8-40 base screw conversion fixture

[Slickrick0999]

Well, we had a little time in the shop waiting on components for a build to come in so we decided to make our own fixture to hold a remington short action for converting the base screws to 8-40.
Check it out and let us know what you think...

Only problem i see, and its a big one, is that i dont have one.

How can you not have one? When you make it, drill for short and long action.

I made one that also lets you hold it sideways and upside down so you can do bolt-release slots.

I like that design! We might look at incorporating something similar.
Awesome job!

I still use the Forester drill jig . That tool has definitely paid for itself tenfold!
