    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Hardi-backer is used for ceramic tile installations. The same material is molded and formed for different applications. I used Hardi-plank siding for my house. It's in 7"x10' pieces. They make other patterns in 4'x8' sheets, 3'x5', etc. Even some...

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) I didn't remember using any of the silicon on the sides. Its all compression fit. I cut the panels a little over sized. I used the box its self for the template. Just laid it down on the board and cut around it. So the finished cut was just a...

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Wow! Taking it to the next level there! I use a piece of hardi board to separate the heating element bracket I made for mine and the bottom layer of insulation. So far the hardiboard is holding up fine. Possibly more brittle than it used to be but...

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) The pics aren't showing up? Anyone else having trouble seeing the pics? I see them and I don't think I moved them on the SkyDrive share to private.

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Thank you sir. The design came from several people here on the Hide and other forums. I just copied what others had done. Maybe through in a little change here and there. Gun cabinet was probably $90 on sale? Insulation was $45-$55 for the...

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven and first test results The oven is holding up great! No problems at all. I did have a barrel fall on one of the elements before I finished a guard but that was my fault for not securing the barrel better. I was in a hurry and just didn't make a good solid loop in...

    Next Project Savage FV-SR

    Re: Next Project Savage FV-SR I have an FFL and didn't buy retail. I ordered the rifle with others and saved a lot on shipping. I think my part for the rifle and shipping was around $240? So it was right at $300 for the pic above. Since then I've bought the trigger guard through Savage...

    Gunsmithing Savage 12 F/TR stock

    Re: Savage 12 F/TR stock Funny thing is, that's the same service I got when I was looking for Savage parts 2 years ago. That's what started me down the road of getting my FFL (done), learning to use a lathe (still learning), and starting to stock parts for Savages. I see a huge market in...

    Gunsmithing Savage 12 F/TR stock

    Re: Savage 12 F/TR stock Check out Jim Briggs at Northlanders, Below is the last contact info I have for him. He often has access to parts that most do not from Savage. I keep some Savage parts in stock but none of their stocks. Another good source is Numrich Gun Parts. They are like a...

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Stock

    Re: HS Precision Stock I've only replaced the pads on a few HS stock and have never seen anything in there that wasn't put there deliberately. Again, only done a few. I'd say its probably not hurting anything so its up to you. Good luck! Mike

    Gunsmithing HS Precision Stock

    Re: HS Precision Stock In the rear or front of the stock? The only thing I can think of is that someone placed a weight in the rear cavity of the stock and used foam to secure it or fill the void? Other than that, I have no idea.

    600 yard target shooting ??

    Re: 600 yard target shooting ?? The only thing I ran into is with Windows 7. It doesn't like the drivers that come with the device. There are drivers available if you do a Google search that work with Windows 7. Seems like it is a common name-brand USB adapter, just doesn't in a package...

    Range Report What a difference a $90 stock can make!!!!

    Re: What a difference a $90 stock can make!!!! I snagged two for myself of the short actions. Sold the stock for $35, so the barrel for $75. Have Savage short action centerfeed for less than $80 each. Best deal ever. My brother-in-law bought the long action version and I just sold his...

    600 yard target shooting ??

    Re: 600 yard target shooting ?? Should have looked first. I only paid .99 for the device plus a little over $5 shipping. Took about 3 weeks to get it but it works great. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270636640113#ht_1864wt_1139

    Mossberg 151M-B what to do?

    Re: Mossberg 151M-B what to do? That looks very nice Teo74. I'm going to try to get the surface as smooth and clean as possible. Going to reshape the back to blend in with the recoil pad. Just little stuff like that. I'm still debating on the color of the stock. I may try a colored...

    Mossberg 151M-B what to do?

    Re: Mossberg 151M-B what to do? Cool, that's what I was hoping to hear. I've only seen them for $125-$200 but those looked in far better condition than this one. Maybe I could get $100 for it now, I figure its worth more than $100 as good learning experience. Perhaps when I'm done, it...

    Mossberg 151M-B what to do?

    Not sure if this belongs here or in the gunsmith forum but here it goes: I've recently received a Mossberg 151M-B in fairly rough shape. I've already replaced a broken firing pin and main spring and now its shooting nicely. My question concerns the rifle's value? Is it better to leave it...
