baldie Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Here's a couple of different guns just finished. First is one built for Running deer. Its in .223. Its a Valkyrie Thor action which is polished and has a one piece 20 moa rail fitted. Fluted bolt and the huge oversized handle to ensure no misfeeding during a deer run. The barrel is a 1 in 9" border Archer, in parallel profile and 20 " long, bead blasted finish. The gun swings beautifully. Trigger is a jewel, and its sat in a fully bedded AICS stock. Second is a .308 built on a fully blueprinted Remmy 700 action. This has a Border archer, fluted and screwcut barrel and a 6 baffle Atec mod. Trigger is a jewel. Bolt is helically fluted and fitted with a badger style knob. The stock is a TAC 21 and has been hydro dipped in a realtree cammo pattern. The butt is a Magpul PRS and it has an AFG fore grip.

Major Disorder Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I found that on my Tac-21 the original QR ( in the pic) buttstock kept coming loose. MDT can supply a replacement V2 QR which I've found to be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breacher Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Do you do the dipping in-house ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No Brian, This was done by Hydrographics in York. There are two more businesses set up near me however, offering the same stuff. It looks good, but it does,t wear well, and you cant touch it up like duracoat.

rsc1960 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Baldie. very nice looking rifles, I am new to this technical talk but may I ask what blueprinted means. I have read it on a few posts and most seem to be when people talk about remington rifles, is this something to do with them as a maker ? thank you RSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Blueprinting is basically making the action how Remington would like to, but couldn,t afford to. A basic blueprint involves recutting the reciever threads oversize, and truing them to the centreline. Also squaring the reciever face, bolt abuttments , bolt face and bolt lugs, and fitting a ground lug. More involved work includes shimming the bolt or fitting a custom one and reaming the raceways. If you are going to go to such lengths, it makes more sense to start with a custom action. A basic blueprint usually produces a very accurate rifle.
