    First bolt action rifle finished. :)

    Re: First bolt action rifle finished. :) If it is anything like the Howas that a friend of mine owns (couple of .308s, .243 and .223), it will be very good. His rifles in factory wood stocks shoot very well.

    Gunsmithing Jeff at CDI

    Re: Jeff at CDI I understand for a professional looking job, you should send it to Jeff to do it, but is the CDI DBM install difficult enough that someone shouldn't, or couldn't attempt to do it on their own? Just wondering if someone who is proficient enough with rotary tools could attempt...

    Re: Duracoat over krylon cb, I believe you meant to say you called Lauer, not Larue, right? Larue makes great scope mounts, where Lauer makes Duracoat.

    Gunsmithing B&C medalist a2 stock.

    Re: B&C medalist a2 stock. Well I fitted my B&C medalist A2 to my Howa barreled action tonight. Took only a small bit of time and some pieces of 100 grit sand paper, and the job was completed pretty quickly. The stock was very easy to sand, without worrying about sanding too far as long as...

    Rifle Scopes TPS ring failure...

    Re: TPS ring failure... Has anyone bought their TPS rings through another vendor? Would you still have to go through TPS direct for replacement, or did the vendor take care of you when you had problems? I guess every vendor is different but I would the vendor will handle most questions and...

    Gunsmithing Scope base bedding

    Re: Scope base bedding Great post. I checked my new Howa barreled action tonight after I duracoated it two weeks ago. On the bare action, the EGW rail to action fit was as good as can be, no gaps anywhere and flat. After duracoating both the action and the rail, there is now a high spot...

    Gunsmithing B&C medalist a2 stock.

    Re: B&C medalist a2 stock. Sorry for hijacking, but are there any concerns with sanding too much and getting loose fibers from the stock? Not sure if their construction is anything like McMillan or Manners...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat over krylon

    Re: Duracoat over krylon Citristrip shouldn't harm the plastic, and it will take the Krylon off. Duracoating on top of Krylon is not recommended, you don't want to put a strong finish on top of a weak one, if anything, you can duracoat first, then Krylon over that once duracoat cures.

    Rifle Scopes Setting Up An EREK Knob

    Re: Setting Up An EREK Knob According to other users here and USO, the 34mm only increases the outer OD of the tube while keeping the same ID of the tube as the 30mm, so it should offer the same amount of erector tube travel as the 30mm. The 35mm tube however offers a bigger ID and offers...

    Rifle Scopes US Optics Mil Reticle options

    Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options Saw a SN-9 on the shop table when I was at USO last week in all its OD anodized glory... that scope seemed like it was at least 2' long... it was awe-inspiring and scary at the same time. It dwarfed my SN-3 TPAL with 35mm tube and 44mm objective.
