Hey Asley, reamer...are you going to do any Ruger Bottom metal or coffin style +1 or +2 round boxes?? I did a +1 that didn't turn out too bad...and I'm doing another today, different design and I will do a +2 in a day or so...be MUCH simpler on CNC equipment than on my worn out manual dogs. A few people are asking. I'm guessing there will be a higher interest when you get found out. You have GREAT reamers. Luck | |||

Joe I couldn't agree more. Especially about your wife's friend. I've run into a few people like that and it just about makes me puke. I can't understand the part of human nature that makes people think that way. All I can say is "Marketing" pure and simple. Now if we can just talk PTG into building double rifles we'd be set. www.KLStottlemyer.com Deport the Homeless and Give the Illegals citizenship. AT LEAST THE ILLEGALS WILL WORK | |||

Do these units have a draft? if so how much? Pics look good. ______________________ Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. | |||

The units do have taper as needed per rifle type. The winchester, Remigton and others will be offered with a drop floor plate in the next run to accept a extra round. | |||

Dave, do your Winchester units fit into the factory inletting for one piece floorplate/triggergards? Glad to see you're making some with the push button latch...I thought I was the only person that prefers it to the Oberndorf latch.

Dave, Ashley, I am certainly in the minority in that I actually LIKE the Winchester two-piece metal. Be that as it may, do you intend to make anything for pre-64 actions? I know there is not a huge market there but there is the occasional need to replace the old aluminum Featherweight stuff. Regards, Bill. | |||

Another vote for +1 or +2 Ruger bottom metal. | |||

ok . we will do it | |||

Can I get a calender for 2010? I was really ill last year, so I did not buy any reamers. Actually I have to order one next week; I will snivel about the calender then  . | |||
|
one of us |
Yeah, that would be nice. I have a pre-64 FW that could certainly use new bottom metal.  Aut vincere aut mori | |||

I have a model 54 I have re-drilled to Model 70 specs which needs some too. I guess I can always modify some Williams stuff. What's this about a calendar? I've never seen one. Do I have to order another reamer to get one? Regards, Bill. | |||
|
| one of us |
Yeah, I used to get a calender every year. I am not sure what the reamer orders per year minimum is. | |||

I would love to see an extra capacity (+1 or 2) for the Model 70 Classic Safari Express (375 H&H) with the Oberndorf release.

If you will send a sample we can do it. I am also talking with Kevin Wyatt about a detachable mag run using his box. Thanks Dave | |||
|
One of Us |
reamer I think 22wrf meant complete Obendorf mauser ACTIONs and BOTTOM metal at a reasonable price. If you know what he meant I will take 6! | |||
|
| One of Us |
No not the action , we can do the metal for you. I did not read his post correctly. Thanks Dave | |||
|
| One of Us |
Damn. I started to dream about ptg mausers in std bolt, 375 length, and .750diam bolts, with or without double square bridge. Bottom metal included all for around $1000. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I vote for Ruger bottom metal and Mex mauser length also. ......civilize 'em with a Krag | |||

Another for Ruger bottom metal....  | |||

Dave Just out of curiousity. I understand that you have the capability to make extremely complicated parts for the airline industry, and of course you make all kinds of parts for the gun industry where tolerances are extremely critical. So why not a mauser action? I would think it would be a piece of cake for a shop with your knowledge, tools, and capabilities. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I would buy good Mauser receivers if they were less than $2000 and I didn't have to blueprint them. Butch | |||
|
one of us |
Are you talking complete actions or bare receivers? I have mulled this over many times. If someone were producing a complete action with bottom metal and safety $2,000 would defiantly be below the cost to convert a military action. Truth be told, when Saterlee was selling complete actions for $3000 it would hard to get a military Mauser to the same point for less. The problem is that $2,000 puts you in competition with the $3,000-$4,000 actions. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

They would do very well if you know how to pick the right supplier and have your product design properly documented. You might have to make several trips and live there a year or two to get everything launched properly. | |||

Any update on PTG bottom metal. Any decision to produce Mauser and Enfield? Any folks using these? Ron | |||
|
One of Us |
Ashley, are there any plans for Mauser 98 long action in the future? I would like to have some for my 500AR project along with bottom metal for my 700 long action prject. | |||
|
| One of Us |
We are working on 98 mauser stuff now for midway usa. Then we will machine some 98 with a winchester/nosler style floor plate with nice latch . Thanks Dave | |||

They're ceratinly capable if you can control the quality of the source steel. There are almost endless stories of pressure vessel ruptures during hydro-test from China. The root cause in the majority of cases I've been exposed to are parent metal failure, not weld issues. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||
|
| One of Us |
No Chinese for me, thank you. I get enough of that crap at Wally World. ......civilize 'em with a Krag | |||

Too much labor-----too many set ups.... That is why Stiller has not done it. | |||

Hoss, The better Chinese factories are making parts for the airliners that we fly on. I have been there and seen the shops, the parts and the documentation. The main issue with China is making sure that the raw materials are up to par. Their aircraft factories understand this. If the Chinese have one thing, that is plenty of labor. Skilled labor in Shanghai gets about $2/hr. In the outlying areas of China skilled workers get about $.50/hr. | |||
|
| One of Us |
SR--agree completely. I am in the Military Aerospace Industry and we do not have the China issue. My bad for not being clear-----too expensive to make here and the custom builders would not be able to sell many rifles built with Chinese actions. | |||

Jerry Stiller and I had that conversation several years ago-------actually begged  him to do it ------ no go. BTW Jerry has the 5 axis CNC ability in house. | |||
