Recently ordered a few bolt action kits but since they were new to my lineup I wanted to add bushings to the order.
Wouldn't you know, plenty of kits but the bushings were out of stock. If figured I would just turn sans bushings between centers, however it's still nice to have bushings in place to get to a point where you know it's time to start measuring with the calipers, so the search began for bushings that were fairly close.
Majestic Squire bushings are almost perfect. They fit the tubes nicely and are just a touch fatter than the finished diameter of the bolt action requirements. So using these bushings allowed me to turn quickly down to the bushing size then chuck up between centers and caliper to the final size.
Saved a bunch of time by not having to check with the calipers constantly until it was close to the finished diameter.
