    Sept 6 Guardian Long Range Competition - Wytheville, VA

    WHAT a fantastic day! Weather, wind, heat, all things that came in to play really made for interesting shooting conditions. Although I did not shoot, my 'Sponsoree' did and I was able to attend for a while and talk to some great new people, and people I have known for years including Dan...

    Gunsmithing I've had it with Tactical Rifles.

    What's so hard about turning the lights on and getting the machines going to build rifles? They are, afterall, (self) touted to be superior in all ways? The challenge is that with these claims come proof, and everything so far has been counter to that. Success is bred by success and obviously...

    Gunsmithing Kinky Chit Friday...

    We here at the hide get to see a diverse selection of methods in gunsmithing, we see it time and time again with the 'How do you do this?' threads and the 'This method vs that method.' Everyone who has done it successfully, wether it be X or Y method will argue that it is THE method. In this...

    Gunsmithing SOT 07 ITAR and Excise Question

    Really, as explained to me, anything shooting or even considered Defense. I know ITT Night Vision was fined a tremendous amount for not paying ITAR. ATF though- will often times NOT tell you about the ITAR thing, and then you find out later on and realize you are paying out more than you are...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Training????

    Just make sure they WILL set you up as a Certified Applicator Dennis. They limit the number of Certified Applicators in one area, and are these days very discerning about who they will approve. Kind of like Stihl Dealerships and Repair stations, same kind of set up. There is already a Certified...

    Gunsmithing From Krylon to Cerakote ??

    Well, as a Certified Applicator myself, it would be no big deal really. Every metal part gets blasted to remove all traces of old finish- including Krylon, then prepped accordingly. So what is on it currently is not really an issue. The stock can be blasted at a lower pressure to remove any...

    Gunsmithing My NEW cartridge!

    Well.... yes 'WOW' is one way to put it. It's (as stated) a 6.5 Arisaka that was a bargain basement buy at 60$ in a decent Bishop walnut stock. After doing a little measuring here and inspecting there, should be able to go right in and make a 6.5 CM out of it and get rid of all the trashy...

    Gunsmithing My NEW cartridge!

    Think my new 6.5 double shouldered bulge-body primer popper will catch? Someone with no reamer, no 6.5 Arisaka Ammo and a drill bit tried this one. Wondering WHAT they were 'shooting' for?

    Gunsmithing Remington/HS Precision buttplates????

    Gentle heat. They are glued. Sometimes that doesn't even work...... Use caution and go slow.

    Gunsmithing Removing high gloss look from 1980's era factory R700

    One word answer to do it. Scrape. Make a stock scraper and sit down and get busy scraping, the old BDL finish was a 2 part epoxy marine grade clear coat and it is hard as hell and tough as nails. When it comes to the checkering, it will require the use of chemical stripper and a toothbrush OR...

    Favorite powder for 6.5 Grendel

    I'm intimately familiar with the Grendel, from Dr. Palmisano's 6.5 PPC up to and through the current 6.5 Grendel 2 Chamber offerings. Just curious where that 11k Reamer development number came from. First I heard of that aspect of it. Not familiar at all with SH Group buy, been out of service...
