    I'll dig out the brass and snap a few pics for educational purposes here.

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    Only 2 of the 10 cases split, but the other 8 showed near-catastrophic stress right at the case web. Yes I really need help with this project and y'all have been extremely helpful. I've got enough things wrong with me medically...I don't need to add anything to the list by pushing my luck.

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    I only tried 1 type of factory ammo and 1 type of handload. I only fired 10 rounds total as I didn't want to experience a hard failure and/or break something. It's easier & cheaper to just stop, re-evaluate and ask some questions. I've gotten great responses here and in some PM's as well...

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    No cuts and my headspace gauges are pretty new Forsters. I do know how to properly use them and also how to properly care for them. I've conversed with Mr. Gordon and I will more than likely be sending him the rifle for a proper diagnosis and also accurate measurements. Once that's done I'll...

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    I wish it was that easy to diagnose but the cases that were splitting were factory loaded ammunition. My handloads showed signs of stress, but no separation.

    Mark, that's incredibly generous of you and I'll be sending you a PM today with some questions and whatnot.

    Chad, I appreciate you explaining that technique and I'll give it a try but what measurement range should the solder piece be when I'm done...and I assume that I should check it on both lugs as well?

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    Ok, so I did this test with the bolt that originally came with this donor rifle (ADL that was stripped for the bolt & action strictly for this build) and the bolt handle isn't touching the rear of the receiver ring...but it's very close and I also get slight lateral movement. Then I took...

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    Ok, I think it's sinking in now and realizing that take-off barrels are a bigger roll of the dice than I previously thought and is just better to finish chamber a barrel. Also thanks for noting to take depth measurements with a proper depth gauge. How terrible/crappy are the case web...

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    I got .466 with an unfired case and .471 with a fired one w/o separation. When you set this clearance then how do you set your headspace while maintaining this clearance?

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    Big Toby, thanks for the explanation. I'll break it down tomorrow and make some measurements. What specs should I be seeing and when does it become too much? I'm only asking because I'm still learning and have been going off headspace gauges and last thing I want to happen is to lose body...

    Pardon my ignorance, but how do I measure that?

    Gunsmithing Case head seperation Remington 700 help

    I just rebarreled a Rem700 (factory 24" lightweight barrel for a 20" heavy tactical) and set the headspace with Forster gauges and got to test fire her this afternoon. I fired some factory 7.62x51 ammo as well as some .308 and 2 of the 7.62 rounds started to separate that the top of the case...

    Movie Theater Combat Pawn

    Re: Combat Pawn Did anyone notice that they cleared their own cars that they just drove in with? You would think that if they knew what they were doing they would park up the street, then gear up and then clear the property. They friggin' geared up & loaded up in the same place where the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ID Help

    Re: Scope ID Help Valken, that's exactly what I have!! I still have the rear rubber eye piece but I had to cut the rubber front piece off because it was dry rotted and shedding rubber fragments. So it is actually made by Kahles for the IDF...very interesting. Does that auction price seem...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ID Help

    Re: Scope ID Help Jetmd-I just reconfirmed with a magnet that the body is steel. Cut-I really wish that it is a ZF95 but I just can't find any Kahles markings or anything else that is stamped into the metal like the "cat no" numbers are...which I googled and came up empty. I'm still stumped...

    Rifle Scopes Scope ID Help

    I recently picked up a Rem700 that came with a scope that looks like a Kahles but because it was painted over a number of times there are very few markings that make it difficult to identify. It somewhat reminds me of a ZF 95 that I once owned in basic appearance, but if it's actually a Kahles...
