    Gunsmithing Recontour barrel

    Gunsmithing One more question about my bedding job

    Spot on here. I can't fully tell from pics what is going on. At first I thought you had too little compound in the middle and that's why the coverage looked the way it did. Looking again, maybe just some low areas got filled and thats why it looks the way it does. I wouldn't actually hog the...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this firing issue?

    Sounds like a sear engagement issue. First thing- stop shooting the rifle. Second- have someone that's knows what they are doing look at it. No sense in getting seriously injured or killed. Having the rifle fire when you are unlocking a bolt is fail city dude.
