    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Corrected model. Here's where the goof was. The 2 radius features and tangency was off a bit, causing the screw heads to look radically different than the artifact pieces Ryan provided me. Next, this feature which directly influences how much exposure the screw head has when viewed from...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    A quick heads up gents. I made a batch of rings (see earlier pics from a few months ago), but I've been on the fence about them. Showing them to some local folk, the opinion was "close enough." Still, I was gritting my teeth a bit which is a sign. Meeting Ryan again in Sioux Falls a few...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    Crank is a billet piece from Callies. The profiling of the counterweights is from them. The rods are aluminum and from GRP. The stroke of the crank and the size of the AL rods required a bit of blockwork to clear the caps. We went with the largest base circle that we could on the camshaft...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    Early, mid 1990s. I'm in the Marines and I whore myself to any race engine shop within a half hour of Camp Pendleton. Richard Conley Race Engines was located in Escondido back then and contracted with the Chapparone brothers (Chapparone Auto Body in San Diego) He was in charge of their...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    I had no part in this. My engine builder likes to mess with me at any opportunity.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Hey gents, Regarding mail. We've been in business formally since early 2009. In that time I have had around 6 or 7 guns/parts go MIA for a while via the USPS. They've all been recovered, but it took a while. By and large, USPS Priority Mail does a very good job. What can get you into...

    The short block was zipped up over the weekend. The top end comes next. Were hoping to rattle dust out of the ceiling tiles soon.

    Gunsmithing EH5 into an EH5A. Cheek Piece stuff...

    Here's how it ended up after fitting hardware: The bottom gap is .05" fatter than the sides because I have a piece of double sided foam tape locating the cheek piece to the base.

    Gunsmithing EH5 into an EH5A. Cheek Piece stuff...

    First, gut the back end to remove the light weight foamy stuff. Hardware won't attach to it very well. Next, light weight filler. Tom@Manners sold me a box of his light weight filler material years ago. Whips up like instant spuds. Once it cures, in the mill to be cut: With two...

    ARC Receivers

    FWIW: Ol Ted and I are good friends and we chat often. The new action replaces the Archimedes and the Nucleus. As I understand it, they are no longer available. The Mausingfield is still around. We argue often about the Mausingfield and I pout like a child in an attempt to guilt him into...

    Overkill 300BLK Bolt Gun Project

    My wife is the glue here, lol. I'd either be in jail or prison without her. Ever since the Remmy supernova its tough to find M700 stuff. I have a small pile of LH stuff, but that's it. Good luck.

    Overkill 300BLK Bolt Gun Project

    The receivers are the same. The only difference is the bolt face diameter. If you are planning to use a detachable magazine it should work provided that the case rim overlaps the nose of the bolt sufficiently enough to ensure reliable feeding. If you load a magazine and insert it, just make...

    Left-Hand Chassis Conversion

    Some "Transgender" surgery I did just last week. Right-eh into a Left-eh. The "lug nut" looking flush cup thingys are something he had me whip up for some kind of widgit tripod thing he has. Arca rail is still in process. I had to pin the weight and followed up with a little glue as the AL...

    Need help diagnosing issue with Rem 700 LA scope base...

    This, unfortunately, is pretty typical on M700 stuff. The good news is it's an easy fix. We likely won't have to weld anything up. All that is required is punching the holes to 8-40. We'll need your barreled action for about ten days. The link below describes the process in more detail and...
