    Gunsmithing what lathe to start with

    Re: what lathe to start with To keep it under a grand your looking at a 9 or 10" swing x 20-36" CTC. Look on craiglist or kijiji, i've seen many a lathe for hundreds off simply because they wanted something bigger 6months after buying.. As always, read reviews and local dealers if possible.

    Photos Bushnell FFP mildot spotter

    Re: Bushnell FFP mildot spotter Sounds like a great Idea Mark, I personally shoot at 8.5x11sheets of paper and range on the range using that. With Google earth verification later. One must always remember though that google earth is not a "as the crow flys" ranging tool, it sticks to the...

    Rifle Scopes Focal Planes: is the FFP worth it for mil dot?

    Re: Focal Planes: is the FFP worth it for mil dot? Good information, I have noticed this distance but never bothered to look into it. I use 9 to 24 power scopes and shoot for distance on paper, So I've never had the issues discussed.

    Gunsmithing Alternative bolt action designs.

    Re: Alternative bolt action designs. Similar yes. That design sacrifices holding power for smooth and fast operation though. Lugs direct the force axially wereas round bearings are going to induce axial and radial thrust and are going to stretch the ID of the chamber over-time and if the...

    Gunsmithing Alternative bolt action designs.

    Gunsmithing 3,4,5,6,8 groove barrels

    Re: 3,4,5,6,8 groove barrels From a physics standpoint and ignoring what barrels are actually made with.. Remembering that a bullet is spinning at like 200,000+rpm (depending on the twist rate) It takes more grip on a heavier bullet to get it to spin..2 grooves would just peel a layer off...
