where do you get the bolt and other parts needed for the magnum build. Arent they different from the long rifle? Rick!

Bolt and charging handle are included with the receiver.

Project Update

I ordered a reamer today so maybe I'll finally get my barrel hole drilled. I hope to have the receiver finished by the end of the weekend. Will post progress as it happens.

 

[Jeebes]

I mocked it up in the stock tonight also, here's a teaser.

 

[Jeebes]

Finally finished it! It has it's flaws, but I think it went together pretty well for my first 80% build.

Reaming the barrel hole

And the v-block holes

Finished project

 

[mikegeo]

I wouldn't say finished project. Maybe finished building. Now the fun begins to get it to cycle rounds

 

[Jeebes]

I had it cycling last night after I put it together, so far so good.

 

[mikegeo]

did you have to open the front of the bolt to accept the round? trim the bottom of the bolt to clear the magazine??

 

[Jeebes]

Nope didn't have to open the bolt, and the bottom of the bolt was already milled to clear the magazine when I got it. I think Phil? from select fire got enough complaints and milled then to clear the magazine before he sell them.

 

[mikegeo]

Mine came about 3 weeks ago. And the bolt was pretty messed up. Took a few hours of tweaking to get it going.

Sorry to hijack, but what trigger group do you guys use on these magnum builds? Does the company sell them aswell? Do you use a standard 10/22 and upgrade the spring?

I've been thinking about building one of these in 17 hmr. I built two of their 10/22's last fall as a practice run. Came out pretty good. One went into a benchrest stock, the other my buddy put into a modded carbine lightweight.

Same problem with the barrel holes. I finally drilled one size undersized on my drillpress setup. Then I chucked up an expanding reamer and snuck up on the fit I was after. Probably not the best way, but great final results if you take you time. Got the large bit set and expanding reamer set from harbor freight. cost me less than $60 with coupon. Much less than one dedicated reamer would have cost me. Proof positive that it can be done on a drillpress....

The trigger group is the same as the 10/22. All the improvements work the same way...

Yup I'm gonna build a 17 HMR, right after I get my marlin model 60 17 HM2 going.

Im using a stock ruger 10/22 trigger group. Stock spring, might get a light fin strike every 50 rounds or so but works fairly well.

Finished the Razor and she shoots like a champ. Still need to zero but all in all it was a good build.
