    Let’s see those custom cerekote/paint jobs!

    Oops, pistol fell out of my rifles builds. PS - the Johnny Glock VEX trigger went right in with no adjustment. I gotta a little JG trick with the connector that improves reset feel. Loving it.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

    100% in house build. Not difficult but trigger tricks help the feel and Cerakote is not for everyone. Serialized P80, ZEV components with Johnny Glock Vex trigger (awesome) with slight modifications. Custom Cerakote. Inside completed pic kinda sucks b/c of the lighting

    To paint, or not to paint.

    I’ve oven cured all types of stocks including McMillan. You just have to reduce the temp and let it bake longer. Cerakote instructions even state this for various materials.

    30 sherman rechamber options

    Oh, I was pretty sure all of them went out to be recut, but I didn’t specifically ask about the 30 Sherman.

    30 sherman rechamber options

    Just curious if OP’s chamber was cut with the gen 1 reamer? I called a month or so ago and all his reamers were being reground to new specs. It was to address case sticking and brass life. I suspect since reamers are being reground, this doesn’t help the OP as his chamber is likely larger...

    7-6.5 PRC

    N560 or N565 depending on what pressure signs vs. case capacity you observed with N165. Superperformance maybe an option. H1000 could work or could be a little slow or over on case capacity. Burn rate chart: https://pdf4pro.com/view/burning-rate-chart-lhs-germany-5ee100.html

    Manners LRH Discussion

    FYI - black and blue is actually black, PURPLE, and blue. Should have looked much closer at the other pics online. Also, “high gloss” is really glossy in person. I have sprayed matte clear Cerakote over many Manners carbon fiber sticks but wow, the gloss on this thing looks wet.

    Which 7mm for medium action?

    I’m building a “28 TAC” (7-6.5PRC) as an alternative to the 7 SAUM and Sherman cartridges because of brass and propriety. 28 TAC is basically a 0.185” freebore 7-6.5PRC with no-turn neck which puts a Berger 180 Hybrid at ~3.115” OAL. (I would have to check my prints and exact measurements)...

    Gunsmithing Curtis Valor question. Need a little help before buying

    The full length tenon is technically 0.002”-0.004” shorter to allow for the additional inward travel under full torque (if I recall correctly). Prints are available on the Curtis site when I checked months ago. You can run both barrels in a QC, however the locking Allen’s will need to be...

    First bedding job

    Cerakote C-Series, Duracoat or the Duracoat self spray is what I would recommend. The self spray Duracoat should be as easy as Krylon and be more resilient to solvents and chemicals.

    Cerakote battle worn and camo

    Shoot me a PM. I can give you my number and tell you what I do. Too much to write out and you may have other questions. I’ve used a lot of stencils with Cerakote. I’ve done battle worn a several times as well. A few examples:

    7-6.5 PRC

    I have several but was planning to try N555 first. F-Class John did some testing on 7-6.5 PRC (7-6.5PRC-3DMP) and was around 2900 fps with 180 Hybrid. The F-class version has more freebore than I wanted so I will give up some case capacity. My dummy rounds are ~3.100”

    7-6.5 PRC

    I decided to go with a 7-6.5 PRC variant in place of a 7 SAUM or 7 Sherman Max. The intent was to run a magnum 7mm on a medium action. Since I’m not too concern with maximum velocity. Load data and testing I’ve seen shows a velocity right around or slightly above 2900 fps pushing the Berger...
