    Maggie’s The Islamic State

    ^Amen Greg. I fear that all cognitive thought has been berated into submission world wide. All of our quorums have been infected and I can no longer trust what I hear. Be it from the pulpit, soap box, or the halls of justice. I am afraid that the time is nigh that we have to stand guard to...

    Gunsmithing Another way to skin the cat?

    Unless you are planning in reaming your raceway over size and either putting a sleeve on the bolt or buying an over size bolt you run the risk of creating an out of round raceway that will be a pain in the ass to take the slop out of. That's the whole purpose of making everything concentric to...

    Gunsmithing Where to find a tap?

    I bought one from MSC a couple months ago, I believe it was Hertel not the best but affordable at about 69 bucks.

    Gunsmithing Why not cut chambers with a single point cutter?

    The tool deflection issue is a consideration but if you pre-drill like most do anyway I can fit a much stouter bar into the bore. We grind our own solid carbide boring bars at work, I think I will have to draw one up and trade a couple cases of beer for one and see how it works out.

    Gunsmithing Why not cut chambers with a single point cutter?

    I am sitting here looking at reamer options for a rifle I am planning when the though hit me "why not single point cut chambers on the CNC lathe instead of buying different reamers for everything I want to do". I know most smiths do not have cnc lathes but is there a reason that this wont work...

    Gunsmithing cold void help needed

    How or why would you have half of a truing job done on an action. I always clean up the threads or most of the time open up and recut the threads of an action. In either case this increases the minor and major diameters of the barrel tenon required so thus if you reuse the old barrel you have...

    Gunsmithing Any drawback using carbide coolant fed bits in dry machining?

    As far as I know in a continuous cutting action like turning the life of the carbide insert will be shortened slightly because of the potential for heat stress. However I have been taught that in interrupted cutting operations like milling the shock of repeated heating and cooling will kill and...

    Gunsmithing 8x32 screw holes opened to 8x40?

    I don't think that what you are tying to do would be worth it. Your major diameter will be the same with just a tiny bit of increase in your minor dia. If you are going to go through this much work why not increase to a #10 screw and clean everything up and have fresh steel to cut new threads...
