this gum smith thing video is for entertainment purposes only modifying a rival will void its
warranty and possibly lead to unsaved conditions resulting in this member mint deaf and berry elle
in an unmarked gravy no one will mourn you and your friends and family will only remember you
as that guy that wore his shirts too tight out of the box this savage axis probably isn't ready for
a thousand-yard competition it's gonna take some work to get it there we'll be doing a stalk swap
we'll be doing some very careful hand loading and then there's a trick her job here be sure
to subscribe to the social or aggressive so you get instant updates on this total progress billed
if you like us on Facebook there's some nice behind-the-scenes footage and then the playlists
down here is going to have the entire series of videos that goes into bill ding testing and
then actually competing with this rival in the previous video my father-in-law and I eliminated
the trick her creep now it's time to address the pole weight and over travel our current pole
weight is still hovering around six pounds much too heavy for precision shoe king and the over
travel is uncovered by any mechanism in this trick her it's huge and it needs to be fixed before we
get to fixing the pole weight the axis trick her has a hole drilled at the rear to accommodate the
trick her return spring let's remove that spring first chip away the adhesive they use to lock
the spring in place the hole in the trick her is tapped so you will need to unscrew the spring to
remove it the fact that this hole is tapped is a major boon for us this is how we will install
an over travel screw thanks to a tutorial posted by hum king gear guy on his blog we won't have to
guess at the dimensions and thread pitch go out to Lowe's and buy one of their three packs of
three-quarter inch stainless number ten allen screws with a twenty forty p eye thread pitch
since the stalk trick her pole spring is designed to fit into the taps hole we just filled we will
need to replace it some folks use Springs from ballpoint pens or other repurposed items this
Brownells number 71 spring kit contains a variety of springs that should work and work consistently
for decades one problem none of these Springs will fit over our new over travel screw even
if they could they would bind up on the screws threads we need to get rid of them using a pair
of number 1024 nuts to help keep the screw aligned chuck the over travel screw into a hand drill a
file will easily turn those threads right off and reduce the overall diameter to one that can
easily fit inside one of our gum smithing screws one word of caution hand drills are not designed
to handle forces from the side the bearings will wear out if you do this a lot use a lathe if you
have access to one since we don't have a lathe we'll just be careful not to press too hard we're
going to use a lathe file and bake sure you have the smooth park of the lace lathe file up against
the jaws because the other side some of these it has teeth but this the lathe Foster's need to
teeth them need there's teeth on neither side but this one obviously is going to do some damage all
it will work but use the lathe file if you have one if you don't have one grind the teeth off
that will certainly work the spring we ended up using has a wire thickness of 25 thousands only
1000 thinner than the stalk spring this should be a good starting point the spring fits neatly over
our new over travel spindle slightly squash one end of the spring to help it grab onto the over
travel spindle at its base clip the spring to a reasonable length that you know will be
safe it's easy to trim coils from a spring it's more difficult to put them back on install the
over travel screw into your trick her allen head down don't thread it all the way in leave about a
quarter of an inch exposed now slide your spring onto the spindle squash side down to grip at the
base of the spindle reassemble your trick her and test it to bake sure it still functions the
pull weight should be high that's fine let's adjust the over travel first after pulling
the trick her leave the rival uncocked screw in the over travel screw until it just barely bakes
contact with the tang run the bolt and feel the over travel continue adjusting the screw until
you get the over travel you want take note that if you dial in too little over travel the sear will
not retract all the way and the firing pin won't be released the only way to fix this problem would
be to change the shape of the trick her something I am NOT keen on doing I'm content to live with a
little bit of extra over travel a drop of Loctite will bake sure that this screw never moves now
for the grand finale pull weight this one is relatively easy but there are some pitfalls
just grab a set of wire cutters and proceed by cutting one half coil at a time each time you
cut a half coil test the trick her pole you will notice that the pull weight drops be careful here
the spring must always maintain contact with the Tang and there must be enough tension to hold the
trick her steady under the sear if you clip too many coils you may end up with a trick her that
fires unpredictably or won't hold the sear in place once you get down to about four pounds test
the trick her by cocking the rival leaving this safety off and whacking the action with a plastic
or rubber mallet a safe trick her will withstand all but the most severe hids as the pull weight
continues to drop start clipping only a quarter of a coil at a time you will notice that use will
reduce the pull weight instead of just pulling the trick her once each time pull it 20 times
the final pole will be lighter than the first we decided to stop when our trick her reached
three pounds the mallet test indicated that our trick her was safe and a full on drop test was
further confirmation you can continue to work your pull even lower if you wish but we felt that we
had reached a good stopping point the access trick her is not a finely machined piece we're not going
to push it pay close attention here guys because something has changed here that's going to lead to
an unsafe condition when putting this stalk back together with this trick her in place okay pretty
much nothing important has changed dimensionally except that right here we do have this new over
travel screw which descends pretty low into the stalk and let me show you what happens when you
put the rival back together I'm going to apply some tension here kind of simulate the screws
pulling everything down and you can see that this screw sticks down below where the trick her well
is really relieved and if you look here on this the trick her loop section of the stalk here
there's this section of plastic that sticks up and this can actually bake contact absolutely this can
actually bake contact with the screw here when you're tightening this down and it can actually
fire the trick her if you have a dremel tool this is an easy fix just dish out some of the plastic
back here to prevent any contact if you don't have a dremel tool just get some sandpaper wrap
it around a dowel or something and just carve out some plastic right there at this point this trick
her is pretty much exactly what I want it to be it's light it's Korea I think it's going to work
really well but remember that this trick her does not bake the gum more accurate it bakes me a bit
more accurate or it helps me to be more accurate to actually bake the rival accurate that's going
to take a bit more work so again be sure that you have subscribed to the social regressive so
you don't miss out on any of the videos we will be doing a stalk swap on this we will be betting the
action to the stalk and we're going to use two different methods on that will do pillars and
we're going to do a DEFCON 10 110 kind of glass bedding in there and that sort of stuff along
with some very careful hand loading that's going to be what bakes this rival actually accurate you
