    anyone use a 22-250 with 1/8 twist barrel?

    Ditto on the 22-250 with 1:8. I've only shot 75 hornadys in it and it it shoots great.

    Altering a Bell and Carlson stock

    What were the "wings" made of? Or should I ask, What's under the outer skin? I wanted to do that awhile back but was worried it might be the same punky crap like in a McMillan stock.

    Gunsmithing Cut away view of chamber

    I like seeing those cutaways of "shot" barrels. I did a 6.5x55 a couple years ago and it looks just like that.

    Gunsmithing bad chamber job

    Back to what he should do...... Let the gun smith fix it. It will take very little to clean up the scratch in the chamber. A 260 has plenty enough taper to clean that up in a very short distance. You are not going to even notice the loss in barrel length it will be so small. It's a new barrel...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths Who Have Worked On Tikka T3 Actions

    Also the barrel didn't break off any harder than any Factory Remy or Savage I have taken off. The sporter barrel contour made it a little harder for me to clamp on but only damage I did was rub the blueing in one spot.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths Who Have Worked On Tikka T3 Actions

    Just another confirmation. I just gauged factory new 223 barrel that I just took off a sporter T3 for a build and it is definatly 1" x 16tpi. It matched a thread gauge Perfectly. The OD of the threads measured .999" on two of my calipers.

    Thanks Zak. I keep sifting through the threads. I just didn't see the course explained.

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    How many total rifle targets were there? And how does the pistol section run? I'm thinking about trying it next year as Douglas is only a couple hours from me.

    Gunsmithing 223 barrel contour choice for prone, off hand and sitting

    Look at a heavy Palma contour. It's a little heavier than the rem varmint but not as heavy as a HV or M24.

    Gunsmithing rebarrel cost?

    Re: rebarrel cost? Don't knock the guys price. Not all barrels come off in ten minutes. There are always risks that a gunsmith takes when working on someone's gun. There are also the heat and lights to consider. If he can't make a living doing it, there is no point in having a shop. A guy has...

    Maggie’s Favorite beer thread

    Re: Favorite beer thread Czech beer is the best. Not the imported Pilsner E crap, but the in country good stuff. My favorites are Staropramen and Zlatopramen. don't even remember all the other local brands there but they were great too. Always draft and always cheap! Spent two months there is...

    Gunsmithing Is this possible with an AR?

    Re: Is this possible with an AR? yeah, turn the gas block(if its not pinned) so the hole doesn't line up.

    Gunsmithing what to modify on savage 10fp

    Re: what to modify on savage 10fp If it's the HS stock version, I wouldn't do anything to the stock. Federal Gold match is decent ammo and so is your rifle. I would put the money into reloading equipment. Make better ammo. In the end you'll spend as much on ammo as factory, but you'll shoot...

    Gunsmithing Question for guys threading muzzle 1/2x28

    Re: Question for guys threading muzzle 1/2x28 I agree with undersizing. I usually thread until snug fit though. But .497-.495" is a good starting point. Takes very little to polish off a thou or two if that's too tight, but you can't add it if it's too loose.

    Gunsmithing Can I adjust a non acutrigger

    Re: Can I adjust a non acutrigger You can usually adjust them down alittle. Just don't get crazy with it. If you have a nasty 7 pound pull, you should be able to get it down to a reasonable amount safely. Just don't expect a safe 1-2 pound trigger from the old unit. Always slam the heck out...

    Re: Advice on a lathe Plus 1 for the Grizzly. They have a great gunsmith lathe a fuzz over $3000 that comes nicely equiped and has a big enough thru hole to do most any gun work.

    Gunsmithing Tig'ing bolt handles?

    Re: Tig'ing bolt handles? Just make sure they are good at it. I had a local welder try it and he could just as well used a stick welder. Looked like crap. And he thought it was a good job. Definition of "good" is variable.

    Savage LRP???

    Re: Savage LRP??? I have two rifles with the savage target accutrigger. I cannot get either to go to 6oz-8oz reliably. If you don't lower the bolt very gently, they'll trip. If you hold the trigger forward when cocking you can make it work. But then the safety shoe in the trigger is the...
