Join Caleb from Brownells in the second installment of our Bolt Action Rifle Build Series. In this episode, we jump right into assembling a bolt action rifle.
We start by installing a Proof Research barrel in a 6.5 Creedmoor Zermatt Origin style action. Caleb introduces the Short Action Custom Barrel Vise, an innovative tool that simplifies the process. He also covers the use of an action wrench, torque wrench, and other needed tools.
Next, we go into the intricacies of barrel installation, discussing different barrel types, including the Savage small shank style with a barrel nut. Caleb demonstrates how to properly apply torque, check headspace, and ensure everything is aligned correctly.
The video also includes a detailed walkthrough of installing a trigger mechanism, using a Timney trigger as an example. Caleb explains the importance of correct installation and safety checks.
Finally, we head on over to installing a muzzle device and dropping the barreled action into a chassis. Caleb uses the MDT HNT 26 chassis, showing the correct method to install the action.
Throughout the video, Caleb emphasizes the importance of precision and attention to detail in building a reliable and accurate bolt action rifle.
