 “Precision Rifle Rebarreling and Case Preparation

on a Home Shop Lathe plus Load Development and

Long Range Shooting” by John Stranahan

          The Following is a list of topics that are covered in the CD that Comes with “Precision Rifle Rebarreling on a Home Shop Lathe”. These topics which include about 400 new photos are in addition to the topics covered in the book. The color copies of the 172 photos in the book are also contained on this same CD. They include aligning the Lathe and details of a flood coolant system. Each topic, below, has a short text file and a sufficient number of photos to detail the topic. The Receiver Truing Jig has about 54 photos detailing its construction. These 54 photos include the use of a rotary table to index the work every 90 degrees. An alternate method to do the indexing with an angle plate is also discussed.

          The Winchester Model 70 project (in progress) includes a 67 photo series describing the making of a bedding block.
