    Gunsmithing Piloted Finish Reamers: prebore or not?

    If I do anything I will try your method. Although, I'm not comfortable trusting a drill bit to run true enough to follow with a reamer.

    Gunsmithing Piloted Finish Reamers: prebore or not?

    I didn't consider some of those points. Makes sense. I questioned the method from the idea on maintaining concentricity. Assuming bore is perfect, prebore is perfect the reamer has to follow the prebore perfect for everything to find its place. If there's only .0005 off there in the wrong spot...

    Gunsmithing Piloted Finish Reamers: prebore or not?

    I am fine tuning my chambering process. I have been learning of some different methods I want to try. One method involves drilling then boring the chamber to within .020-.040" of finish diameter and short of length. The theory being it takes less load and wear to run the finish reamer. The...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith opinion on Titanium vs Steel action

    I have never owned a TI action. I have had a few shooting associates that have, and theY seemed fine with standard cartridges. One had some problems with galling in the lugs, but think that got worked out. I was SERIOUSLY considering a TI for my pending 6.5 PRC. The more I talked with other...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Install Anti Seize

    I think I'm going to pick some of this stuff up. Looks like the nickel has some functions that I may have taken for granted.

    Gunsmithing bedding front of recoil lug

    Pretty much my method. I put a layer of tape on the front of the lug, bottom and sides. I usually extend my bedding to about 1" forward of the lug. My opinion is this makes for a more resilient fit. The tape alows some clearance for taking it apart. But keeps it tight enough to not move. If...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Install Anti Seize

    Probably should stop shooting copper bullets through your stainless barrel then too....... I have used copper based and graphite based without any problems. I would bet most grease formulations would prevent galling as well. Keep the amount reasonable, clean off the excess and by the time you...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith opinion on Titanium vs Steel action

    I ventured down this path a few months ago. For every person who hails TI as the end all there are 5 with stories of complications. I almost pulled the trigger on one but decided on a Bighorn Arms. Yep going to be heavier, but it will outlast my grandkids if cared for. It is of my opinion that...

    Gunsmithing Polishing a new chamber?

    Thanks for the information. I respect your position on this and can say I share many of your views. I have always been of the opinion if everything is to proper dimension surface finish (within reason) bears no role in function. Thanks

    Gunsmithing Polishing a new chamber?

    Thanks for your insight. My chambers have always had a good finish with no imperfections right off the reamer. I like the idea of honing as you describe. Thanks for your time!

    Gunsmithing Polishing a new chamber?

    That was a interesting read! I'm not sure what to make of it, its counterintuitive

    Gunsmithing Polishing a new chamber?

    The last 3 rifle's I chambered, both with SS and CM barrels, were left raw as the finish reamer left them. I have yet to encounter a problem with this method. I have been reading some on the topic of polishing chambers. There seems to be 2 schools of thought about the topic. To be clear this...

    WTB Looking for worn out, take off 6.5 barrels

    I am building a new rifle in 6.5 and have made some lathe and tooling changes since my last barrel. I am looking for a handful of old 6.5 cal take off, worn out, etc barrels to practice setup and chambering before I start on my new barrel. I would rather not ruin a new one if I can get all the...

    Gunsmithing Needed, worn out 6.5 barrels ?

    I guess I should have been more clear. Yeah I'm willing to cover shipping and make it worth someone's time to ship them. I'm looking for 2-3 worn out or discarded barrels. I just need a few to chop the chambers off and practice on.

    Gunsmithing Needed, worn out 6.5 barrels ?

    I am changing how I chamber my barrels and trying some different tooling, layout, etc. I want to get everything working on a scrap barrel before I go full bore on a new one. I am looking for a handful of old 6.5 caliber barrels. I figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks
