    Four hours of driving through a blizzard... WORTH IT!

    Damn that SAA is in really amazing shape. I have a soft spot for them, they are a piece of art to me. I almost picked up a bottle of Lexington last weekend. I haven't tried it, is it pretty decent?

    Gunsmithing Barrel crown under a muzzle brake?

    I got ya, I had read something about it years ago but couldn't remember. But that sounds right, from what I can recall. I cut all 90° recessed crowns on my barrels. Except for the my threaded barrels which all have a standard 90° crown. That's funny it was just a random number they decided to...

    22LR AR Build.

    That JP is amazing, that's a nice rig they really are top notch. My 16" DPMS barrel is 1:16 so that's what I planned to duplicate. Seems to be most blanks I've looked at are 1:16 for .22RF. Lothar Walther has rimfire blanks for a decent price and I've been pondering one of them.

    Gunsmithing Barrel crown under a muzzle brake?

    While it's probably true that it doesn't have much effect, I don't think anyone wants to be running a rough, jagged crown that aids in excess carbon buildup. Like the pics above, it's bad enough with a good crown when running any muzzle device/can. If you spend all the time it takes to make...

    Gunsmithing Barrel crown under a muzzle brake?

    Here's one they cut with a chop saw as they went: https://rifleshooter.com/2014/12/308-winchester-7-62x51mm-nato-barrel-length-versus-velocity-28-to-16-5/ On a side note, I've had good luck using the 308 velocities listed in this^^^ article when I didn't have a chrony handy...

    22LR AR Build.

    Been out playing with this little rifle today, me and my son... It makes for an excellent little trainer. These Blackdog Colt/DPMS conversion mags are really great for these little guns. Maybe a little long, lol, but they are top notch so far for me. They hold 32 rounds and are made of some...

    Gunsmithing Barrel crown under a muzzle brake?

    I use mostly recessed crowns just to try to give the crown itself a little protection. I have cut them on my barrels that don't have them. I don't have a lathe yet so I'm doing it the hard way via T-Handle facing cutter and crown cutter to recess and square the crown to the bore via a brass...

    Gunsmithing Vice block for an AR

    This^^^ Right on the money. There's a lot of different ways to skin this particular cat. The moral being that you want to have the barrel being held by the vise not the upper. The V-Blocks mentioned are great because you can use them for many different barrel diameters and contours. ETA: The...

    Gunsmithing Vice block for an AR

    I would suggest a barrel vise. That way your gripping the barrel alone and no forces are being applied to the upper whatsoever. I'm in the process of making one now that has a V-Block for the base. LRI makes one of the nicest I've seen. But like GH41 said, if you have a vice, then you already...

    MP5 demilled parts kit at botach

    I built a few HK clones. I had a reverse stretch K that was my favorite. I used the Omega stripped receiver from Atlantic Firearms and it was actually in-spec and had no fitment/alignment issues. I used mostly new U.S. made parts though. RCM, "Rim Country Manufacturing" made barrels, trunnions...

    Gunsmithing Barrel crown under a muzzle brake?

    I would say yes as the very last thing to have any bearing on the bullet is the rifling at the crown. Like the tips of a quarterbacks fingers releasing a football, for lack of a better analogy... I believe having a nice square crown would be more important than the style that is cut beneath the...

    DPMS Oracle Handguard Change

    You may also want to consider a "drop-in" rail or quad rail system? I have multiple KAC RAS systems that drop right in place of hand guards and give you what your looking for without cutting the delta ring. The time you spend cutting that delta ring off, plus the risk of damaging the...

    Crap, lol, I don't why I thought it was a 308... My bad OP, fixed my post above to make sense...

    DPMS Oracle Handguard Change

    I recommend a full rail covering the gas block too. It also helps keeping your gas block from being knocked around if not pinned. I do recommend getting a quality gas block though, cheap ones don't seal, have overbored gas pin holes, etc. You'll want to measure the outside diameter of the barrel...

    Race baiting...?

    Agreed, unless I'm planning to use it, I don't want anyone to know I have it. It's just for show and most of those types aren't doing gun owners any favors. Just giving MSM more bullshit to spin against us.

    22LR AR Build.

    That's too bad Keystone got out of the rimfire uppers. They make quality barrels, never tried one of their rimfire set ups. I've had really great luck so far with this old DPMS set up. It's just an old Colt conversion set up with a dedicated barrel. The barrel and extension are very similar to...

    Gunsmithing 700 Custom Extractor Options and Opinions...

    I have been curious about these bolts also. They appear to be well machined, but looks can be deceiving. I haven't heard much about them from other builders/shooters. Hopefully someone will chime in who has direct experience with one. I appreciate all the great info, thanks to LongRifles Inc...

    700 Custom Extractor Options and Opinions...

    So I'm doing some research on custom extractor options for 700 bolts. I know the question has been asked, but there isn't a more recent thread that I could find that provided info on all of them in one place. I did a search and came up with a few...

    Son of a !@##$

    Like S197 said, if you would post some pics of the GB so we can see what your working with? Also "careful" application of heat can assist in removing these jammed gas block pins. You gotta be quick, start tapping as quickly as possible after removing heat. Or if you can fix the torch head so...
