    Gunsmithing What is the best wood putty and stain for a wood stock?

    Remove the butt plate. Shave off enough wood to mix with glue such that the glue/wood matches the wood on the stock. Use that mixture as a filler. Dry. Sand. Finish with Tung Oil.

    What do you guys carry your GAP10 / AR10 in?

    Yes. They are an expensive investment that should be wisely transported. However, they are battle field weapons. They do not have to be pampered and transported like a nitro glycerin. For match transportation the hard case is the way. For daily range visits and simple drag bag suffices if...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Filling an air cylinder to charge your pcp is NOT expensive. The cost is around $6. An 80bar cylinder on consignment at a SCUBA shop is @$150. A fill yoke is @$75.

    PCP's: Benjamin Marauder, rifle. (Mrod), from Mak1. Benjamin Marauder, pistol (Prod). Benjamin Discovery, rifle. The English, Turkish, Korean, German and Finnish Pcp types are excellent. Spring guns: Weihrauch 100, 90's, are supposed to be good. Unless a scope is spring gun rated, or a...

    What do YOU do to clean your AR-15?

    Nothing expensive is needed. Mineral Spirits cleans. It cleans every part I have ever needed to clean. Automatic Transmission Fluid penetrates and cleans. So does Kroil, but its expensive. Synthetic grease and motor oil are the best lubricants. Use grease on every moving part you can...

    Hide thoughts about FL resizeing vs. bump shoulder?

    He knows his fired dimension and his set-back dimension. Its 15 thousandths, he wrote. He's asking if that's too much. Zia answered the question. Size cases without the expander ball. Actually, de-cap cases in a separate step, step one. Re-size cases; step two. Expand mouth; step...

    Rifle barrel expansion with increasing temperature

    Re: Rifle barrel expansion with increasing temperature A hot barrel is versatile barrel. One time when I was shooting my 223wssm Mongrel it got so hot that the bullet failed to seal the pressure expanding within the confined chamber. I pointed the muzzle down. The .224" bullet slid down...

    Which cleaning rod

    Re: Which cleaning rod Some rods can be chrome plated which makes them smooth, unlikely to attract microscopic particles which although smaller than any produced by firing explosives that squirt metal projectiles down the twisting, tight bore, could accumulate in the mind and create the...

    Which cleaning rod

    Re: Which cleaning rod Wood dowels as cleaning rod? Use dowels. Wooden ones. Easy on the bore. Dowel is easily cleaned or chucked. For $00.10 grab a new one off your shelf. How hard is that. Someone will say "it won't twist." Yes it will if you do it right. Push a dowel the...

    Gunsmithing Scope touching barrel remedy.

    Re: Scope touching barrel remedy. Stroke the barrel where its touching the scope with a flat file. Won't hurt a thing and will probably help a lot. Simple is good.
