Why is bolt action more accurate than semi?
Re: Why is bolt action more accurate than semi? As it was explained to me in an AR type of gas gun there are very little if any closing cams. They rely on the bolts forward motion to drive the cartridge into the chamber and close the bolt. If it doesn’t quite get there you have a forward...- AJ_Goddard

*Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle *
Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle * I have noticed from earlier photos that this action has a cone bolt with a flat edge to pick up a case out of the mag. The cone in the barrel needs to be pretty deep for this design. I sketched it up as I am thinking it is. As you can see...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing ? and advice on new chuck
Re: ? and advice on new chuck I really like a 6 Jaw Tru-Adjust chuck. It really supports a round part and doesn't distort it as much. Usually you can only get about .01-.02 off center with the Tru-Adjust. I have been known to turn my backing plate to get more adjustment. The 4 jaw gives you...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Savage clones?
Re: Savage clones? I am looking at putting the Savage threads in one of my actions. I am just test things right now and it may be offered in the future. The cone bolt is only used with single shot actions to aid with feeding so that should not be an issue. I can see some merrit in an...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Totally awesome barreling and action truing system
Re: True Bore Alignment System That looks to be a very well thought out system to tram in an action or barrel. If I did chambering or trued Remmy actions I would have to have it. Holding an action without inducing stress. Being able to hold your work securely in a 6 jaw chuck. Not having to...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Reciever/Factory BM Problem
Re: Reciever/Factory BM Problem Kevin Wyatt at Wyatt's Outdoor makes a variety of boxes for the Remmy 700. Some of them have feed lips incorporated into the box. I am sure you can get a box from him that will work. He also just came out with a very informational publication called "The Smoke...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Tapping 8-40 scope holes in stainless
Re: Tapping 8-40 scope holes in stainless I also had issues tapping 6-48 and 8-40 holes with the taps purchased from MSC and Brownells. To say the least the Brownells taps were junk. The MSC taps were a little better but failing prematurely. The problem is they are odd enough sizes no one...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing nasty little trick
Re: nasty little trick If this was an intentional act and not that he was cutting a metric thread and just forgot to put things back he would be banned from ever stepping into my shop.

Gunsmithing 5/8 x 24 thread - muzzle devices - need advice
Re: 5/8 x 24 thread - muzzle devices - need advice Your can, your buddies can, and your yankee hill thread protector won't thread on. You measure .627 at the major diameter. Sounds like 4 things saying your barrel threads are not to spec.- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Cracked Receiver
Re: Cracked Receiver Looks like someone has milled alot of material away from the feed ramp area weakening the lower abutment. Then they filled it with Bondo. It looks as though the lower abutment is starting to move causing the Bondo to break away. 300Sniper is correct this action needs to...- AJ_Goddard

Sounds like fun!
Re: Sounds like fun! The plantation owners might be ready next time. I am sure it wouldn't be hard to jam the radio control and crash their remote controlled air craft. I have heard it happens fairly regularly when two RC planes have their controls on the same frequency. You could just start...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Ole timer ? on P&W lathes
Re: Ole timer ? on P&W lathes I don't have any experience with that particular lathe but I have found that lathes of that vintage were build for using high speed steel cutters as carbide was not available or hadn’t been invented (not quite sure which as I wasn’t around back then either). Thus...- AJ_Goddard

Gunsmithing Threading For Suppressor
Re: Threading For Suppressor The length of the thread is important also. Too much and you will have carbon building up on the threads that extends inside the can.
