    Loads for 30-06

    RL-22 ok for 24'' -06 barrel with SAAMI chamber? Working on a 1K load and 168s as expected just go transonic at 1k. SO off to bullet store at lunch to see what heavier .30 cal bullets are in stock to get going a little better.

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    I got a 700 ADL once in .270 and a front base screw broke off and it was drilled out and retapped by 'an expert gunsmith'. Afterwhich it found it's way to me, with a beautiful hole throught the scope the EXACT diameter of the screw head.... looked like it had been plunge milled. Lucky enough...

    Gunsmithing Stock barrel after truing action?

    Marky Mark at SAC and a couple of places offer a 700 SPS action that includes squaring up everything BUT the threads, IF the barrel is good enough to use. Once all of the other work is done, then the barrel is set back to proper HS and chamber recut. Works very well- IF the barrel is good...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    It was an ok class, I took it 3 years ago...maybe 4. Good experience, good trip but I learned more about 'Buy my products' and 'MY Equipment' etc. Good tips on applying stencils and such, but to be honest- I like Cerakote's training better and use their products more- if you are looking for a...

    Gunsmithing AR upper and barrel fit

    Freezing the barrel AND the upper works well, and does a nice job. After assembling high end ARs for several years with tighter than normal tolerance on the upper/barrel extension mating surfaces, I used a freezer on more than a bunch of occasions. On the flip side of the coin, the old technique...

    Gunsmithing Broken Tap in Ar15 lower I

    I have used tap extractors before with limited success, IMHO it isn't going to do you a great deal of good. The tap is very small, and if it is really tight, and being in anodized aluminum it is certainly most likely tight, it's going to be nigh impossible. Tapping those small holes is a real...

    Gunsmithing Er shaw barrels?

    ER Shaw barrels are GOOD barrels for the most part. They are a run of the mill button rifled barrel that normally has good bore finish and quality. Are they high end barrels? No. If you have a let's say- a Rem 700, and the barrel is not in good shape, 70'ss era and shot a lot and accuracy is...

    Wal-mart marking ammo

    Re: Wal-mart marking ammo They already instituted their three box max rule in an effort to stop it.Wouldn't surprise me if they start putting smiley face stickers on the boxes with some heavy glue just to be dicks. What difference does it make where it came from when no one can get it? Had...

    Gunsmithing @ AR15 and barrel experts. Barrel question?

    Re: @ AR15 and barrel experts. Barrel question? Be aware that if you drill it to open it up, and odds are good that you will at 14.5''- you will most likely leave a burr and will need to DEburr it, elsewise the burr will get strung down the bore and if it overlaps a land, could cause accuracy...

    Gunsmithing SAC Build

    Re: SAC Build I have pictures of Mark wearing a blonde/grey wig at a poker game...... When I stopped in and rattled his cage last spring he was looking weary from having so many rifles to build, so if that tells you anything he isn't busy because he sucks..... Which he may- but I'm not judging

    Re: My lathe died... 'Suck it lathe- run you hooker!'- Beef_Supreme Got the new switch from Grizzly, got it installed and BAM! Runs like a 7 year old on Mountain Dew. I will be honest- my wife saved the lathe from impending doom. When she got laid off from the company she worked for, and...

    I had an idea........

    Re: I had an idea........ If you had an FFL- it would be totally legal. You could set up with your sign (permissions from the proprety owner of course) and buy and log them in. A LOT of the guns I have seen get turned in are H&R single shot shotguns, jennings pistols, broken .22s....a ton of...

    Gunsmithing My lathe died...

    Re: My lathe died... A new motor will not solve the problem, since the motor now runs, it is the switch in the box between the bump start button and the motor. I of course have to fix, it paid for itself the first year, and everything since has been clear moent for it. I want a better...
