Chambering wilson seating dies / Gretan vs Viper jig?

[LVLAaron]

I'll have to figure out how to drill a hole pattern for D1-5. I suppose I could read my DRO manual.

I read the manual. It's pretty easy! haha

 

[LVLAaron]

It might be winter before I finish boring this out, but it's mine dangit!

i made a little jig years ago for wilson dies as well. only difference with mine is that i never put my jacking bolts in line with each other. i offset my back jacking bolts 45 degrees from the front one. this way they are not jacking against each other
text me if anyone wants a picture!

I saw some jigs built on the machinist forums that did that. Makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a shot!

Here it is. I managed to find a “cheap” 6 inch round that’s a foot long. I’ll figure out how to attach it to a back plate and make a specific Chuck for the task.

Man i may need one of those little jigs

Once I figure some things out and do a test run with the aluminum, I really like what this guy did. Direct mount.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Direct mount is definitely the shortest way to go

 

[Skattergun]

I made mine out of aluminum haven’t had any issues.

 

[LVLAaron]

Couldn't sleep. So I built a direct mount fixture.

 

[wk4036]

Yep direct mount is a solid setup,

 

[LVLAaron]

Got a chance to use the fixture/chuck?

I had a 250 dollar 300 blackout barrel that wasn't passing an alignment rod through a suppressor.

Fitted the barrel in, chased threads, re-shouldered, and re-crowned (Factory crown was a little ugly, and had the black barrel coating on it.


The fixture works well. Dialing is a monster pain in the ass but it does indeed work.

Great job. I know im not the only one that would like to see you use set screws in there instead of the cap screws. Its not a problem until it is.

You aren't. I have them, haven't drilled them out for tips yet. I will.

I just buy them pre-tipped from McMaster Carr.

 

[LVLAaron]

I like to do things the hard way.

 

[LVLAaron]

Much better
