    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite 1500 Range Finder

    Re: Bushnell Elite 1500 Range Finder +1 on the Bushnell 12x50 Fusion 1600 ARC! I used it extensively this past weekend. I ranged 1700+ on a couple of trees, 1200+ on some cows (I couldn't find any farther than that so I might go more), and 1000 to my target (held it steady so that I could...

    Gunsmithing Sandblast prep...

    Re: Sandblast prep... It all depends on your process and your equipment. If you equipment can pull out the dust (broken down media) you just have to add fresh media to it. Now for the more important question, embedding impurities. It helps if you are blading the same kinds of materials...

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) What a cool thread! Just an idea for those of you using fans. It may not be that big of a deal but when I was heat treading Aluminum in the Aerospace industry and we could not have hot/cold spots with using fans, we would put in a baffle around the...

    Gunsmithing Getting things finalized... Texturing & now PAINT!

    Re: Getting things finalized... Texturing Did you follow the other thread exactly? What I'm really after is what material did you use? I want to do mine, but I want it to be a rougher/thicker texture if that makes sense. Like how Mike R does his rifles. I'm thinking about using Acraglas...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 replacement stock recomendations

    Re: Remington 700 replacement stock recomendations I agree with Brandon. For the money I like the Bell Carson Medalist adjustable. It also has the aluminum block in it. I bedded mine (stock .308 700PSS) and it improved it to .5" MOA (from about .75-.625" or my shooting got better but I...

    Gunsmithing Does the inside of this barrel look right to you?

    Re: Does the inside of this barrel look right to you? Yep, my .308 does the exact same thing with 3/8" moa. I wouldn't worry about it. Now I had a .300 win mag 700P that the bore looked porous, it did not shoot worth a darn (I'm talking really bad 6" MOA at 100) and would not clean up at...

    Gunsmithing Does the inside of this barrel look right to you?

    Re: Does the inside of this barrel look right to you? I like to prep my clean barrels with KG moly. Good stuff, but still get this kind of copper down the tube and never see any problems with accuracy. I mostly keep mine dirty and its fine. One thing that I can't see to clearly is the very...

    Re: Do Smiths Ever Sell Lathes on the Hide? Dennis, I totally didn't mean to make you sound like a fool at all, not my intention and I don't think that represents you at all, sorry if my tone came off that way, I was just defending myself from your response, and wanted to make sure you know...

    Re: Do Smiths Ever Sell Lathes on the Hide? Thanks for your feedback. I would respectfully disagree with you on a few points. Not only do I have machinist experience (10 yrs in hydrogen fuel cells, aerospace fluidic connectors, and large oil/gas products), but I'm a degreed manufacturing...

    Gunsmithing Do Smiths Ever Sell Lathes on the Hide?

    I'm wanting to start building some rifles, I've got machining experience and I know that a good lathe is worth the money, I just want to find a good deal. Do smiths ever sell lathes here? Where is a good place to look online (I've been on CL & ebay for months and nothing but junk, so far)...

    Hunting & Fishing Light arrow weight results.

    Re: Light arrow weight results. This is great information! Thanks for posting. I've got a Destroyer 350 and lighter hasn't been my previous school of thought. I've got to give it a try now, and they should shoot flatter out longer....so I should not need as many pins.
