    Savage 10FP Rechamber or rebarrel? Help!

    Its Obvious you want a .260 and already have enough .308's so set the barrel in safe for future use and get a pre fit barrel in .260. screw it on, headspace and enjoy...simple. Changing the barrel is easy and there are plenty of them out there on shelf for sale so you shouldn't have to wait long...

    Winchester action builds

    I have an FN SPR that Im in the process of building now, which as far as I know is same action. It is harder to find the after market parts for them and the stocks are limited if you want it inletted for them. I think it will turn out nice though when its done, the model 70 action definitely has...

    Gunsmithing First time using a shim set, not crush washer - glue question

    Yes you are correct, I did assume that it was a bolt gun and we know where that gets us. ZombieMonkey Im not trying to get into a pissing mach with you over this, I am simply answering the question that was asked as an alternative to rocksett. You are absolutely correct on red locktite it has no...

    6 Creedmoor - SMALL RIFLE PRIMER

    Easy killer, dont get your panties in a wad...lol. I was half ass making a joke, but my point was this I have shot and loaded the SRP .308 cases and found the speed is a bit more consistant than with LRP...both cases being Lapua, same length, weight sorted, prepped Identical as possible and the...

    6 Creedmoor - SMALL RIFLE PRIMER

    Man I hope my 6.5X47 doesnt ever figure out that it has too much powder for that SRP. I know these are probably not quite as tight as a benchrest rifle but you will have to forgive me, I left my farley rest at home along with my rear bag and shot these out of the back of a pickup prone with a...

    Gunsmithing First time using a shim set, not crush washer - glue question

    You get your brake over 450 degrees sustained temps? I have simply seen rocksett let loose many times over the years especially in highly humid environments and it will let loose from solvents such as for cleaning. When I started using these types of loctite we had no more issues, even on braked...

    what bullet weight to use in Creedmore for 1000yds?

    Sorry to hear about your nephew, glad you recovered from your accident. That is cool you have a place to shoot like that, I have to use a cow pasture and usually out of back of the truck because grass is so high. Hitting a can at 1k yrds is impressive no matter what you use.

    Gunsmithing First time using a shim set, not crush washer - glue question

    Locktite 640 is made for High temperatures and it is not affected by oil or solvents and is a medium strength which is more than enough for the size threads your dealing with but if you want high strength and high temperature go with Locktite 620 and it also is not affected by oil or...

    Ruptured Case

    Why would anyone use a steel cased cartridge in anything that isnt a cheap firearm! Why would you stick something like that into a good rifle with a good chamber? Steel case going into Steel chamber is just a bad idea unless its a piece of crap AK or some cheap AR that you don't care about. I...

    Give me a brake... Ross Schuler

    Anyone know what alloy these brakes are made of? Wonder what machine these are being made on, they look very nice.

    How good is good?

    This is Awesome! That thing would win any bench match I've ever seen the results to....lol. Very Impressive!

    How good is good?

    Let me throw this out there, shooting 3 shot groups is a complete waste IMO. If you are trying to see how truly accurate a precision rifle is try this, instead of shooting 5 seperate 5 shot groups that will most likely have a different point of impact on the target shoot 25 shots into same...

    Too many spare parts and too much spare time...gets you a new rifle

    Yes it adds stability to the action when hanging a barrel from it. The length is determined by the balance point of the action and barrel together. The barrel is still completely free floated but the bedding goes to end of this barrel nut adding about 6in. on this particular one. It basically...

    Too many spare parts and too much spare time...gets you a new rifle

    I'm surprised your the first to notice that, it is not a barrel block. It is a barrel nut that I made of my own design, it is sort of like a miniature free float tube for an AR and only touches barrel where it is threaded. It has clearance all around barrel from the threads out and made to a...
