Gunsmithing New Barrel Installation - Please Help!
Re: New Barrel Installation - Please Help! There are several way to chamber a gun so I'll give you a run down on how I do it. Right or wrong to some, it's what I do. I chamber in the headstock (through the spindle bore) of the lathe with a spider on the back side so the barrel doesn't whip...- Idaho CTD

Gunsmithing New Barrel Installation - Please Help!
Re: New Barrel Installation - Please Help! Most likely the threads will have to be cut off and recut in addition to having the chamber redone. The reason I say that is if your threads were cut when your receivers were trued they might be 1.065 to 1.075"+. If the barrel is threaded for a...- Idaho CTD

Worlds fastest .30 cal
Re: Worlds fastest .30 cal I've tried and your right Wipeout won't get it out. If the Kroil doesn't work I'll try some JB's. I read a article about a 6 MachIV years ago that they had the same problem and JB's wouldn't get it out. That is where there Bon Ami was discussed. Even though it is...- Idaho CTD

Worlds fastest .30 cal
Re: Worlds fastest .30 cal I built a .30-378 IMP probably 15+ years ago. It pushed the shoulder forward to give it 1 caliber worth of neck with a 35* shoulder. In a 30" barrel it would do 4100+fps with 150's, 3965 with 165's, and about 3850 with 180's. It would carbon foul like crazy but I...- Idaho CTD

Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie?
Re: Break Blew Off - where does the problem lie? Was the brake turned down from it's original diameter? I don't mean tapered to the barrel, I mean the whole thing turned down? If it was then that is the problem and the smith is to blame. His brakes aren't designed to be turned down. They are...- Idaho CTD

got a couple barrels today
Re: got a couple barrels today I'll have to look at the serial number on the 1.5"x36" .338 barrel I got from him about 15 years ago after a 16 month wait. I have another in 7mm he says I should have anytime. It will be interesting to see how close the serial number is to 20,000. I went and...- Idaho CTD
