I've got 3 form 1's, all will be Ruger Standard (pre-mark 1) 'integrals'. Not true integral since the barrel won't be ported. But the tube will mimic the look of a bull barrel.
Anyway, I'm mounting the receiver and barrel in a Viper fixture so I can thread the barrel. I keep fighting myself mixing up inboard and outboard screws while adjusting.
Just taking a break and having a cup of coffee while I get my mind right. Thought I'd share my frustration.
UGH! Trying to indicate a barrell

Centering and axial alignment is more fun with three supports.mr fixit wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 4:05 pm

I don't think porting is required to be a integral.

I got it dialed in.
I am amazed at the lack of concentricity of the bore to the exterior or the barrel.

Well what did you do. For a integral turning barrel on center is a option.

Re: UGH! Trying to indicate a barrell
Oh I indicated off the bore not the exterior of the barrel. Got it dialed finally after a cup of coffee and some fresh thought. Just crowning and threading the barrel.Capt. Link. wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 11:18 amWell what did you do. For a integral turning barrel on center is a option.
Re: UGH! Trying to indicate a barrell
I used to struggle with indicating things in the four jaw. Abom79 on YouTube helped me figure it out. His formula is slack off the lows and take up on the highs. When your indicator goes counter clockwise you are at a low. Likewise, clockwise is a high.
Re: UGH! Trying to indicate a barrell
Use two chuck keys opposite each other, loosing one and tightening other .... in horizontal position
while reading dial so DTI reads ½ distance.
Rotate 4-jaw 90º and do same. Perform same ritual for the 2 jaws,
Repeat a few times.
The key is to use two chuck keys. Using only one is doomed to frustration.
