    Gunsmithing Remington 700 magazine spacer

    Re: Remington 700 magazine spacer You will need a new follower if you cut the spacer out of the 223 box or use a 308 box. The 223 box is a 308 box with a spacer added. The 223 follower is shorter than the 308 follower to work in the shorter box. It could have different contour to hold...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 magazine spacer

    Re: Remington 700 magazine spacer The spacer is spot welded in and can be removed with a dremmel grinder. The neatest way to do this is buy a 308 magazine box and replace your 223 magazine box. Replacing the 223 box is cheap, works good, looks good and you have the option of going back to...

    Gunsmithing Gun Grease for bolt- recommendations?

    Re: Gun Grease for bolt- recommendations? I used Tetra grease until the bolt lug galled on a Nesika stainless action. I changed to a high pressure Moly grease from Walmart and have not had another problem. The synthetic lubricants have a wider working temperature range, which is good if...

    Gunsmithing Jewell trigger

    Re: Jewell trigger Look at the diameter of the wire used to make the springs. Spring C has smaller diameter wire, spring B next, and spring A has the heaviest. If your eyes are not calibrated, compress the springs between your fingers, you can feel the difference. Good shooting, Ron

    Gunsmithing Lathe chuck backing plate maching trouble

    Re: Lathe chuck backing plate maching trouble Sounds like it is time for the tool post grinder! If a file glides across it, tool post grinder is the way to go. If a file digs in, you have a set up problem with your tooling; you should be able to cut it with HS or carbide. If you can't over...

    Split necks and "sooty" brass?

    Re: Split necks and "sooty" brass? The two parallel marks look like the case dragging across the sharp edges of the barrel extension lugs during ejection of the fired case. Chamber a empty resized case and pull the bolt back by hand while watching it; you will see it happen. The dents...

    Split necks and "sooty" brass?

    Re: Split necks and "sooty" brass? If you have any more unfired, look them over carefully with a magnifying glass for very fine cracks. I would guess that they were cracked before you fired them. The soot from the powder burn was turned loose in the chamber before the brass expanded to...

    Case necks scratched on ar 15 fired brass

    Re: Case necks scratched on ar 15 fired brass If it is what I think it is, the lugs on the barrel extension are scratching the case when it is extracted. You can tell by chambering a case and extracting by hand while you watch it. I don't think it is a problem, but you can stop it by...

    300 WSM Brass Failure **Pics Added**

    Re: 300 WSM Brass Failure **Pics Added** I had some brass that developed cracks like that on firing. I checked the rest of the loaded rounds and found that a good number of them had very fine cracks in the neck area that I missed when loading. It was old brass that had never been fired...

    tripod for a CED M2

    Re: tripod for a CED M2 Buy the heaviest and cheapest camera tripod you can find. The old ones are the best. The range of adjustments makes it easier to get the screens lined up correctly and the weight holds it steady in the wind. Good shooting Ron

    Brass Problem

    Re: Brass Problem Consistency is necessary; you need to work towards that. Sort your brass by Mfg. and date code. Full length resize not neck size. Lube well when resizing; I like Imperial/Redding Die Wax. Make sure your brass is clean before resizing. You can measure the head space with...
