    Gunsmithing Budget Brakes?

    Gunsmithing Need a lead on a torgue wrench for scope mounting

    Re: Need a lead on a torgue wrench for scope mounting The 2 brands I mentioned are also available in different dial readings. That is, a greater range. Ex. 0-75, 0-125, in. lbs. You would have to visit their website for more info. But once again, direct readout, what you see is what you have.

Also, break all sharp edges on the corners.This will definitely help. The tapped hole trends to raise a burr, remove it. With this slight touch up , I've had no...
