Thanks for the advice, I think I'll try the WD40 route and the Cerakote finish on one of the rifles with less family history and see how it comes out. I'll post some pictures once I get the first rifle completed. Thanks!

My parents house was recently flooded and several guns were damaged in the flood. My father asked me if I could restore the guns and I said yes without really knowing what I was getting into. Most of the damage is water staining on the wood stock and surface rust on and in the barrels. I am...

What are the signs of over gassing?

I've used a variety frog lube, clp,etc.... I found mobile 1 bearing grease works the best. Stays in place and doesn't allow carbon build up on bolt and pin. Ultimately it is what you feel most comfortable using.

Thanks for the offer! I'll have to keep my eye open. Can you shed light on the bull barrel design. Aesthetically I like the barrel, but are there any advantages or disadvantages to the design?

Slick rig, A bolt gun is in the plan as, but the reason I bought the lower is because I live in MD and after October 1 I will not be able to buy another lower. At first I told myself that I would throw the lower in the safe and eventually build it, but as time passes and I have time to think...

I am looking to build an accurate AR. I would like this rifle to be very accurate and be able to shoot out past 500 yards (I have been told this is possible when properly set up). I have been looking at several barrel options, but I cannot find anything that discusses the benefits/drawbacks of...

I spoke with an armorer in Virginia about this and he said that Young's uses a drop of lock tight on the gas key screws and they feel it is sufficient. He also said there was a risk of the chrome finish chipping/flaking off of the bcg if the staking is sloppy.

Hopefully it will go well with the 20" varmint barrel I want to put on this new rifle.

Thanks for the info!

A buddy of mine wasn't sure if the bolt was proprietary to the barrel, that's why I ask. Ideally I'd like a Young's Nation Match bolt, but things are slim pickings right now.

Are the bolts proprietary to their barrels?

Anyone have experience with these bolts carriers? $190 for a phosphate finished bcg, are they worth the money? Thanks

Yeah getting a suppressor in Maryland would be like trying to get water from a rock, it's a long and very painful process, which I heard is at least a year wait. As for the brake, i'm not looking to put myself in the poor house for a muzzle brake. I'll shop something out and have to try out a...

Where did you buy it? A lot of times local shops put their logos on other manufacturer's bolts. Example I have a Young's bolt with a Lanco tactical logo laser engraved on the carrier.
