    Texas Brigade Armory- still open?

    I just found the link on Gun Brokers, that's a heck of deal. I used to live close to Mike Lau when his shop/garage was in the Dallas area. He was my go to gunsmith when I needed work done on one of my rifles. Great guy and his work is first class. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1042370450

    Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    After many email requests I thought I'd repost the research I did on barrel break-in procedures. In addition I also added a short overview on Internal Ballistics 101 to help tie everything together. This has been posted on many shooting boards over...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Just an FYI, not all custom barrels are hand-lapped. The barrel of choice for Chad Dixon at LongRifles Inc are KP Barrels. KP barrels have ruled the .50 cal competitions for decades. Then they branched out into all the other calibers. They don't hand-lap their barrels as they don't see a...

    Gunsmithing Objective research on Barrel Break-in procedures

    Not all cleaning rods are the same. The coated ones from Dewey and Tipton are safe on a bore. The stainless steel ones and the ones you screw together in sections along with the type of tips can do damage. I stay away from anything stainless steel (rods & tips) going down my bore. I use...

    Gunsmithing Touching up Cerecote Dark Earth

    The barrel diameter where the suppressor attaches is .730 then it turned down to .680 until it hits the gas port area of the barrel which is ,750. He turned a bushing/shim and split in half but it just didn't keep the front sight from turning when tightened down. We'll get this figured out. My...

    Gunsmithing Touching up Cerecote Dark Earth

    Thank you for your offer. Actually my smith is overseas on business. When he gets back he's got another idea to try and if that doesn't work he'll trim the aluminum tape, make sure nothing has squeezed out and repaint the whole barrel. I'm not blaming him in the least as he's tried a bunch of...

    Gunsmithing Touching up Cerecote Dark Earth

    It's not that it's bad it's more of a modification we made to the new MK12 Mod 0 and wanted it to match. No one makes a 300 Blk Out barrel in a .750 diameter behind the the threads for the suppressor. The front sight for the MK12 Mod 0 is .750 my particular barrel is .680 which has a taper...

    MK 12 Mod 0 300 Blackout is complete

    Finally got the 300 Blk Out Mk 12 Mod 0 completed. Took it out to the range this morning for the testing. Supersonic loads loads shoot .75" moa at 100 yards. The 208 gr Hornady AMAX sub sonic loads shoot a hair under 1 moa which blew my mind. Wow is it accurate with both super and sub sonic...

    Gunsmithing Touching up Cerecote Dark Earth

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to touch up Cerecote Dark Earth without sending the barrel to my smith to be completely redone?

    Gunsmithing question on recoil lug...

    I agree with everyone that says take it out and shoot and see how it shoots. Having said that, recoil lugs come in lots of different sizes and shapes. The recoil lug on your rifle now might sit a tad deeper into the stock pressing into the bottom of the bedding causing the action to flex when...

    Gunsmithing Latest: LHTR in 300RSAUM

    As always nice work, however I have a question, in your brief discription it reads "Little machine work, little beddin, little paint" I don't see any paint or is that part II?
