    Giraud annealing machine observations

    completely agree with this. I just installed the potentiometer described earlier in this thread and it works a charm. Much better than the coarse control that comes with the annealer. It takes all of 10 minutes to install. The only "bad" thing about the swap is that the new potentiometer is...

    Gunsmithing Help un-dick my chambering method

    If I were you, I would also pre-bore before running the finish reamer in.

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Who cares about scoring well? I want to win, regardless of the score. I've won matches with my custom Open rifle after dropping 40 points over a two day match. I've also lost matches by 1X, after tie-ing on a single dropped point. Running a custom Open rifle does not automatically translate...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Applicator - Portland, Oregon area

    I used NW Ceramic Coatings in Redmond, OR a little while ago and they did an outstanding job. I shipped my stuff to them from WA and they turned it around in less than a week. Cerakote Gun finishes | Gun coating | Custom gun coating | North West Ceramic Coatings

    Gunsmithing Wednesday's Crucifiction. . .

    Re: Wednesday's Crucifiction. . . I'll have to double check the bedding in the stock when I get home. It'll probably need to be fixed a bit along that side.

    Gunsmithing Wednesday's Crucifiction. . .

    Re: Wednesday's Crucifiction. . . Knew you could fix it Chad. That's why it's worth the trouble of shipping stuff out to you. I can't believe how torqued that was- and that I didn't notice it! The crack I can understand being covered in gunkote, but that magazine well is way out.

    Alternative Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution?

    Re: Alternative Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution? Buy a big jug of Citranox from Amazon and mix in a ratio of 75:1 or so (I actually do 1 tablespoon per 4 cups of water; easier to remember). It'll last a long, long time and does a fantastic job. I first discovered it in this article...

    F T/R Competition Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved!

    Re: Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved! Personally, I'd be fine with suppressors. I'll shoot next to a tactical rifle with a suppressor all day long. Muzzle brakes, not so much- there's some I wouldn't mind shooting next to and some I would. For example, 360º brakes could be...

    Gunsmithing There's precision... and then there's *precision*

    This is a two part post- one part I'm a lazy bastard who did a half-assed job in the first place and one part Chad Dixon's tolerances are unreal. I wasn't sure which forum this really belonged in since it's not exactly a gunsmithing question, but since it relates to precision 'smithing, I...

    Gunsmithing 300 Norma Magnum Ackley Improved

    Re: 300 Norma Magnum Ackley Improved Chad, it looks like you do cleanup on the action (above the show line) AFTER the bedding is set. I'm assuming that maybe you coat the entire action with release agent and not just the parts below the show line? Can you do some detail on cleaning up the...

    F T/R Competition TRG-22 in .260 for F-open?

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 for F-open? I don't think it has anything to do with the round per-se. I shoot a 6 Dasher at 600 and a .260AI at 1000. I know a F-T/R shooter who shoots a .223 and regularly shoots with (and has beaten) the Open guys. I just don't see a TRG being competitive with a...

    F T/R Competition TRG-22 in .260 for F-open?

    Re: TRG-22 in .260 for F-open? I've seen a TRG-22 in .308Win shoot F/TR and be competitive with regards to T/R scores. Around here, I think there's a fairly short list of T/R competitors who can shoot (and win) with the Open shooters, but I've seen it done so it's not incomprehensible. I'd...
