    One of this countries first sniper rifles

    Re: One of this countries first sniper rifles Here's Jim's website - I've known him for 20 years. He's a good guy and can certainly fix you up with flintlock stuff. http://www.flintlocks.com/ The slow rifling twist rate is customary for round ball rifles - usually start about 1 in 48" and...

    Model 1917 Eddystone

    Re: Model 1917 Eddystone I'd probably do the crack test, just in case. But I believe most of the cracked receivers are caused at barrel removal. Those barrels are cranked in so bloody tight, when they pop loose I think is when the cracking occurs. If a bad one needs removed, I cut in about...

    Rimfire Concentricity & Accuracy

    Re: Rimfire Concentricity & Accuracy Upon reading the article, I'm wondering if a more productive way to reasonably small grouping would simply be to "loosen" the bullets in the case mouth so they self center in a match chamber. The tester's original 1413 yielded groups almost as small with...

    NEW Hand Tools - US made - What do you recommend?

    Re: NEW Hand Tools - US made - What do you recommend? I still think the Made in USA Crftsman tools are good value for the money. Yeah, lots of people bitch about them, but then they'd bitch if ya set their ass on fire with a new match too. I think they have two lines of tools- some here and...

    Repairable?

    Re: Repairable? Yall will have to excuse my ignorance, but what is it? Is it adversely affecting functioning, or just buggered up the pretty paint job? Anything can be fixed.....given enough money.

    Gunsmithing A couple new shop tools

    Re: A couple new shop tools I think you will really like that vise for general work. I've used that style for 25 years in the shop. Especially good for stocking as you can angle it however you want. Just don't do really heavy working or really big hammers- they do break (don't ask how I know...

    Gunsmithing Seriously modding a shotgun. Need advise

    Re: Seriously modding a shotgun. Need advise Adam I'd go for it. Who dares, wins. If I'd listened to the naysayers 25 years ago, I'd be stuck in a Marxist shithole with a shit job. As it turned out, I went for it and now get paid real money by real people to make the real nice stuff I've...

    Gunsmithing Someone for gun restoration needed

    Re: Someone for gun restoration needed Kenda You are absolutely right. Gun restoration done properly is EXPENSIVE. Why spend all that money to cover those memories? Every one of those marks has a story. Haven't you ever looked at an old hunting rifle and wondered how a particular ding got...

    Don't bother odering from Brownells....

    Re: Don't bother odering from Brownells.... Batchelor Jack I don't order stuff from Brownells for shits and giggles. It's for other people. I've been in this business for 25 years and have learned it's a lot easier to plan ahead a little. Doin everything right up to the wire will get you in...

    Gunsmithing brownells multi vise

    Re: brownells multi vise I have tried the Brownells vise and it's not rigid enough for me. I have used a vise like Redcreek showed for 25 years now and it is by far the best vise I can find for stocking and all manner of handwork. They are very steady and I take the jaws and mill the teeth...

    Protester Takes a Dump on an LE Cruiser

    Re: Protester Takes a Dump on an LE Cruiser I came to the United States 23 years ago (legally BTW) from a country many people here seem to think is paradise. I invite any of these idiots, or anyone else for that matter, to go spend a year in any country of their choice. Then come back and...

    Don't bother odering from Brownells....

    Re: Don't bother odering from Brownells.... What Tripwire said. Hell, if my parts showed up on time I might feel like I had to go to work on time. Calm down folks. It'll be all right tomorrow.

    Gunsmithing Hammer Forged Barrels: Good or Bad?

    Re: Hammer Forged Barrels: Good or Bad? I seem to remember either talking to Boots or reading an article by him many years ago where he had examined cut, button and hammer forged rifling with a video borescope. This was to compare longevity if I remember right (and I don't do that real well...

    Gunsmithing How many honestly wear safety glasses

    Re: How many honestly wear safety glasses Wouldn't fire up a machine without. At least they make bifocal ones now so I can see what I'm doing. Long ago got tired of digging stuff outa my eyes. As one advances in age and the eyes aren't what they used to be, it brings home the point you only...
