    Gunsmithing Grizzly G0509G

    Good choice. Although VFDs are nice to have, the lathe has a total of 16 very good speeds. I also have this one in my shop at home and use a 10 H.P. Rotary phase converter. By the way, the rotary phase converters we sell are made in USA. Just be sure and put it a little ways from the lathe...

    Gunsmithing Lathe Decision

    No matter what you end up with, it will be nice to have. While there are good deals on used lathes if you know what you are looking at, a new lathe is an investment like a nice new rifle. If you ever have to sell it, you will not lose much money, specially if you take good care of it.

    Gunsmithing Lathe Decision

    Mike - We don't have any under power at the showrooms, but have sold many around the country, so let me look and see if there is a customer close to you that has bought one and could be easy for you to get an unbiased opinion. Of course, I have the one in my shop at home. No chucks, no...

    Gunsmithing Lathe Decision

    Mike - I love that machine!! I have 3 lathes in my shop and it sits right next to the G0509G that you also have. The G0509G is a like a brute line-backer that you can depend on and the SB1009 is like the beautiful Cheerleader with brains, that makes you smile every time you look at her :)...

    F T/R Competition New Captain for USA F-Open Team

    Happy New Year Everyone. Yesterday marked my last day as Captain of The United States F-Class Open Rifle Team. I had indicated to the team several months back that I would not be able to continue serving as the Captain of the team due to time constraints. I am pleased to state that the NRA...

    Gunsmithing Whats your dream lathe

    We are on the second prototype stage of the lathe. Looks great. Should be completed soon and then we can get the first shipment in. Testing it thoroughly so we avoid issues after they hit the market. I would say Summer to Fall 2014.

    New Sponsor - Bullets.com

    If you look at my first post, there is a suggestion for the consumer that they can call their credit card company and link their "bill-to" and "ship-to" addresses. It does not change your original bill to address with the credit card company. I know this because I have had to do it on my...

    New Sponsor - Bullets.com

    Yes, I know what you were told and thus the explanation in my post about what the operators were telling customers initially. Certainly, you can appreciate that we do not reveal on a public forum the way in which we would check out ship-to addresses for fraud, but you can try to place an order...

    New Sponsor - Bullets.com

    Actually, some of our operators misinterpreted the policy and applied it universally when the site was launched a few weeks ago. We do ship to addresses other than billing, but after that address is thoroughly checked out. Therefore those orders will take a little longer to process. Another very...

    Gunsmithing Switching Barrels

    Changing barrels is very easy and you do not need to remove the stock in most cases. I never do. Here's a link that shows what it looks like. https://www.woodstockint.com/catalog/2013/BaldEagle/11 As far as using a torque wrench - you can if you don't change barrels often. Our team...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly.com barrels

    Jrr - Although I have not tried the juggernauts I believe that the twist might be a little fast for them. Perhaps someone with experience with the 185s could fill in that blank.

    Gunsmithing Grizzly.com barrels

    Big Blue - thanks for the compliment. This barrel was brought on because of a recommendation by Frank at Bartlein barrels. Quite often I will call him up and ask him what is selling well and he will give me a run down of the various calibers and lengths etc. We will then add them to our...
