What's the best way to cut the barrel bedding area.
I read where some people use a .700 end-mill and other say a .750 end-mill is acceptable as long as you watch the depth.
But what about using a 14mm end-mill.
Do you have a tilting head on your mill? If so, there's a way to make a .75 endmill cut the specified .8 U groove.
However, I just did mine with a .75 end mill and tested it until the barrel dropped down, upon racking the slide, just enough to disengage the lugs and not drag on the the slide. Took a while, but worked.
What about using a 3/4 inch ball end mill and use just the end to cut the bedding area for the barrel.
I would think that would be easier to keep the depth in specs.
Any ideas or suggestions if that would work?
For some reason I was thinking a 14mm end mill would work. After rethinking I realized that .551 is not going to work
On a side note does anyone know if there will be anymore low cost frames available in the near future by any supplier?
I know KT has frames but I don't have the change at this time.
I don't think the 0% frames that the guy on gun broker has can be turned into a viable frame because of shape of the disconnecter area
I used a 3/4" ball end mill on my frame with no adverse side effects. All it really needs to do is provide clearance for the barrel to clear the locking lugs.
