    Gunsmithing First Cerakote job...COMPLETED!!! (very pic heavy)

    Re: First Cerakote job...COMPLETED!!! (very pic heavy) I've done the camo over other colors w/ a desert tan and black but I did it almost immediately. If you were to wait like to touch up in a couple months I would probably blast again. The coating by then has been able to absorb oils and...

    Re: Cerakote applied over... a lot of pistolsmiths put park over bare metal to have something chemically bonded to the metal when the cerakote rubs off from multiple holster presentations. That said I normally blast everything whether it's parked/anodized/gnome jizzed on etc etc I haven't had...

    Re: WTK if a .30-06 can be barreled to ... I don't have a .30-06 rifle. I'm trying to put this barrel on an AK, I've seen it done so I know it's possible. On further remembrance they used a 5.45 AK74 boltface and opened it up for the 7.62 Thanksall Kael

    Gunsmithing How to remove cerakote from scope

    Re: How to remove cerakote from scope I don't really have a problem with it looking like charcoal so far, I've had good luck spraying it at 26 from my small gun and 36 from my large gun. What are you spraying it at? To clarify, I meant small humps and valleys in the microscopic painting...

    Re: WTK if a .30-06 can be barreled to ... no the 7.62x 25 round is what I'm after. I've seen it done and is very slick and cheap to shoot. Very excellent suppressed as well. I don't have a x25 in front of me but the bolt face difference is marginal and I think can be fixed by tigging and...

    Re: Help me Match my Rifle to the Terrain I'd go khaki base, FDE/medium brown for the effect, sparing on the dark brown. just a touch of very light OD I'd mist the FDE/browns over holding lightly bundled grass on the rifle w/ can far away. I actually use pine needles which you may wanna try...

    Stock bag Recommendations

    Re: Stock bag Recommendations I really have no tactical needs, it's for fun/hunting and just to prove I can build a nice rifle to myself. I like the idea of the adjustable cheekrest and am considering building one of those but concerned with the idea of that working with the stock bag Thanks...

    Gunsmithing WTK if a .30-06 can be barreled to ...

    I bought a stock .30-06 Rem 700 sporter barrel. I am wondering if it's possible to set back and chamber in .308? I am thinking about a couple different directions with the barrel, first thought is a 7.62x25 AK but I'm also thinking about a .308 mauser project or a .308 single shot. So in short...
