    Gunsmithing Reamer Print for 7mm/270 WSM

    Hi guys. Don't suppose anyone has a reamer print for a 7mm/270 WSM, do you? I believe there are subtle differences between 7mm/270 WSM, 7mm/300 WSM & 7mm WSM, but I'm struggling to find out exactly what they are. Thanks for looking!

    Gunsmithing PTG change order fee?

    Well, whilst we're on the subject.... I ordered a .243 Win finishing reamer. It took 4 months to arrive and in the process became a "match" finishing reamer which means it has a tight neck. That's not what I ordered and is not what I wanted. They also sent me (and charged for) 2x .284 bushing...

    Gunsmithing Minimizing mess whilst flushing.....

    Hi all. I've very nearly finished my high-pressure flushing system and hope to try it out in the next week or so. I'm just wondering if anyone has any good ideas or advice for keeping the mess down? I'm using a micrometer stop and am thinking that once the oil comes down the barrel and along...

    Gunsmithing HELP! Rotary union to barrel coupling for high-pressure flushing system.

    Thanks for all the replies, guys! I think what I'm going to do for the short term is tap the end of the barrels and attach the hose directly to the barrel via a male/male hydraulic fitting. Once I've got everything working and I get a bit more time I'll look at making up something that's a bit...

    Gunsmithing HELP! Rotary union to barrel coupling for high-pressure flushing system.

    Would this also do the job of the rotary union? The pump should be capable of 10 litres/minute.

    Gunsmithing HELP! Rotary union to barrel coupling for high-pressure flushing system.

    I already have a Deublin rotary union. My problem is how to conveniently and safely attach the pipe from the rotary union to the end of the barrel.

    Gunsmithing HELP! Rotary union to barrel coupling for high-pressure flushing system.

    Hello. This is my first real post on here. I've nearly finished putting together a high-pressure flushing system for chambering on my lathe. One thing I'm yet to work out is how I'm going to couple the tube from the end of my rotary union to the end of a barrel. I considered the GreTan...

    'Hide newbee from across the pond

    Hi all. I've been doing a lot of reading of your informative forum for a while now and thought it about time I joined up! As per title, I come from across the pond, Norfolk - England, to be precise. I do quite a bit of shooting myself, mostly Fox, Rabbits and a few Deer. I guess the...
