KELBLY F-CLASS PANDA ACTION

The F-Class Panda actions are a Panda variation designed for long-range shooting. The dovetail or Picatinny rail (NON-MIL-SPEC Picatinny - Designed for use with 2-piece rings ONLY!) is tilted 0°20’ to compensate for bullet drop at greater distances. The F-Class Panda also includes an integral recoil lug, making it more suitable for the use of larger calibers.

When chambering for a Panda, Kodiak, or Grizzly barrel, cut the tenon 1.0625” in diameter by 1.115” for a cone bolt action or 0.980” for a flat bolt action. For an Atlas barrel, cut the tenon 1.0625” in diameter by 0.692” for a cone bolt action or 0.557” for a flat bolt action. It is recommended to turn the first 0.110“ from the rear of the barrel to 0.966” in diameter. Leave the rear end of the barrel square for now.

Thread the tenon 1.0625 inches in diameter by 18 threads per inch. If you are using the three-wire method to measure the threads, the measurement should be 1.0715” plus 0.0000“, minus 0.0020” using 0.032” wires.

For zero headspace on a cone bolt, run the chambering reamer in until the head-space gauge is flush with the rear of the barrel. For zero headspace on a flat bolt, run the chambering reamer in until the measurement from the base of the head-space gauge to the shoulder of the barrel is 1.115” for Panda, Kodiak, and Grizzly actions or 0.692“ for Atlas actions.

For a cone bolt, set the compound feed of the lathe to 30 degrees. Touch the tool to be used for cutting the cone at the chamber edge and lock the zeroed saddle stop against the saddle. Now back off the stop 0.135”. Using the compound feed only, cut the cone. This should give approximately 0.007” – 0.010” of space between the bolt and the barrel.

For actions with a removable recoil lug, add the thickness of the recoil lug to the tenon and headspace length. For example, an Atlas flat bolt action with a 0.250” recoil lug would have a 0.557“ + 0.250” = 0.807” tenon length and a 0.692“ + 0.250” = 0.942” headspace length.
