    Gunsmithing Input on Tornado Technologies?

    Re: Input on Tornado Technologies? I had a gun done there. I sent it in when there was a 45 day wait and when I got it back a week after they got it I was a little stunned. They mistakenly put mine to the front of the list. The work they did was excellent. Just call them be nice in telling...

    Best rimfire barrel maker?

    Re: Best rimfire barrel maker? I have two 77/22s with shilens. They seem to shoot all ammo well. I liked the first one so much I bought a second gun and set it up like the first but with a threaded muzzle. Initially I went with shilen because that is what midway had in stock, the second I...

    Re: Jet Lathe problems (threading) Yes those are the ones I was speaking of. Make sure that you start the threads on the same number each time. It should spin till you engage your threading lever.

    Gunsmithing milling machine

    Rifle Scopes Rings for CZ 453 rimfire

    Re: Rings for CZ 453 rimfire Depending on which model you have, it may have a 11mm or a 3/8 dovetail mount. I have a 452 American and found out it has a 3/8 rail. My shop ordered some CZ rings for me which are/were at the time only available in 11mm. I cut them on an EDM to the 3/8 rail and...

    Gunsmithing Pre-64 Win 70 Sight Leaf Spring

    I just bought a late 30s Winchester 70 30-06 and am in need of a rear sight leaf spring. I have tried a spring off an old 10-22 but it is a little too straight or stiff. I have looked at Numrich, Midway and Brownells. Brownells is the only site that I found the leafs for sale but as expected...

I bought the 452 at a local gun shop and bought 11mm Leupold rings to find they didn't fit so I brought them back and the...
