Either is OK with me. I'm OK on the price as well but might as well make it two sets.

I'd like one set of polished. Where do I need to send the money and how much total to cover shipping ?

Put me down for 3 sets polished. Let me know when and where to send payment.

jeffeosso,

I have sent you a pm.

Many Thanks

HBH

Jeffeosso,
I would like a couple sets, gloss .
Hopefully the more ordered will help your costs.
Also hope you don't get overwhelmed by all the
orders!!
Please let me know when and how much to where.
Thanks
Charlie

Hi. I have been lurking in this forum for some time and find the info very interesting. This is my first post.
I have a CZ 550 American in 30-06. I want to know if the action bolt screws you are discussing here will fit my rifle(don’t know size or pitch or bolt). If so, please let me know how much they are since I want to buy 2 sets.

Jeffe, any news for the anxious?

Any news on the screws ?

Sorry guys... didn't update...

I've ordered 100 screw blanks and 5 dies for 6mmx.75 .. waiting for them to come in and get started...

I am going to make 50 sets (and throw everything away after )
jeffe

Jeffeoso: How do we put our name in the hat for a set? I own a CZ 550 American in 7x57mm and would love to get a set for that rifle. I've already posted, but is there some order form, do we just post we want a set and wait for you go get back with us on the board? I have no problem mailing you a check right now, if that's what it will take. Thanks for your time ... Tom Purdom

All,
when I get them made up, i'll post my email address and then send the info on the screws...

my "usual suspects" for dies don't have the .75 and I guess i'll go to mcmaster to get it.... sucks...

yes, I COULD do the threads on my lathe, but a dies is easier.

I don't know if the mediums are the same length and head size, but I bet a file will fix the length!!

jeffe

Jeffeosso I am definately interested in a set. As long as they fit the CZ550 Magnum lenght action I am in.

I am in Australia Like PC but would really love a set. Let me know hom much for the set and postage.

Cheers.

Memories here go back so far that it will amaze you.

i've gotten the 100 screw blanks

and CANNOT FIND A FRIGGIN THREAD DIE...

ya'll see if you can't find some, too?

i really REALLY don't want to lathe turn screws

jeffe

Rutland Tool will special order taps and dies in any size or pitch you want. I’ve ordered special sizes before and the price difference for custom sizes/pitches ain’t all that much more than standard sizes carried in their catalog.

Come on Jeffe, chuck that mother up and make chips. It's good practice, and, if you set them up straight, there will be less wobble.

jeffe, maybe you could sub-contract them out to someone that knows what the fuk they are doing

FYJ, Malm,
thanks for the advice..

mcmaster just confirmed they had dies in stock, so the order is placed.

Malm,
turning 100 pieces of .75mm thread? good pratice, certainly... something that is worth anyone's time? heh, not so much.

Maybe you could behave like a member who wants to stay on this site and if you have nothing knowledgeable to add to the discussion, go have a beer.

I'm tired of your shit attitude and snide posts. If you have no respect for our management, go play elsewhere.

Take this as your last warning Jimmy.

Jesus H....

I could write a book about the things Im sick of on this site. WGAF. Jeff is a big boy - let him take care of himself.

If these screws are so damned hard to come by has anyone considered just drilling and re-tapping the receiver for something more easily obtainable like 1/4x20 or 1/4x28?

That last post of mine wasn’t too disrespectful of the moderator was it????????? I certainly don’t want the wrath of Don coming down on me, I hear those Mass liberals can write some pretty nasty letters!

Frankly, because the "customers" didn't ask for their receivers to be redrilled, they asked for screws.

and since it is an odd size, even in metric countries, it's an odd duck. If it was m6x1, there's a zillion of the dies laying around.

anyway, they wanted a hex head screw for an m6x.75, and will get them.

Nope, but it alerted me to the fact that your former user account was on the ban list.

Gee, Rick Warren returns.

I wish the heads weren't so big on these blanks. I don't have a lathe so I get by with a drill press and a file, a real pita.

Jeffeosso:

I have measured the lenght of the bolts for the CZ 550 American (30-06) rifle. They are a somewhat shorter than the Magnum action. They are:

The long one: 1.644 inches long (the unthreaded part is 0.994 inches in length)

The short one: 0.954 inches long (the unthreaded part is .0406 inches in length)

The diference in size is the lenght of the unthreaded par of the bolt. All other parts are the same.

If you are willing to make the bolts for the standard action (30-06 size). I will be more than happy to pay for the extra work involved.

Thanks.

bump btt

Jeffe, is a progress report possible?

Bump so as not to be forgotten.

I still want a set also, jeffe.

sorry, fell off the track.

I have several sets made, and will be bluing in 10 days.

EMAIL ME
jeffeosso at weaponsmith.com

to tell me what you would like.
give me your mailing adress

These are going to be a hair long, on purpose.

if you don't like them, just send them back

I do not know if they will fit a brno 60X or a cz medium, so caveat emperator

Interesting word choice. The Latin phrase caveat emptor of course means 'let the buyer beware'. The phrase caveat venditor means 'let the seller beware'. In Latin, there's no "emperator" but there is a word, imperator. Imperator was an imperial title sometimes self-endowed by military commanders. So caveat imperator would translate from the Latin as, "let the self-proclaimed big wig beware".

And that, boys, is your Latin lesson for today.

Forrest, I wish you hadn't kept quiet 14,721 times.

You see, I even used one of the smiley faces. But I think I'll be able to shorten a screw if required.

forrrest.. that was funny... and what was i thinking, i can't even spell in english

Bump btt
