..
