    Gunsmithing 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question

    Re: 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question Hopefully at some point I'll get the chance to get ahold of the PTG "308 Palma" Go gage it was originally measured against and I can toss it in the Instant Indicator and see how it compares to my Forester gages. Regardless I've upped the steps in my...

    Gunsmithing 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question

    Re: 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question That is what I suspected, but of course at the I time attempted to cut it correctly using the equipment that was made available and then to coincidentally have the next 95 palma chamber I came across also end up having been cut the same amount too deep...

    Gunsmithing 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question

    Unable to find a print, I am wondering if anyone can comment on if there is any difference between a 95 Palma reamer and/or a Go Gage labeled "308 Palma" and a standard Forester 1.630" 308 Go gage? I ask because I've got 2 different chambers cut by two different smiths using 2 different 95...

    Gunsmithing barrel

    Re: barrel Assuming you're talking about a match grade stainless barrel for a precision bolt gun, pretty much all of the major barrel blank makers seem to have settled in on about the same price point. So take your pick of Rock, Oby, Bartlien, Krieger, etc based on personal preference or...

    Gunsmithing PTG Dual Pilot Range Rods

    Re: PTG Dual Pilot Range Rods Out of curiosity, when indicating directly off the bore how much trouble is it trying to get the bottom of the groove or the top of the lands (whichever you're indicating off of) to line up properly with one of the chuck's adjustment axis? It seems like with a 5...

    Gunsmithing Viperskins Installation Video...

    Re: Viperskins Installation Video... People really needed help? Are you going to include safety glasses with each set of skins from now on, or just put a really big sticker on them that says "for the love of god, stop poking yourself in the eye with the wrench!"

    Gunsmithing How do you guys cut a chamber?

    Re: How do you guys cut a chamber? So once you've pre-bored a hole, do you use a pilot bushing at all, or just remove it and let the pre-bored hole guide everything?
