    Gunsmithing Need a competent gunsmith that can finish a rebarrel on a POF 223

    This has to be one of the funniest SH posts ever.... What I would really like to see is a few pics of the set up you use to machine the lugs? on an AR barrel.

    CIP length AICS will .300 Win Mag work?

    Are you talking about locking into the chassis or the cartridge fitting? 300 win mags will lock into a 338 lm chassis.

    Frank, Thanks for the quick reply. I figured it would be alright to flip it.

    Gunsmithing Barrel blank question

    After watching the Bartlein video's Frank posted last week my wondering mind got to wondering the following: I have a Krieger .30 cal 1:8 twist 24" blank I got a while back to build a nice 300 blk. I figured I could make two barrels from this blank. One a 16 inch, the other a 7.5. Yesterday...

    Gunsmithing PTG? Anyone know what's going on there?

    I order from PTG regularly and have zero problem with waiting for one-of-a-kind reamers and tools. I have had a few problems over the years but usually they were just as much my fault as theirs. Like, the last time I moved I didn't remember to tell them my new shipping address...well wouldn't...

    Gunsmithing Remington/HS Precision buttplates????

    KMW rifles makes a nicer set up than the trap shooting thing. His site loads as slow as pond water moves but eventually it will load.

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    They didn't screw up the 6-48 to 8-40 screw upgrade...they've invented a Pressure Release Chamber. Instead of setting the chamber back just reduce the pressure on your loads.

    Gunsmithing Recommended chamber reamer for 300WM & premium factory hunting ammo??

    I bought the same one on DK's advice and have been happy with the results. You can go all the way to 230gn without the over pressure signs you'd get in a standard chamber. I've also used it to repair a number of crappy chambers punched by Remington and Savage.

    Gunsmithing Reamer lead time

    Bashing? Weird. I didn't get the impression you were a woman by reading your previous posts. I am so sorry I hurt your feelings. Please tell your husband or boyfriend I sincerely apologize. for being insensitive. Seriously, I went through your posting history and saw that you were in too much...

    Gunsmithing Reamer lead time

    I'd take a breath and be patient. April 12th was the day you posted wnroscoe's friend Don had just received the action and parts. If you wanted "off the shelf" times (Mc Donalds style) you should have gone to Columbia and simply bought a rifle at Spotted Dog.

    Gunsmithing 300 weatherby trigger options?

    I take the trigger housing apart, put it in the mill, add a trigger adjustment hole then open up the weight adjustment hole so the spring has full range of motion. Then I do the same thing to the over travel screw. Add a Remington 700 trigger return spring, clean up the sear/trigger engagements...

    Gunsmithing Looking for an AK expert...

    I have a Nodak 5.45x39 one of our brighter customers did some no holds barred home gunsmithing on. I don't have the parts he needs or a riveting set up. The gun is very repairable. I'd really love to send it to one of you guys.
