Gunsmithing Homemade universal (except lefties) bolt handle threading fixture, just finished!

[ken226]

I've only ever threaded one bolt handle, because I lacked the fixture for it and setting up a boring bar on the 4 jaw while holding the bolt with the compound rest was such a pain in the ass that I never wanted to do it again without the fixture. the cost of a Remington fixture, and a Howa fixture, and a Winchester fixture, and a Weatherby fixture all seemed stupid for something i'd need at most a couple times a year.

I was holding out for a universal fixture, but never really found one. I got off my ass yesterday and designed my own. So here it is, 8 hours of manual turning, milling and tapping later!!

Very cool and very clever.

I hope it lasts you a lifetime and you make your millions accordingly!

I just patented it for you, in my name of course.
