    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    Does the extractor flex and stop contacting the case rim when you close the bolt like on the Mausingfield? Is this sort of an Archimedes 2.0, or does the Archimedes retain some features that this doesn't have?

    Gunsmithing New WWW

    Re: New WWW Looks great. Just an idea, but people would probably be interested if you post new projects every so often. It might be a way to keep traffic up. In any case the new sight looks very professional and does a good job of showcasing your work.

    Gunsmithing 1911 Re-Finishing questions

    Re: 1911 Re-Finishing questions "Doing the pistol justice" would be to lightly wipe off surface rust with a rag, or at most a plastic dish scrubber, and then maintain a light coat of oil until you pass it along to its next owner.

    Gunsmithing Painting barreled action?

    Re: Painting barreled action? A garage Krylon job and a properly applied Cerakote are two completely different animals. Cerakote is much more durable, thinner, and does a better job of protecting the metal. Krylon will chip and let moisture through to the metal. You can get rust under the...
