    Gunsmithing Who's tubes does Brownells use?

    The Brownells brand barrels. Anyone know who the maker is on the blanks? Just curious. We twisted one on a while back and the shooter loved it. Just wondering.

    Gunsmithing Tacticool stock

    Re: Tacticool stock I'd post this over in the rimfire section. They'd probably be more helpful. But I think Boyds has a "seconds" page that sell stocks CHEAP, and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    Gunsmithing Verifying action truing

    Re: Verifying action truing Generally speaking the action threads will be a bit larger than factory. I would think thats the easiest thing to spot. We made a tool to see just how out of true the threads are in mausers. We simply threaded a rod like we would a barrel, and then turned down the...

    Re: Replacing a muzzle break on Bushmaster? +1 on what HSSS said. We used to do a LOT of them. Been a while since we saw one of the old mini-Y comps. Send me a PM if you'd like and we can do it.

    Gunsmithing Homemade Wood Stock Build

    Re: Homemade Wood Stock Build Great work! The best thing about making your own stocks from a blank is you'll want to do another, and each one gets better from the lessons learned on the last.

    Gunsmithing DBM for 700 LA?

    Re: DBM for 700 LA 30/06 length? Sad as it is, the Kwik Klip feeds 30-06 just fine and is the cheapest route to go. But the cool kids will tease you.

    Gunsmithing Wanting to build am M1Garand 9.3x62

    Re: Wanting to build am M1Garand 9.3x62 If -06 can't bring down the hog, I don't wanna meet him. But it sounds like an interesting project if nothing else. There use to be a guy in Arizona I believe that did some crazy conversions, like 300 WSM in an M-14 and such, but I cannot recall the...

    Gunsmithing Mauser question.

    Re: Mauser question. What type of safety? Is this an orginal military action, or a commercial action? Just curious. Anyway, if its a bolt shroud safety you just pull the bolt, rotate the shroud and pull the safety and install the new one. If you are not comfortable fitting the new safety...

    Gunsmithing problem with throat

    Re: problem with throat Try Cepacol, or Ricola. Works wonders....LOL But seriously, who chambered it? With what spec reamer? If it was proffesionally barreled and they didn't ask if you use a pet load then they failed to do their job. Take it back and ask if they can bump the throat up. If...

    Re: creating vietnam model 70 +1 on what Field said, but it won't be fast. Here's one: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=277912038 You can find them cheaper if you're patient, or a good deal on a complete rifle.

    Gunsmithing Gunkote over a wood stock

    Re: Gunkote over a wood stock Shooting a higher end finish like Gunkote on wood is like a fat chick in a Prada dress. Sure, its doable, but why? I'd go with simple krylon, or something air-cured. We are probably the biggest fan of KG products here, but I just don't see the need for it on...
