    Gunsmithing FFL/Liability insurance. how much should one have??

    I would contact the NRA Business Alliance and request a quote NRA Business Alliance - Benefits depending on what you are looking for the liability part will be around $800. If you want liability plus building coverage and tooling coverage it could be more than $2000. Another place to request a...

    Gunsmithing Sharing a couple of Builds

    Since you do not know me from Adam I will share some of my background before I get into how I apply the coating. In 2006 I started applying Duracoat on mine and my friend’s firearms. I started using Cerakote in 2007 and by 2009 the Hobby became a part time business. People ask me why I wanted to...

    Gunsmithing Sharing a couple of Builds

    I am not following your question about removing metal? When you blast and Cerakote you are adding surface area to the work piece so when you polish the work piece to remove the blasting and Cerakote to get back down to the original surface you are not really removing any metal. I measured the...

    Gunsmithing Sharing a couple of Builds

    Thank you. The stock was painted with Valspar stone paint and clear coat they both come in a spray can. I have been using this stuff for 10 + years and it is very tough, has lots of grip, and is very easy to touch up.

    Gunsmithing Sharing a couple of Builds

    This Build was for my dad and started out as an old 270 that I made into a 6.5-284. I bedded it in a Bell & Carlson stock along with polishing the bolt and Cerakoting all the metal. The Receiver was trued and I used a Brux Barrel along with a Sunny Hill recoil lug. I also re Cerakoted...

    Gunsmithing Sharing a couple of Builds

    Here are some builds I have done over the last couple of months I thought I would share. The first one I call the before and after project. This rifle was an old 30/06 that I turned into a 6.5-284 for myself. Notice the length of pull they added to the stock I could barely even get any sight...

    Gunsmithing Lapping Compound

    Hello Gentleman, I am wondering what you are using for lapping compound for lapping lugs? The stuff I am using now seems ok but I am wondering if there is something better?

    Gunsmithing Lathe Chatter; using PTG action jig for tenon/chambering.

    I have that same fixture and I thread between 70 and 115 rpm and have not had an issue since my new lathe. Did you dial the fixture in when you set it up in the chuck? You may want to give Bob a call he might have some idea's for you to try. 1-269-521-3671

    Gunsmithing Is this bolt toast?

    I called Remington and they will put a new bolt in, headspace the rifle and return ship it for $200. I think that is the route he is going to go. Thanks for the responses.

    Gunsmithing Is this bolt toast?

    So a friend of mine wanted me to look at his Factory Remington 17 Rem that he said was piercing primers and then stopped firing all together. He bought the rifle used at a gun shop a couple of years back and the previous owner had a Sako extractor installed on it. I looked at the boltface and...

    now I'm getting frustrated

    Get yourself a coated cleaning rod, bore guide, jag, copper brush along with some Shooters Choice Copper Remover or Montana Black Extreme. With a new barrel I would bet you have copper build up in the throat and you will find this out after you run the brush through the barrel and some patches...

    Has anyone here used Weatherby’s large magazine box for their 30-378 Mark V in a Remington 700 BDL before? If so what were the results and what is the Max OAL that the cartridge can be and still fit in the box? I am not too impressed with the results of large center feed box I have so I am...
