    Gunsmithing Gas Port hole size

    Does anyone have a recommendation for gas port hole size for 6 creedmoor? I'm curious if anyone has played with different sized gas port holes and if it made a difference or what size everyone seems to be using for adj gas block for the 6 creed.

    Gunsmithing Barrel protector

    Re: Barrel protector Most barrels come in a rubber type yellow protective mesh. This works well. I also picked up a while back a bunch of rubber caps that I can put on each end. I store all my blanks that I havent turned yet on a shelf in the yellow plastic/rubber mesh. The extra barrels such...

    Gunsmithing Buying a Lathe

    Re: Buying a Lathe I figured I would chime in here as well. Keep in mind as several people said HS or carbide tooling will cost you a pretty penny. What hasnt been mentioned is all the other things such as (Brown and Sharps) dial indicators, depth gauges, good micrometer, chamber reamers...

    Suppressors Is this a joke?

    Re: Is this a joke? I think you are right ddd. I will update with more pics when I get back on Monday. The aluminum tubing was not contoured or turned, it appears to just be rough aluminum tubing from the local farm and home store.

    Suppressors Is this a joke?

    Re: Is this a joke? Yes same company, it is stamped QuickSilver Manufacturing QSMS. I havent dealt with them before so I dont know their typical quality but this one definately isn't their best showing.

    Suppressors Is this a joke?

    I received a supressor on form 3 today for a customer that another local dealer referred to me. The customer said he had purchased a supressor and asked if I would do the transfer for him. The supressor came in today on form 3. I opened the box to log it in and couldn't help but think this was a...

    Suppressors Form 3 Transfers

    Re: Form 3 Transfers It seems hit or miss. I had one that just took 2.5 weeks. Another that took 3 weeks. I just got 6 cans in on form3 that took 6 weeks, and I just had one shipped today that was 14 days.

    Re: Is Schmidt & Bender PM II 5-25x true 5-25X? Anal=collector collector=safe queen safe queen=not using for intended purpose Those of us that own S&B's love them and dont give a shit. Take them out and shoot it. Go to a few matches and engage targets from 5 to 1200 yards. I'm pretty certain...

    Suppressors "Jailbreaking" a sealed suppressor

    Re: "Jailbreaking" a sealed suppressor Agreed 346 .22 cans need to be cleaned regularly. I misread the post and was referring to center fire cans which I have yet to see a need to clean. .22 cans need to be cleaned regularly. I have had good results cleaning my own .22 cans that do not...

    Suppressors "Jailbreaking" a sealed suppressor

    Re: "Jailbreaking" a sealed suppressor Have you tried cleaning your can yourself? You can use hydrogen peroxide and plug one end and let it soak. Do this several times letting it soak for 2 hours or so each time. Why do you feel that your can needs cleaning? Are you having problems with it? I...

    Gunsmithing Barrel fouling/pressure problems

    Re: Barrel fouling/pressure problems I am using 4350 and your guess about powder or copper fouling was my first guess as well but after looking at it through a bore scope that is not the case. At this point another barrel is pretty much going to happen but it still doesnt explain what is...

    Gunsmithing Barrel fouling/pressure problems

    Re: Barrel fouling/pressure problems Update reduced load by another grain today. It took longer for the pressure signs on the case head to appear but after 36 rounds the pressure showed up on the case head where the ejector was. It took longer with a lighter load to show up but severity is...

    Gunsmithing Barrel fouling/pressure problems

    Re: Barrel fouling/pressure problems Its not too hot, I ran several strings with this load earlier in the week and no signs of pressure. I also ran .6 grains hotter than this load and still no real pressure signs. Dropping it a full grain and using fireformed brass was just another step to...

    Gunsmithing Barrel fouling/pressure problems

    I am hoping maybe someone has seen this before and can add some insight. Rebarreled my 6.5 creedmoor and did standard break in process for first 50 rounds. I did a ladder test to find node for this barrel. After finding node I ran 50 rounds through it without a problem. No pressure signs and...

    Gunsmithing barrel tenon

    Re: barrel tenon Sounds like the theory of right hand twist will keep a barrel tight and not loosen it is not true. Looks like the only real option is to thread and chamber like a normal build and carry my bench vise and action wrench with me. I was really hoping for another option. Seems...

    Gunsmithing barrel tenon

    Re: barrel tenon Randall, I normally thread the barrel tenon for the action to get the best fit I can. I just wasnt sure what other options were out there. Researching this I have read lots of different things from people doing different approaches and hand tightening to lightly snug and just...

    Gunsmithing barrel tenon

    I am ready to spin my barrel for a switch barrel I am building. I have researched this as much as I can and have found many different opinions. I would like to hear how anyone is doing this. For example spring loaded tenon, normal tenon, hand tight vs bench vise. Anything else that will help...

    beating a dead horse... Bushy 1600ARC or PLRF-05

    Re: beating a dead horse... Bushy 1600ARC or PLRF-05 I saw that coming pwc, were you able to range 1 MOA targets at any range?

    beating a dead horse... Bushy 1600ARC or PLRF-05

    I know these have both been reviewed to death. What I am trying to find out is how good are the Bushnell 1600 ARC is at ranging 1 MOA or smaller steel out to 1200. If I hear one response with I have ranged a barn at 1800 your going to wake up to a pile of flaming dog pooo on your front porch. I...
