    Gunsmithing Bedding with an aluminum bedding block

    Re: Bedding with an aluminum bedding block The threads about bedding are so concerned with making sure the finished product does not introduce any stress or tension (or optionally a determined timy ammount) into the action at rest, I'm kind of surprised that more people aren't comcerned by...

    Gunsmithing Advice on build?

    Re: Advice on build? All comes down to what you like and what you want. A gun that will shoot is a gun that will shoot, the details of what parts you picked to get there are just so much hand wringing. If you're building it yourself I think the 591 is a lot easier to get a good shooter...

    If I buy this shirt am I a poser?

    Re: If I buy this shirt am I a poser? This reminds me, I was sitting at a light in Myrtle Beach the other day and a C6 convertible pulls up beside me. I marvel at the long haired yet balding (aka Middle Management Mullet) fat tax accountant type that's sitting behind the wheel. I make a...

    Gunsmithing How hard is it to modify an action for an AW mag?

    Re: How hard is it to modify an action for an AW mag? I ended up using a round file to modify my ramp, I just couldn't work out a good way to get the cuts I needed using the mill. It feeds perfectly but this was before folks like stiller and defiance were offering A/W specific actions out of...

    Gunsmithing 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question

    Re: 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question yeah, I fixed it on mine; this was just a question brought on by finding two rifles from two different people with apparently the same mistake and wondering if maybe there was a reason beyond "fuckup." It's really nice having the micrometer reamer...
