    Gunsmithing Who sells Bartlein 6.5 barrels that will export to New Zealand.

    Brownells would I think, but they typically stock heavy contours, you might need to recontour once there. J

    Gunsmithing Separated case stuck in AX.

    This is good advice, I'm picking up a file soon. Now I want to know if it was an AINA barrel...cause I'd blame the chamber job :) Just kidding, Dave!

    Gunsmithing How to contact Rock Creel Barrels

    He's cut rifled on here I think, but in reality you just need to wait, it's likely 6 months at the soonest and don't get nervous until 12 months. They are busy as all barrel makers are.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex quality control issues?

    The OP is happy with his new scope, all that's going on here is a pissing match. Rob likely be told there was some other motive if he locked this thread so I will. Threads like these do nothing to make snipershide.com a better place, so it will end now.

    Where are you guys buying Vasco 7000? I googled it just to find the cost for 5 gallons and don't get anything but a corporate website and some press releases. Guess I need to call around locally. J

    STR...I would get a T-shirt printed with that quote and wear it proudly if T.C. ever spoke such kind words about my gunsmithing abilities. :)

    Gunsmithing Good company for ar15 80% lowers

    Ares Armor is one of the most popular. They are constantly being raided by the ATF, sued by the state of California, investigated for random stuff....so they must be doing something right :) Home - Ares Armor

    Gunsmithing PTG? Anyone know what's going on there?

    I've spoken with them recently, I think they are really very busy. Call and ask for Sheila, I spoke to her and she seems to be helpful and responsive. Took her an extra day, maybe two, but she did get back to me with info I needed.

    Gunsmithing Remington Action Truing Options?

    Thanks, dinc. Got that book on the way. Haven't checked out classes, I'll have to be self taught, with owning a business and 2 young kids and a wife who for some reason wants to see me every once in a while I'm not sure I'm squeezing classes in anywhere. STR (Ozzie) on here has me hooked up...

    Gunsmithing Barrel Switch - Rem 700

    The action, bolt, etc are just fine. You'll need to make sure that the new barrel headspaces correctly. For that you'll need a go gauge, a little know how, and a lathe if it's not correct. Jason

    Gunsmithing Robert Gradous chambering on his HAAS TL-1

    Chad, curious water water based synthetic you're using?? My lathe is in my garage and I'm concerned about cutting fluid odor so I'd be interested in hearing about a less potent smelling option. Going to be using a through the barrel flushing system if it matters. Jason

    Gunsmithing Remington Action Truing Options?

    I think I looked at both those places, maybe I'm not sure what I'm looking for, figured it was something like 2.5" OD, 1.5" ID, .5" walls? Or what am I looking for?

    Gunsmithing Remington Action Truing Options?

    Where do I find the aluminum with thick walls like that? Or do I need to buy a solid chunk and bore it out....man that'd take a long time...

    Don't worry about the spelling, but can you answer me in simple terms? Any brand names, viscosity, etc? Like Moly-Dee and Vactra2 mixed with some chicken bones.....?
