    Gunsmithing PTG bolt, coat it, blue it, NP3 it?

    Re: PTG bolt, coat it, blue it, NP3 it? Do the coating after; albeit it's cheap insurance to talk to your smith about this. As to finishes, I'd say talk to PTG to see if it'd be okay to Melonite it. If so, that's the way to go. And if you want to trick it out a bit, have it mod'ed so it...

    Gunsmithing Best paint for fiberglass stocks?

    Re: Best paint for fiberglass stocks? There's an air dry version of Norrells Moly Resin which might be worth a look, & or a phone call to them to discuss the product. http://www.johnnorrellarms.com/ Also, there's the Dura Coat Shake-n-Spray Kit I haven't watched them, but know that there...

    10/22 buildup, or Savage FV-SR, and what ammo?

    Re: 10/22 buildup, or Savage FV-SR, and what ammo? Kinda' tough to go wrong with a 10/22. You've got good accuracy, & more choices in modular parts to tune/build the rifle than you can shake a stick at. And quick follow up shots for pest control, if the first round don't get the job done...

    You know you're shooting long range when:

    Re: You know you're shooting long range when: Your muzzle blast kills more foliage than agent orange. Your spotter wears a space suit for protection from your brake's blast. And has to tether himself to the ground with kevlar lines & pitons, so when you squeeze one off it doesn't launch him...

    Thoughts - Squirrels, angle shooting, and ammo FPS

    Re: Thoughts - Squirrels, angle shooting, and ammo FPS I'm guessing that a big part of the increasing misses as you go more vertical has to to with the vertical offset of your scope's axis above the bore. And were you to switch back to irons, or a real low, skinny tubed, scope, some of the...

    To Ion-bond bolt or not???

    Re: To Ion-bond bolt or not??? Did you have him Melonite any Remington bolts? I ask, due to the temps involved in Meloniting, because Rem bolts are brazed together. That & I don't know at what temps any damage might occur to any heat treatment in a Rem bolt. Though it surely would be nice...

    To Ion-bond bolt or not???

    Re: To Ion-bond bolt or not??? There's another interesting discussion going on about bolt coatings going on HERE involving the use if Cerakote's Micro Slick. It'd be interesting to hear back from those who've tried either or both, to get opinions on corrosion resistance, as well as what...

    Long gun pack questions.

    Re: Long gun pack questions. Anyone want to offer up their $0.02 on using one of these to carry their rifle for this sort of thing. Eagle-DB-BS IIRC they weigh 3lbs, & while they surely aren't as quick as a Eberlestock, they're multifunctional. So I'm curious as to opinons & experiences.

    Long gun pack questions.

    Re: Long gun pack questions. I'd be interested in the AAR's as well. Though IIRC, I recall reading some abridged versions of competitors post even thoughts from a few of the 24hr+ comps years back. Not sure what section of the Hide they'd be in now, as the forum's undergone several changes...

    Need help with the sun

    Re: Need help with the sun It's gonna sound counter intuitive, but wear 2 shirts. A regular white cotton t-shirt, & then something white, or light colored with an open weave over top of it. Such is the KISS, inexpensive route, & it worked for me where there was no shade, when I was south of...
