    Gunsmithing Can a Remington 788 be converted to m16 or Sako extractor.

    Here's a couple pics of extractor. I also managed to salvage a SS fluted Rem barrel that had a bad chamber by cutting off chamber and making a barrel nut for it. That was my only choice since the shoulder was no longer large enough. Turned the gun into a .222 for shits and grins. Functioned...

    Gunsmithing Can a Remington 788 be converted to m16 or Sako extractor.

    I had a Rem 788 in 223 do the same exact thing a few years ago. Broke a chunk off the same way. I installed a Tubb/Sako style extractor and it worked great. Straight forward milling job. I don't see why you couldn't do it on your 6mm. They're easier to do on 788s without the lugs in the way...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yes the Burris scopes are good. Their SCR retical is great. I think they are the best valve in 34mm tube scopes.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I don't actually make the entire knob I modify and thread the factory knob. Mine are actually threaded and capped with 416SS ends and then machined to final finish. Makes for a sleeker, cleaner looking knob I think. I got tired of all the big gawky gear shifter knob that everybody is selling. I...

    Gunsmithing lathes

    The one cuts better than the other theory is BS. You are opening up a big can of worms with this debate. It's a major Ford versus Chevy thing. If you ask an old die hard American Iron machinist he'll tell you to go three phase and mortgage your house to pay for a US machine and wire your house...

    Can a Savage be made into a competent tactical gun?

    So true about the barrel. At the time it was a Benchmark, 3groove 1:8twist, 28" and 1" at the muzzle. Action was a PTA Dual Port.

    Reloading press induced runout?

    Nobody mentions the shell holders when talking presses. Doesn't anybody ever realize that the case "floats" in the shell holder?? If you guys are chasing "run out" in a single stage press and using any major manufacture's shell holder, you are chasing your own tails. I have Redding, Hornady...

    Gunsmithing Question: Hermes Engraver for barrel markings: which bit

    Mine was originally a "flatbed type". I drilled and tapped the corners for some "legs"(bolts) to raise it up high enough for barrels. Then I just mounted some aluminum angle to the vise plates to hold the barrel in alignment. The legs allow for different material heights. Works really well.

    Gunsmithing Devcon vs acraglass

    Plus 1 for accurglass gel. No runny mess and just as good of results. Also comes with brown and black dye.
