Re: Barrel Torque? If you read Vaughn's book "Rifle Accuracy Facts" he talks about axial preload and barrel-receiver threaded joint motion. In his experiments he found that loctite usually jarred loose after a few shots. I don't know if he specified which loctite formula he was using though...

Re: Big News on the Surgeon Rifle front..... It's a shame to see the RSR go. Those were a great value and I enjoyed building with them.

Re: Pics of new home shop. That looks awesome, espeically good lighting for a garage.

Re: Tikka T3 Scout I like the T3 Scout a lot. I've sold several of them and I think they are a good value for the money. I know that Manners inlets for them and I think that McMillan will as well. The factory trigger is marginal (within acceptable parameters) and the stock is functional but...

Re: Duracoat Tikka ONE Question Call Duracoat and ask. They have a pretty good tech line.

Re: Thoughts on hand lapping factory barrels? Chicken soup at a car wreck. It probably isn't going to help.You will have the opportunity to mess it up though. Have you bore scoped it and seen any problem areas? You can also have the barrel "slugged" to see if there are problem areas. But...

Re: Cerakote vs DuraCoat If you are looking for a substitute for Duracoat look at Nason Fullthane P. You'll find similarities in the ingredients. I've heard htat Duracoat is also very similar to Sherwin Williams industrial paints but I've not looked into it myself. I guess any flat or super...

Re: Question on the Red Jacket suppressed shotgun?? rant Not to mention they suggested that no one else had ever supressed a shotgun. Tac Ops patented a shotgun supressor a long time ago. That show is about firearms production just as much as American Chopper is about building motorcycles...

Re: reamer edge build up Are you saying the reamer developed a bur?

Re: Any Experience with the Air Dry Cerakote I used a bottle of 4 ounce air dry Cerakote to try it. It worked great and Carekote goes on so thin that a bottle lasts forever. The thing to look out for with the airdry is it'll clog up an airbrush pretty quick. Good stuff though, I'd recommend...

Re: Synthetic stock vs. laminated stock for accuracy The weather problem with wood is that solid wood swells and shrinks or moves as the temperature and ambient humidity change. Laminate stocks are much less prone or less sensitive to weather changes and synthetic/figerglass stocks are all...

Re: My new .308 " American Precision Arms" Very nice Rifle
