    Gunsmithing Barrel nut setup on FN/Win Mod 70 ????

    You are right, after further investigation it would have to be timed first which basically defeats the purpose i guess.

    Its probably because it is short barrel ones, decent price for it but you can find better. These are absolutely badass rifles, for sure. They shoot extremely well but the brakes are not the best, you can put a better brake on and cut recoil considerably.

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

    I would love to see the video of that barrel being cut like that! That would be some crazy cuts and setups, even CNC would be difficult i bet.

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

    Are you saying they machine the locking lugs into the barrel blank itself? Like just so I am sure what your saying, you machine the barrel itself to take the place of the extension? I will call bullshit on this one, im not saying there has never been an idiot to try this but im not even sure...

    Gunsmithing Barrel nut setup on FN/Win Mod 70 ????

    Not sure what the originals were but the Fn SPR threads are 1.000 X 16 as best as I can tell. I am wanting to try something so I was wondering if the barrel nut deal would work. I have to remove barrel again but i don't remember seeing a cut out for the extractor. seems like the breechface was...

    Gunsmithing Barrel nut setup on FN/Win Mod 70 ????

    Has anyone tried a barrel nut set-up on an FN/ Mod 70 ? Any reason why it wouldn't work? I know alot have tried this with Remmy's with great success so I was curious if it had been tried with FN/Mod 70.

    Gunsmithing 6.5WSM

    How does this 6.5 WSM compare to the 6.5 SAUM? I see guys saying barrel life is short but i see guys claming 3300+ shots with the SAUM......any comparison?

    Gunsmithing Setting up AR barrel in lathe......

    I made a set of barrel extensions I put on short barrels to be able to always reach the back spider of the headstock. I do this for all short barrels and have these already made for rem and savage with female threads, ar10 and ar15 is a tight fit over barrel extension with 3 brass set screws to...

    Gunsmithing Pistol frame and slide hardness

    I thought that was what you were saying just wanted to make sure. The frame should be harder than the slide, as the slide wears over time it can be tightened but if it is fit correctly they should never really make hard contact enough to wear.

    Gunsmithing Pistol frame and slide hardness

    If you are speaking of a 1911/2011 the slide and frame should not be riding on each other at any time, they should ride on the layer of oil that is in the clearances that are built in when these 2 parts are properly fit up. Also for what it is worth the Caspian slides are best your going to...

    Gunsmithing A question on supply and demand

    The shooting industry as a whole has always been like this it seems. Even with the advent of CNC machining centers and the incredible advancements to the manufacturing industry it seems the industry is still stuck in the past as far as overall production. The excuses are always the same also...

    Gunsmithing Best Video on Barreling & Chambering on the web!

    Do you really think you can honestly get it to "0" ? I don't know what all this guy did behind the scenes but my only question is does it shoot? I dont care if he reamed it with a black and decker drill if it shoots as good as I want it too then its good....lol.
