    Feedback Good Guy List

    Re: Good Guy List Just completed another transaction with Aries64. He's 110% GTG. Does what he says, when he says. What more could you ask?

    Gunsmithing Silver soldering bolt handle

    Re: Silver soldering bolt handle Though I would reccomend a tig weld as well, anything over 65% silver will work, higher content up to at least 90% is better. (I've not tried higher.) I've even used high cadmium (85%) solder in a pinch with good results. I use either ribbon or 1/36" diameter...

    Gunsmithing Jewell trigger is "squishy"

    Re: Jewell trigger is "squishy" WOW! I've never seen a Jewell act like that! Generally, "squishy" is too much sear engagement, and "scary light" is not enough. Have you swapped out the sear springs? I'm trying to think of something that could create those issues, and using too heavy a spring...

    Gunsmithing high grade torx tools?

    Re: high grade torx tools? I bought some ISOMAX torx bits that are stronger than anything else I've used. If you're twisting off bits, not rounding the screw, it's not drill time yet. Try a good solid whack with a hammer (on the screwdriver bit.) That will often break loose the locktite. Next...

    Gunsmithing mag ??

    Re: mag ?? jgunner, the 770 hasn't been on the market too long, and to the best og my knowledge noone is making aftermarket magazines for it. Rem only offers the 3 (magnum calibers) or 4 (standard calibers) round mags that it comes from the factory with. These rifles, and the now discontinued...

    Gunsmithing Cutting a die with a chamber reamer.

    Re: Cutting a die with a chamber reamer. As state above, the seating die can. I've seen folks cut a shorter version for a resize die with questionable results. It works relatively well with a case that has a lot of taper, but an AI round isn't a good candidate. Rather than re-cut an existing...

    Need donor action...options

    Re: Need donor action...options Option 4. A Stiller, Lawton or similar 700 clone. The custom actions are made to such close tolerences they don't need "trued," so save a lot of 'smith work.

    Rifle Scopes Sportsmans Depot in WA...opinions?

    Re: Sportsmans Depot in WA...opinions? They're the folks that took over the Sportsman's Warehouse locations in the NW (in lieu of payment) when S. W. was about to go bankrupt on them. They own a chain in Canada, but haven't been operating here very long, so it's hard to tell.

    Range Report 270 win?

    Re: 270 win? If you're talking hunting, it's a great round. For targets most prefer a 6.5 or 7mm (in similar calibers at least) due to the greater avaliability of match grade bullets in a wide variety of weights and configurations. A 6.5-06, 6.5-284, or 280 are so similar in proformance the...

    Gunsmithing barrel swap--gunsmith help please

    Re: barrel swap--gunsmith help please I don't know the Browning tenon measurements off the top of my head. My best recomendation is to contact the 'smith you want to do the work and ask HIM. That way you are getting an opinion of what HE can do. That prevents a conflict of opinions as to what...

    Gunsmithing M700 switch barrel setup?

    Re: M700 switch barrel setup? I use aluminum vise jaws with a V cut as a barrel vise and a few sheets of newspaper to keep from marring the barrel. It's a piece of cake to swap one. I also use the Wheeler wrench, though I don't much care for the Remington/Savage version. A Mauser wrench will...

    How does Remington 710 compare to the 700?

    Re: How does Remington 710 compare to the 700? You don't really want one. They didn't even thread the barrels...just press them in. It will shoot OK if it's a palm-sized group you need, but you can shop a bit and find a better rifle for the same money. The Stevens (Savage) is roughly the same...

    Re: Custom Drill and Tap size (.578 x 28tpi) I have gentleman who resharpens all my cutting tools. He's amazing! I'm willing to bet he can recut a 5/8-28 to suit. It'll be Monday before I can call him, but I'd be happy to. i ran into similar troubles looking for 9/16-28 and 5/8-28 taps...

    Reloading old brass?

    Re: Reloading old brass? The tarnished stuff will revert to that state pretty quickly. Many 06 loads are pretty forgiving, but at very least seperate the commercial brass from the military. The military brass is substantially thicker, so has less case capacity. If you're loading anywhere near...

    Hunting & Fishing Leases

    Re: Leases In TX we normally put up a couple strands of wire around the feeders. It will usually stop cattle, and doesn't even slow deer down. Most of the land owners are good guys, but getting everything you can think of written down prevents a lot of misunderstandings. Nearly everyone has...
