My son and I went out to Arizona last month to get some footage of Granite Mountain's operation.
Here's the result: https://youtu.be/pWnbOinbXKA

This is the first video I've made in someone else's shop. It's a little more difficult than filming in my own shop where I control the pace of the project and can film over several days or, more often, months. Getting the footage from inside the CNC is quite a bit more difficult than filming a Bridgeport as well. John was very gracious with me though and by the end of it we were all covered in coolant from keeping the door open

Another top effort Matt, thanks for posting.

Thank you, very well done.

Interesting. I also looked at the youtube video of your 275 Rigby build. You are definitely in the top few of current gunbuilders.

I've been programing, setting-up and running CNCs for several years and they still amaze me. With carbides you can take a coolant bath and get pelted quickly and repeatedly with the cuttings if you don't close the door/put the shield up.

Thank you!

Slivers: Yes, in hindsight I would have brought only go-pros and stuck them inside the machine with some extra lighting. Then we could have shut the door and been saved from a bath. As it was, my dslr got pretty wet.

Maybe its a secret but I wonder where your model 70 type action is made.

It's not a secret. There not made anywhere now
But when we were making them, it was a collaborative effort between a gentleman named Bill Richardson and myself. He worked out of GMA's shop, I out of mine. Quite a few of the smaller parts were made at a wire EDM place in the midwest.
We only produced around 50 actions.

Amazing.

Genius.

I am thinking all the while, "What is this?"

Then, I realize, it's "only" bottom metal.

Wow!

Thanks for making and posting this, Matthew.

I am truly awed.

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed it.
