PEAX Equipment

Carbon fiber Model 70 build

Got the barrel cut to length, crowned, and threaded 5/8-24 3A. Screwed on and timed the APA brake. Double checked that the barrel bore was concentric and then bored out the muzzle brake to .328". Tapered the back end of the brake and blended it with the barrel. Added a small chamfer to the front. APA left a hard corner there for some reason.
I also cut a stub gauge with the length of barrel I cut off. They're pretty handy for reloading.

I've got a little bit of body work left to do on the stock to have it paint ready. The barreled action is ready for it's new engraving then it'll get a fresh bead blast finish.

Starting to look like a rifle!

Spent most of the day cleaning up the shop, managed to get some laser work done.
Since I recut the receiver threads I engraved the new size on the bottom.
I added a witness mark to the bottom of the muzzle brake to aid in getting it oriented correctly after any future removal.
