    Raising comb height- product suggestions?

    Hey all. This is for a shotgun build, but the same principles apply. I'll be needing to raise the comb height by about 1.5", and I'm perfectly content with something added aftermarket (i.e., no desire to go permanently modifying it). Stock packs like the Blackhawk are fine, but obviously sit too...

    Gunsmithing Cleaning lug recesses + Otis kit

    Re: Cleaning lug recesses + Otis kit Perfect, love the near real time feedback Yeah, given I have the "Elite" kit or whatever, I have all three sized slotted tips, the 223 one, the "larger" caliber one, and then the larger shotgun one. If you're saying it fits through that, bam, I think I...

    Grease Bolt ?

    Re: Grease Bolt ? B VEAL, thanks, but I meant a diagram covering the important surfaces/parts of the bolt. That's just the mfr. diagram that comes with the rifle. If anyone wants to take a minute and help us newbs out, a photo or two of your bolt labeled with every surface/part relevant to...

    Gunsmithing Cleaning lug recesses + Otis kit

    Re: Cleaning lug recesses + Otis kit Hmm, forgive me if this sounds naive here, but in looking back over my kit, I'm wondering- wouldn't I be able to do the exact same thing by just buying the cotton rolls, threading them through one of my slotted tips, screwing that into one of the...

    Gunsmithing Cleaning lug recesses + Otis kit

    Hey all. I've been reading up on proper maintenance of lug recess areas. I already have a pretty sizable Otis kit: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=666881 Which I use on all my guns. I also have a full size Dewey rod for backup. Anyway, I noticed there are all sorts of...

    Advanced Marksmanship Using a rear bag....cheating?

    Re: Using a rear bag....cheating? Yeah, I think the first question to ask yourself is, "cheating for what?" I had this same question and debate with some other shooters at about my skill level awhile back. I pretty much just concluded that it depends on what I'm trying to hone. Ask...

    Gunsmithing Basic question on truing...

    Re: Basic question on truing... The question was about texturizing, to which several people chimed in and agreed. It's also something triggers do come with, including Anschutz. Gee, I must have been really crazy. You got some serious self confidence issues if you have to trawl my posts...

    Gunsmithing Basic question on truing...

    Re: Basic question on truing... Thanks for the responses all. Makes sense, though Clark and 9H, I think you took it further than my original question. Clark, I actually had no interest in whether or not I should do this, I was merely asking a machining question out of curiosity to learn...

    Re: Basic question on truing... So why the term "blueprinting"?

    Gunsmithing Basic question on truing...

    Re: Basic question on truing... No 9H, I have no action in mind. I'm trying to learn how these things work, and wanted to understand how a gunsmith goes about matching a length of metal to a spec if the length at hand is shorter. That's it.

    Gunsmithing Basic question on truing...

    Re: Basic question on truing... Sorry, I should have defined it better- I basically meant any place you have to add material. In my example, I was imagining a length dimension that was too small, and hence needed material added. Yeah, good to hear it's not straightforward, only because I...

    Gunsmithing Basic question on truing...

    Hey all, real simple question here on truing. I understand that it's basically the process of examining the dimensions of an action and its parts, and ensuring that they match, as closely as possible, the "true" dimensions of the original blueprints or schematics. So if a dimension is larger...

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint That's not me dude. That's a shot from the Magpul carbine training thread I pulled. But I'm sure he'd like to hear your thoughts on his man bling all the same

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint LL, fair enough, Tony's shots prove the point just the same, if not better. I was looking for a classic shot where the hand has to be coming off the grip (thereby losing a bit of the pivoting control) and then bending back in at an otherwise unnatural angle...

    Advanced Marksmanship tip of finger vs. 2nd joint

    Re: tip of finger vs. 2nd joint Lowlight, you mentioned my hand and how it works- this is a good point and brings me to another question. One of the reasons I tend toward certain grips that vary from the almost gentle, hands off approach I see here is because of the grips' natural shape...
