great video/ does anyone make barrel blocks for sale/ would hard wood work/ you used oil and brush would white lithium grease work better than the oil/ any information would be appreciated thank you
Any issues using twist drills without continuous coolant in aluminum like that? And with a "perfect fit" over the barrel as you said at 5:41, why would you go bigger with the bore? Kinda makes it impossible to end up with a concentric bore when clamped on the barrel, doesn't it? Slotting and clamping that barrel block vs. just installing it with set screws to prevent movement of the block on the barrel the way AR gas blocks are fitted seems kind of counter-intuitive. Especially since a tight, clamped fit would make it hard for the barrel to expand when hot. Looks like one hell of thick and heavy chunk of aluminum to get "compressed" with the clamp screws, too. What is the purpose of a "barrel block" anyway?
Question sir - i have a WW 11 Japanese rifle - an uncle brought 2 home 1 for him & 1 for my dad. A man was to re-bore for ammo USA type, he messed the barrel up. Should I try to have it re-bored again are change barrel's ?
@@Thomas-qg7vy I think he means II as in the Roman numerals. I'd say rebarrel. Is it a 6.5mm or 7.7mm? The common mod for those rifles in 6.5mm was rechamber with a .257 Roberts reamer, making it a 6.5/257.
