The Win M70. Just some pics.

Accurized M70 the LRI way.


Diamond hone receiver bore, 1st op. Gets the hole straight and taper free:

Bottom of receiver finish machined so that its actually flat:

Notice that the front ring of the action is not held onto. It's completely free and unbiased from the the fixture. NO distortion of receiver ring from "Cats Head" screws, collets, etc. Helps ensure the part stays error free.

Post machining and why we do it this way:

• 1-1/16-18tpi threads
• Higbee cut lead thread
• Resurfaced front ring
• Resurfaced lug abutments
• ID cylinder bored to thread minor
• Thread milled receiver threads
• Gauged threads
• Stepped recoil lug to simplify pillar bedding
• 8-40 scope base hole option in same consolidated setup ensures position accuracy (optional service)
• Clip slotting for lugged LRI made base (optional service)
• Consolidated tool package to reduce tolerance stacking

Chad, what does a job like that cost? What would detailing the bolt cost? Thank you.

 

[LRI]

Standard rate is $275 and includes the fundamental bolt work. Our looming GB will chew on this price. I still have to gather pics of bolts in process.

I have a new machine on order. It's due to arrive later this month. Once its on the floor and running, we'll powershift this offer into gear. (hopefully we miss neutral and reverse, lol)

Thank you for the interest. Tell a friend!

 

[Dai Bando]

Pretty cool Chad.

Anybody doing Winage bbl nuts yet?

 

[Supersubes]

Good stuff Chad, keep it coming! Good price too IMO. I linked this out in a singe text and got someone on the hook for you.

 

[FrankieJames7]

good stuff, i am wondering what you do with the barrel threads and bolt being crooked from the sear

do you completely machine off the old threads and cut new ones or what? how about since the sear pushes the back of the bolt towards the top and creates slight misalignment, do you take that into account when machining the back of the bolt lugs and bolt face?

Yes, old threads gone. The whole sear/lug alignment thing has been argued and debated for as long as I've been tinkering with rifles. The founder of Defiance is also the founder of Nesika. "Borden Bumps" were supposed to solve this "problem". They are part of Nesika bolts, yet they aren't on Defiance actions.

If it's so good, why not? I've yet (in 20+ years) seen a single documented case/test where this has been conclusively proven.

At one time more NRA Highpower Camp Perry Championships were won with M70's than any other manufacturer. I'd bet a $100.00 none had bolt bushings. . .

 

[wichitaguns]

Oh man. I have been debating having my m70 accurized. My fav action after the accuracy international actions. My current m70 is a classic and had a slight feeding issue which is apparently common to certain s/ns. Apparently there is a slight scallop in one of the guide rails which the bullet can nose dive into
so what I am hearing is buy a cheap m70 crf for the action and send it to you! Really glad you are offering g this, I think it's a fantastic action for a custom rifle.

 

[Supersubes]

Chad, just noticed something. Why cant the front of the lug (draft angle) be done in the mill as well? Just curious.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Similar process for a pre 64 ? I have one id love to build.

 

[Marksman10x]

Awesome work!

 

[LRI]

It's the exact same process. Only real change is the hole positions for the optics. Winchester did them a number of ways over the years.

It could I guess, but it's easier to do it in the lathe. Faster setup. Hardinge tool room lathes are about as fast as a lathe gets short of automation. Very handy little machines. I'd rather play with dull razors in a busy street than do work like this on a conventional gap bed machine. X1000 if it has a open jaw scroll chuck on it. (hate em!)

The other advantage is on the lathe the width across the face at the center is heavier. The lathe ends up machining an arc where's the mill would create a flat. Nice to have as the edges generate a natural relief angle as it's pulled out of the stock. The added material in the middle is nice as it keeps the part stiff. -not that it needs to be anywhere near this thick, but whatever.

Thanks for the explanation!

 

[FishDr]

And now to conquer that angled action screw on the M77 ??? I would love to send one of those your way !

 

[wapiti16b]

Chad , what donor action would you suggest for a LA build ie... what model ! . Is the MOA trigger a deal breaker for a build as I prefer the original , is their a work around ?
Thanks !

 

[Edds]

I think I've read your comments saying you didn't think it was important to true the bore on a Model 700 receiver. Why is a Model 70 different?

 

[scubapro187]

Just a thought but if you offered this like the 700 GB I think you'd have a lot of interest.

Additionally, if you had an option for lengthening long actions magazines so people could get max coal out of there m70's it would be awesome.

 

[cav has been]

^^^^ What scuba pro said. Just put my name on the top of the list when you launch that GB. My 300 is ready for updating.

Your right, I have said that. I'm not "truing" the bore for the sake of making it true so much as I am to improve the surface finish and get rid of any/all taper, and to improve the roundness of it. I'm also enlarging it when needed to avoid "spinning" the bolt for Cerakote clearance.

Were talking very, very small values here. Not the reamed bores some have been doing.


The other reason will come later...not ready to cut "that" part of it loose yet.

It's going to parrot the M700. No need to reinvent that wheel at all. We are also going to tie this into the store. The web guy is due to come by, he'll copy/paste the M700 into the M70 so that its completely paperless. Doing so on the M700 has made it so, so much nicer. We can work instead of making phone calls and chasing money. That has been the single biggest leap in getting our lead times down to the absolute best in the industry.

There will also be some new things that come to be with this. More on that later. . .

A fully tuned barreled action turn key with ALL the widgits we offer in less than a week. Unheard of.

 

[Odindad]

Could this be done with a Winchester Model 54?I understand the dimensions are similar except for the front action screw location.I could be wrong.

 

[dirthead1]

Is there any need to adjust primary extraction on a Win 70 action after truing, like you do an the R700?
