    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    I'm inclined to at least partially agree. I think the brake/suppressor mount may be partially responsible since it was made to only allow 0.0125" bullet clearance per side. Even George Vais allowed .020" per side depending on the caliber. Here is a question I can't answer, but isn't it better...

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    In my mind, there is only one place for shim washers, and that is to temporarily correct rotational timing issues when changing between muzzle devices; say, you had a muzzle brake installed that had holes all around and changed to a model that only had holes on the top and sides, and the new...

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    Going to try it this weekend. I've had the scope off and on before and it always comes back within 1 moa; not perfect. but never this much. You're right, the can and the muzzle work may very well be moving it more than expected. I'll take some phone pics and post them; it was stupid of me to...

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    That is about the size of it, especially when it is a relatively easy job to machine the shoulder to the proper rotational timing w/o "guesswork" Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    My guess: the time it would take. Besides, if a hole can 't be drilled on precision machinery, how do you straighten it after? I can"t think of a method to straighten the drilled blank relative to the bore unless it might be hydrauilic. I think the real answer wouod be to use a different...

    Oh, so these are meant to correct rotational alignment? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    So, these washers solve a different problem altogether - rotational alignment, not bore alignment. Have I got it right now? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    OK- are these beveled washers? I'm trying to figure out from the description. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    If I'm reading the propaganda right, these are simply crush washers that give a screw-on muzzle device a shoulder to torque up against in the event, that for whatever reason, the shoulder that was machined during the barrel threading process is not perfectly perpendicular to the bore line. This...

    Gunsmithing Stock Bedding?

    I just realized I left out an obvious but crucial step in this bedding process: the recoil lug. The front, bottom, and sides should be covered with two layers of masking tape; only the rear of the lug should be bedded - at least in my world Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    I spece'd NO SHIMS. This smith is capable of timing the installation so that none are needed. I refuse to have shims on any of my guns. As far as targeting goes, I need to get to a range where noise won't bother my neighbors. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor type

    Yeah. My friend Dave can be a real handful sometimes, but he's never given me bad advice. Too bad he doesn't have a snappy screenname like you and I do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 extractor type

    Getting ready to order a 1 piece bolt from PTG; three extractor choices: Sako, "mini ar15", or AR . For a 300 Win Mag; always used Sako before, tempted to try the AR. Opinions? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    300 Win Mag Bucket Rifle

    OK, I'm tired of a safe file of mediocre factory rifle bumping into each other . I'm cleaning house. First on the list: a 300 WM. Custom Action, 28(yes, 28") barrel finishing out at .990 or so. Single Shot, Solid Bottom Action. Who should I consider to work with? Would even consider a...

    Gunsmithing The Kiss of Death

    Good idea with the range rod, I'l give it a ry tomorrow. I'm a it perplexed because I used a reputable 'smith who I assumed would be able to indicate the bore properly, i.e. through the lathe headstock with twi dial indicators in a range rod i a 4 or six jaw chuck. My lathe is too big to do...
