    Gunsmithing Bore Rust/Pitting Question

    I recently picked up an early Model 700 BDL in 7 MM Rem. Mag, sort of an impulse buy. Cosmetically it's a little rough but the action is solid. When I looked down the bore while at the gun shop, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. When I got it home and ran a dry patch down it, I...

    FN SPR

    Re: FN SPR I would prefer mine be a little lighter too, but that's my only "complaint". There was a thread on SH awhile back that spoke about some barrel issues early on in FN SPR production, but I can't seem to find it now. I think it has been long since resolved and isolated to only a few...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What I carry and how I carry it. How do you carry?

    Re: What I carry and how I carry it. How do you carry? I've worn one of these regularly for the last four years with a G26. http://www.activeprogear.com/234.html Here are some things I've learned: 1.) Wear it with an undershirt to prevent it from absorbing your perspiration, chafing your...

    TC Encore Rifle to Pistol Question

    Re: TC Encore Rifle to Pistol Question I went through this exercise about seven years ago. I bought an Encore muzzle loader with big plans which included handgun configurations. The versatility/interchangeability is a huge selling point for T/C. Then I stumbled across a similar discussion...

    Does anyone know the history of the Remington 788?

    Re: Does anyone know the history of the Remington 788? I don't know if it would be considered a "Vintage Sniper Rifle", but they have a following: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2888423#Post2888423 Couple of additional notes: - It was criticized by...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns "Everyday/Everywhere" CCW question

    Re: "Everyday/Everywhere" CCW question Anything but a finger inside the trigger guard seems like a bad idea to me ever since I read an account of an AD inside a police station. As the author (a plain clothes officer at the time) described, he had been on a call that required him to pull his...

    Remington 788's

    Re: Remington 788's That's a little surprising. Do you know if it's a 2-position safety selector or the 3-position safety selector? I think Remington changed them sometime in '74 or '76 or there about. It seems like I remember reading something where Remington actually offered to update...

    Remington 788's

    Re: Remington 788's I would part with with most of the ballast currently occupying my safe before I would let this one go. Chambered in 22-250 Remington, it has dealt bad medicine with gnat's ass precision for over 40 years. It's just that easy to shoot well. - Fret

    Maggie’s This is how not to operate a lathe!

    Re: This is how not to operate a lathe! My personal lathe favorite was watching a guy try to clear the bird's nest that was forming around his improperly ground cutting tool... by hand... while it was running. He would reach in to grab it and try to break it off, and get cut. He would pull...

    Is this .50 BMG supposed to be bolt action?

    Re: Is this .50 BMG supposed to be bolt action? It's a traditional bolt throw (up and back/forward and down) just on the left side of the receiver. It was intended to improve the ergonomics; allowing the shooter to keep his head on the stock, the stock in his shoulder, and his hand on the...

    Is this .50 BMG supposed to be bolt action?

    Re: Is this .50 BMG supposed to be bolt action? I think the video predates the Bushmaster buy out, so it's most likely an early "Cobb". BM changed the stock from the A2 to the Magpul when they started marketing them under their name. - Fret
