Ronin Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Care package arrived this morning - the heart for my new F Class rifle A thing of beauty Borden Rimrock BRMXD action - the first in the UK.. Stunning quality, no slop in the bolt at either end of travel, several new features over the standard Rimrock (which is a world class action to start with) Oversize action diameter - increased strength and rigidity Integral recoil lug Machined steel trigger hanger Vent holes within bolt body Pinned SS Picatinny Rail Anyway, enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

force64 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Looks unbelievably high quality. Just one question why the need for vent holes in the bolt body? Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andy Can only guess that in the event of a head separation or primer failiure high pressure gas will flow into any pathway and as the bolt face / extractor and firing pin hole are natural escape holes a vent in the body of the bolt makes perfect sense.

Ronin Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 So, I am on with the build in earnest now; Thought id show a few more images as the build progresses The stock is a cherry laminate F Class design, which I bought from from Greg West in the states about 15 years ago and have sitting waiting for that "special project" It was originally inletted for a Barnard P action and I have had to open the action inlet a little to accomodate the slightly larger diameter BRXMD action. In order to do this I had to make a temporary jig to hold the stock in the mill so it ran true along the centre line of the original inlet - my mill isnt a Bridgport and has limited bed travel... The completed inlet Action holes cut and inlet guide rods inserted - action sits nicely but requires a little more work.... Though is perfectly aligned in the stock: More will follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brave Echo niner Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Lovely, look forward to seeing how it shoots! Guess that's dependant on whos behind the rifle, maybe with you we'll never know its true accuracy! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nice one Ronin. How about the K1050? Bix'n Andy has close contacts to Kahles ....If you have contact to him. What is the diameter of the action? edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Edi Action OD is 1.475 (37.4 mm) but ive opened the overall inlet to 1.5" to allow a thin strip of bedding material at the uppermost surface to the stock as a transition bettween the action and wood - obviously the substrate bedding will be a great deal thicker and incorprating pillars and an escutcheon for the forward action screw. I hadn't considered the K1050, having looked at the spec, it is now on the list, along with the new Leopold, March FX and NF (though depends on funds) - I may settle for second hand NSX and see how I do returning from over 12 months absence from the league will be difficult as I hear there are plenty of "new contenders" Ben, thanks, maybe i'll find someone to shoot it for me There is a great deal more work to do on the stock fitting and finishing yet - very much a work in progress at the moment.

My dealer sourced mine from RUAG UK and the price to me was very good indeed. I'd happily buy another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
