    Hunting & Fishing Looks like I need a dog

    +100 for the Brittany. Smaller size than a lab and tails are docked so you don't deal with things getting nocked off shelves and kids slapped in the face. Smaller mess in the yard than a bigger dog if you have to deal with picking up poo. And I'll take some heat for this one but get a female...

    Newer paints rfor stainless steel barrel

    GunKote has a great air dry if you don't have an oven to use their baked finish. You still need to do all the prep as usual but results are excellent. AlumaHyde from Brownells is also very good and minimal prep, no baking. Buy some extra nozzles though as they tend to plug easy.

    Bolt knob modification

    If you use a belt sander to take some off, then simply give the end a spin at an angle - chamfer done. If you use a file to take it down, just use your file to knock off the sharp edge forming the chamfer. It will all be inside and out of sight in the end - it is simply needed to start the...

    Bolt knob modification

    I do a LOT of bolt knob installs and would say any form of "filling in" will look cobbed so avoid that. If it is simply being stopped because it is bottoming out inside, then I would not hesitate to shorten the threaded portion of the handle then give it a little chamfer to start the threads...

    Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. The idea of the webcam is also interesting.

    Smart phone mounted to spotting scope

    So what did you get? I bought a cheap one a bit ago and initially liked it very well but then got a slightly bigger phone and have issues holding it.

    Home made scope leveling jig....

    Works very well assuming you have a full rail (one piece). As a custom rifle builder, many times a two piece base is used (customer choice) and then a fixture as shown would do the job though I have other methods that work nicely for me. As was stated earlier - there are many ways to skin a cat.

    Removing Cerakote

    Enlighten me please. Tell me what actually works - I would love to purchase it to keep on hand at the shop. Not interested in what "should" work but what you have actually used and how well it worked. By the way - none of those ketones will touch it. Not even a 5% solution of HCL will hurt...

    Removing Cerakote

    I have not tried bead blasting - I use aluminum oxide 120 grit - that is what KG recommends for the prep work.

    DYI Muzzle Brake in Action

    Within my ability to test - nothing happens. I have tried many different shapes, style, sizes, and materials (including the direction of both slots and holes) - other than the noise, point of impact change, and percent of recoil reduction - I have seen no difference in accuracy or speed. Just...

    Removing Cerakote

    Properly applied Baked Cerakote or GunKote will require blasting to remove. If you were able to remove it as you said, then I would suspect this is not CeraKote or GunKote.
