Beep beep da beep. All the news that isn’t the news

On the international front, our president is ready to send troops to the Ukraine and getting us into another needless war (reference: Iraq) However, this war will involve Russia and that could spell a world war with some rather serious implications. Plus, getting involved in the Western Hemisphere leaves China free to invade Taiwan which would be a real loss to the world. This is what happens when you hire bozo the clown to run the most powerful nation in the world.

We have more than sufficient issues on the home front to be worrying about Europes problems, which in a way mr. president brought on by sanctioning the Gas pipeline into Western Europe from Russian. This made Western Europe dependent on Russia for much of their energy needs and thereby made them something of a client state. Sad state brought on by a very sad, very poorly acting individual sitting in the White House. (When he is not hiding in his basement in Delaware.

Mr. Bozo, please tell us how starting World War III is going to help you resolve your lack of popularity in the polls.

Weapons in Ukraine conflict

I know they have been fighting for a long time but I recently started paying close attention and have browsed them web for stories, images, videos of the “front” to understand the conditions.

I was very surprised to see many brands that we discuss on the hide being employed in eastern Ukraine.

A Russian “fsb” sniper team with a suppressed ai axmc 338 with a nightforce scope

A female Ukrainian sniper with a cadex rifle topped off with a gen ii razor

Daniel defense, bcm and various AR’s

A Ukrainian sniper competition where I saw athlon, khales, vortex and nightforce scopes represented

I probably should not be surprised, but I am surprised to see our hobby gear getting put to real work in Ukraine. I was very surprised that the “fsb” team was using an ai, they also had a kestrel

If you haven’t looked, explore the web and see what is going on, looks like life is gonna suck a whole lot more in Ukraine very soon

The wood came from an old mantle above the fireplace in the house I recently bought. They were two 12 foot 6x4s. My wife took one look at the mantle and said shit has to go. It was stained dark brown and was just way too 80's. I had been wanting an old school built, no nails or screws, bench to mount my reloading stuff to and use as a general gun smithing/cleaning spot. So all tenon and mortise and pinned with a one inch dowel. So do I stain it or leave it in the white and let it develop character over time? Guns are for size visual. Its 4 foot by 22 inches.

Gunsmithing Bedding question

ORIGINAL POST DOWN BELOW
**EDITED TO ADD**

Ok so I think you guys pretty much convinced me to go all out and install pillars. There is actually a very close family friend with a drill press and so long as he lets me use it, I'm sure I can get the holes drilled in perfectly square.

I think some of you mentioned drilling the stock for the pillars with some bit of extra clearance so this makes me more comfortable. My action is going to go into the stock with the pillars and screws already on it so the pillars will be square (accidentally bedding pillars not squared was my initial concern) to the action regardless and the bedding compound will fill whatever clearance was in the stock on the pillar holes.

Having said that, I still have some concern. The front action screw is right on the integrated recoil lug. This means the pillar is going to sit deep in the recoil lug inletted part of the stock. Will this be problematic or cause inconveniences in the bedding process? Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I plan to pretty much do it the way @iceng described. Drill out holes for pillars in stock, drop the action in with pillars and screws attached to it, and let the bedding do its thing. I'm just trying to make sure I can prepare for anything different that this particular type of action may require (being that it's front action screw is where it's at).





ORIGINAL POST STARTS HERE:


Hello all,

I will be taking on a project very soon. I will bed a howa mini into a boyds laminate. I'm very self-inclined to work on things myself and enjoy it for the most part.

This is really just going to be a budget build for hunting texas deer inside 200 yards and to be used as a truck gun. I also don't have a drill press to make pillar holes perfectly straight into the stock. For these two reasons, I will not be using pillars.

I feel confident to do the whole bedding myself. One of my biggest concern is putting the screws in. I plan to plug the action screw holes on the action with a bit of play-doh after I've applied some release agent in them. However, when I set my barreled action into the stock, I'm sure some of my bedding compound is going to flow into the screw holes on the stock. So long as my screws are covered in release agent, I will be perfectly fine to do it this way?

And what release agent have you guys found to work best?

Brass collapsing issue (6gt)

So recently got my GAP 6gt and was loading the first rounds today and had an issue I haven’t had before.

The brass is collapsing at the neck under seating pressure. I never got the bullets close to seating and the brass just collapsed. I tried one, thought it was a fluke, had it happen again, then even ran the mandrel through a neck again to be sure and went real slow and it happened a third time.

You can see the three pieces. It’s virgin Hornady brass purchased from GAP and with a .2415 mandrel run through it. The bullet barely made it past the boat tail.

Am I doing something wrong here? I haven’t been loading a long time but never had this with the 308 rounds I’ve loaded. Though I’ve never started with virgin brass, always once fired factory brass.

Any help appreciated.
