Good afternoon, all, I've inletted my Remage barreled action to my Bell & Carlson stock and it was a pretty standard inletting on top; no surprises. However, the PTG bottom metal is proud of the stock as shown on the attached picture. I can mill the areas of the front and rear pillar area...

Re: what chronograph to buy? Good afternoon, I have a Shooting Chrony Beta that has been outstanding. When I first bought it in '95 it didn't work worth a darn. But, I called Chrony and they said the lenses and software had been upgraded since my s/n so <span style="text-decoration...

Re: Blasting Media Black Diamond is too aggressive. Glass beads if it's just paint to remove would suffice, but 120 Al oxide if there's rust, too, or a thermoset finish. Some M1 Garand refinishers use glass & Al oxide mixed to prep for re-parkerizing since it isn't too aggressive, but will...

Re: Which torque wrench is better? Borka or FAT I purchased a Borka from Boris through the 'hide and I've been extremely happy with it. Also, as you've seen from his post above, he's very helpful and willing to share his knowledge and expertise to help you with a project. He took a great...

Re: Best Scope Rings I like the ARC (American Rifle Company) rings best. I have Gen II and Gen III's and prefer the Gen III since the scope doesn't have a tendency to roll when the ring is tightened. I understand they have another version now with only one ring screw and one base screw per...

Re: Anyone order a Rifle from EuroOptics I ordered rings from them and had questions along the way to the purchase. They were prompt, courteous, and professional. They really went out of their way to make sure I got what I needed. I look forward to doing business with them again. Warmest...

Re: Where to get Chrony parts I made some from hardwood dowels from Home Depot. They work great. When I loaned my Beta Chrony to a fellow, he shot one of my wooden screen rods...the rod splintered, but there was no damage to the screen or the chronograph mounting point. Seems this was...

Re: Any Recommendations on a chronograph? Hi again, all, I just checked prices, and based upon price and features, if I was to buy now I'd go with the CED M2 also....My Beta and Printer was a bit more than half of what they are now. For what the M2 is, I think it's a better value if it...

Re: Any Recommendations on a chronograph? Good morning, guys, I have a Beta Chrony and Chrony printer that I've used for years. It's been very accurate and reliable since an upgrade many years ago and I use it all the time. When I first bought it in 1996, it wouldn't pick up bullets a...

Re: American Rifle M3 Rings - experience thus far Good morning, guys, Thanks for the input and advice. I can't thank all of you enough for your time, interest and thoughtfulness to help! I ended up getting a precision level and as David S suggested, installed the scope and tightened the...

Re: American Rifle M3 Rings - experience thus far Good afternoon, I purchased a set of the ARC rings due to the design theory (I'm a structures engineer) and the amount of engineering that went into them. However, I'm having a really hard time keeping the scope from rotating. In fact, I...

Good afternoon, all, This post is informational only in the event it helps anyone else. I spoke with HS Precision regarding their recommended torque spec and sequence of tightening with a Savage action and they gave me the following: 65 in-lb - front and rear action screw hand tight -...

Re: I got bored and ended up with this.. Looks great! What brand/type paint did you use?

Re: Blasting media questions Gentlemen, Thanks again for all the great input! It has been very helpful. As I get my blasting cabinet put together, this info will be put to good use! (It was a cabinet from work they replaced and were going to throw out....probably cheaper to buy a new one...
