    Storing Rifle for Extended Period of Time?

    kinda vague on the details will there be power available? cold storage? humidity levels? dusty environment? coastal area? length of storage? the reason I ask is because we can go as far as coating the whole thing in cosmoline for long term burial in the worst of environments. or it could be as...

    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    I'm sorry, but we are going to continue going off topic because it's just unrealistic on so many levels. You already got a multitude of answers, and in the end modifying this rifle to save 3 pounds, will devalue and make it far difficult to shoot assuming it's even safe to shoot at that point...

    Gunsmithing Could it be built, and would it work.

    well could it be done, sure. would it cut sound enough not to use ear pro, maybe on a .22lr, but then were heading into "intention" territory which makes it an NFA part.

    Gunsmithing Vacuum Pumps

    I just use a 2 CFM pump from Harbor Freight. its been pumping away for a few years now. considering its also used out at our little Goat dairy, its done well.

    Gunsmithing Bench vice

    I have some no name swiveling pipe/universal vice I bought at big lots of all places for about 50$ only 10 years ago. Its fairly over built and I have put the hurt on it numerous times without issue. interestingly the same vice is sold at sears for 226$ now.

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on barrel fluting?

    as far as I see the solution to what you dislike is an adjustment of the head angle, or introduce a way to angle the piece. with that said, I disagree with the assertion that it looks like crap.

    refinished my Norinko. What do you think

    Gunsmithing Penn Foster gunsmithing school ??

    it may give you some decent information, but what it lacks is the hands on with any real machining. although with that you could take some more local courses for lathe/mill work to supplement. I am in the same boat as you are, lacking any sort of real Gun Smithing schools where I live.

    Bipod question

    if your on a budget Cabelas carries a very nice stout bipod intended for AR's "Caldwell® AR Prone Bipod" (it is not the harris clone) while I never owned an Atlas I would say it will get the job done just as well.

    Hunting comps?

    IMO there is no such thing as no time for hearing protection. there are plenty of passive hearing protection options on the market, some as cheap as 20 bucks. I use Combat Arms Earplugs, same plugs they issue our troops in combat, you can still hear a pin drop and they keep noises such as...
