Question: I recently ordered Remington 700 Pillar Bedding Blocks to bed my model 600 Remington. In the instructions they say to measure the distance between the bottom of the cutout for the cocking piece sear and the threaded end of the rear guard screw. What is the cocking piece sear? I would appreciate your help.
Answer: The cocking piece sear is the metal block that sticks out from the bottom of the cocking piece and rides in the slot in the rear tang. Basically what they are saying is to record the position of the rear screw where it comes up through the rear of the receiver when the rifle is correctly assembled. This way, you can take the action out of the stock and reassemble it with the screw in the same position and easily measure the distance between the top and bottom metal where the pillar will go. Of course, if all else fails, you can shorten the pillar by trial and error (I have done this a lot in the past, and it works.) Good luck with your project.
Question: I just ordered a NECG Hard Rubber Spacer. What is the best way to grind them to shape? Also, what type material is used to do the grinding and polishing?
Answer: The best way to grind the spacer is with either a bench-mounted belt, or disc sander using 220 grit and then doing the finishing work by hand with a finer grit. You could also do this on a buffer using a very fine grit like 500 to get it polished up nicely.
Question: I have a hunting rifle based on Mauser Action in 30-06. It has a Ram Line stock, but I want to buy a wood one from you. All I see stamped on the barrel is Centurion Arms Model 123 , and the bolt knob is over 1.5 " from the stock. The problem is, I have no idea what the small or large rings are, and what model it is. It has a safety on top of bolt which swings down for “Off”, and has a flip-down magazine base as well
Answer: Measure the diameter of the front receiver ring (where the barrel screws into) with a set of calipers. If it measures 1.410", it is a large ring, and if it measures 1.300" it is a small ring. Also, the distance center-to-center between the stock bolts on the floorplate for a large ring should be 7.835", and the small ring should be 7.620".
