    Gunsmithing Bolt Fluting?

    The AI is a completely different animal than a 2 lug action with massive opening nearly all the way around the bolt body where most people flute.

    Gunsmithing Bolt Fluting?

    It’s strictly cosmetic in a 2 lug action. I doubt it even saves an ounce of weight but I haven’t done the math. I personally feel there is more potential for problems with a fluted bolt body than a smooth bolt body. Edit: I guess you can lose 1.75+ oz.

    Gunsmithing Proof stainless or Bartlein barrel

    But you aren't backing up your claim, or even stating if you are comparing apples to apples. Were these tests done with full steel barrels or CF wrapped?

    Were those steel barrels or carbon wrapped?

    Gunsmithing Proof stainless or Bartlein barrel

    So is that "Proof steel barrels don't have national championships because they are not as good as other barrels." or "Proof steel barrels don't have national championships because they are not as as many of them competing as other barrels."?

    Gunsmithing Proof stainless or Bartlein barrel

    Percentage wise, how many Proof steel barrels have been in long range championship comps vs. others that have been around longer? Is it because they are not good or because not as many have been in use due to the limited timeline they have been available?

    Gunsmithing One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.

    Gunsmithing Aluminum brake?

    Actually, correct. Very minimal pressure and heat is transfered to the aluminum (or polymer) AR15 receivers.

    Gunsmithing Aluminum brake?

    I'm thinking the loading and operating conditions of a muzzle brake are quite a bit different than an AR15 receiver.

    Gunsmithing Aluminum brake?

    There's a lot of uncorking pressure of hot gasses at the muzzle. A muzzle brake works when this high pressure gas slams against the rear faces of the ports. Minimal strength and erosion resistance are two reasons I'd never use aluminum for a centerfire rifle muzzle brake, or any muzzle device.

    Photos Photobucket alternative?

    Can you do it in one shot? I see how to download a folder at a time but I have several folders and thousands of pictures over the last 12 years. I tried one folder but I am unable to open it once it finished.

    Any Fence Contractors Here: No-Climb/Horse Fence Specifically

    Posts are all plumb and look good. It just looks like crap in my opinion when the wire doesn't match.

    Any Fence Contractors Here: No-Climb/Horse Fence Specifically

    I'm in the process of getting my property fenced with 5' no-climb horse fence. The corners and transitions are lodge pole frames and then t-posts in the field. My property is anything but flat and my question is will the 5' no-climb skew with the terrain so the vertical wires stay vertical or...
