I have had these bits in the cupboard for some time now, decided to assemble and put it to use.
Rifle is based on Hall Model B action. Made in 1981. Currently has the original Hart 308 barrel fitted in 1981 and fired 300rds since.
I have a couple of good used 6mm barrels that will be put to use.
That's a very beefy action. Some would say I'm not qualified to judge what is a good looking stock, but if I was, that one would certainly get a prize.
cam,
those hall actios had a very good reputation for fit, finish, fine tolerances and correctness.
a rifle to be proud of.
who did the bedding and inletting, and who will glue it?
what type of glue, and any info on prep before gluing?
keep safe,
bruce.
I inletted and bedded the action with Devcon. I used pillars but I don't think this was necessary as the stock is super strong.
I glue in with high strength Araldite. A fine coating to the action and the bedding surfaces. Slowly tighten screws to let all air escape. Screws are only lightly tightened. I have the barrel removed when doing this so there is no stress on the action.
Prepare surfaces to be glued with a light going over with 400 grit. Then clean and clean with acetone. Good preparation is vital.
I have never had an action let go.
a lovely rifle cam.
i am envious.
unlike many, i believe strongly in glue ins if done properly and stress free.
i also believe that if a torque wrench is required to do up action screws consistently, there is a fault in std bedding. this is a failsafe test for stress free.
keep safe,
bruce.
