Now with carbide you can use a lighter machine, very high RPM (where HSS cutters would melt) and as a result not need to take a really large bite. Carbide made machining hard materials so easy it was like "how did we ever lived without it". HSS made things a little easier, can spin faster, take smaller bites, but still require coolants and a stiff machine. HCS end mill meant you had to be really careful, use lots of coolants, and a very good, stiff machine that is capable of taking a large bite without stalling. I'm also saying that I'm sure it was possible to do a lot of things before the advent of HSS, CNC, etc. So no I'm not waging war on HCS taps, but I'm waging war on CHEAP hardware store quality "made in USA" HCS taps. I did say that "not that there's anything wrong with HCS taps as long as they are properly heat treated and ground such as Greenfields". In that case I might as well not even clean it. Unless unbolting the barreled action from the stock somehow detracts from its collectibility.
I mean all kinds of people come up with those mods where the mods are completely reversible if they should want to sell it. Sorry if I come across so obtuse, I just thought of a good idea to make use of rifles without having to do any machining on the actions or barrels but still make it usable for sports. Anymore than putting a scope mount where the rear sight is so you can put a EER scope on it.Īnd by the way if any of these rifle ends up at some other military's armory (it does happen, they have found original STG44 in Iraq before), you bet your ass the receiver will be drilled the heck out of it and have whatever they need put on it. I'm not going to do anything in any way, shape or form on any original parts.
You have the impression that I'm going to cut the barrel off, cut the stock and somehow re-carve them into something else that it's not. They do make bullpup stocks for Remington 700 and functionally it is about the same, so you can still operate the bolt. If I want to donate this rifle to some museum in Buenos Aires I can remove the barreled action from those new parts (that as you said may not turn out to be a good idea), put original, stock, serial number matching part on it, and no one in Buenos Aires will tell that it has ever been modified in any way (other than the fact that the crest was ground off by the Argentine government). I will not hacksaw the barrel in any way, nor attempt to replace the barrel with anything else but keeping it original. I am talking about fabricating new parts, clamped onto any original parts.
I'm not going to cut, drill, or reblue ANY original parts. I think you are misunderstanding me (whether or not this is deliberate, I do not know)
