    Gunsmithing Firing Pin Releases When Bolt Closes

    Re: Firing Pin Releases When Bolt Closes Either the firing pin dumeflature isn't hanging down low enough or the trigger whatzit bar isn't sticking up high enough. BUT, it's more likely that you've got your sear engagement dialed back so low that it won't always catch. If you monkeyed with...

    unknown powder

    Re: unknown powder Save it for New Years Eve, pour it in a shallow pile, pour a trail to the pile, wait for dark. Flick a match at the trail and begin singing, "Auld Lang Syne"....

    Gunsmithing Mill with 3 phase power?

    Re: Mill with 3 phase power? RTO is certainly right in all regards, but just be aware that you'll loose about 1/3 your power by going with a static. That might not be a big deal for you, wanting to turn smaller end-mills. It is cheap, and is certainly fast.

    Gunsmithing Mill with 3 phase power?

    Re: Mill with 3 phase power? You can make a rotary phase converter. It's not hard. There are ample diagrams on the internet on how to make them, but here is the principle: Power 2 legs of a spare 3 phase motor, then briefly shoot voltage from one of the existing input voltage legs into the...

    Help me diagnose my grouping problem

    Re: Help me diagnose my grouping problem My Friend, Have patience with yourself. Your path is long, marked with significant reward and frustration. Enjoy the process, for it is both your "dues" and your "crown". Good shooting is only the by-product of the path you take. Be absolutely...

    Rifle Scopes M1A base

    Evening, I looked for prior posts about this, as I'm sure it's well covered territory. I've got an older Weaver T-10 that I want to mount on an M1A. I don't necessarily need "period correct", like the USMC mount for this configuration. I'm looking for something sturdy that I'll be happy...

    Gunsmithing Starter lathe or mill on Amazon?

    Re: Starter lathe or mill on Amazon? I was in this same quandry back a few years ago. I was looking into a PM or Grizzly too, but then I had a poke into the used market. I wound up getting a nice 16 inch Southbend and a 9x42 Bridgeport...and a bunch of tooling for a super low price. Dial...

    Powder recommendations for 308 win

    Re: Powder recommendations for 308 win I have shot both CFE223 and Power Pro 2000 MR against Reloader 15 and Varget in the 168 grain .308 load. The temperature insensitivity of those two new powders really is quite good. Many people are finding superb accuracy with these two new powders...

    Hornady or Hodgon load Data???

    Re: Hornady or Hodgon load Data??? Any manufacturer will tell you that different bullet lots, different case lots, different powder lots, different primer lots, and different barrels will ALL cause different results. Thus, you can't just step right up to the plate and load "max" charge...

    Is this acceptable?

    Re: Is this acceptable? Please don't be concered with 0.007" (seven thousandths of an inch). Dynamic balance of the bullet is far more important than this minor change in bearing surface. Go shoot them and enjoy.

    223 Rem vs 5.56 Nato

    Re: 223 Rem vs 5.56 Nato Clark, No offense, but there are a few too many assumptions built into your statements. The method of measuring pressures between the two DIFFERENT cartridges AND the leade geometry AND the case length specifications and tolerances prevents a 1-for-1...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns IWB holster for G19

    Re: IWB holster for G19 I've got the Galco NSA 2. Wear it strong side, IWB, just behind the hip. You could also wear it SOB (small of back). I'll venture that you MIGHT have some room there??? Awesome concealability, comfortable, stylish and secure.
