    Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

    I Googled it, apparently it's a #12 screw with 24 TPI. Kind of an odd ball screw.

    Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

    Yep, my thoughts exactly. Could tap this receiver out to use a 1/4-20 screw, put it in a wood stock, and put the factory barrel in and have a cheap plinker...

    Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

    I mentioned in my first post that I wasn't sure a Helicoil was a great option for this. I've used them before in other applications, but not on a rifle. Would a helicoil, just basically being a spring holding the action screw, introduce any issues between the action and the chassis that might...

    Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

    He's too cheap for a Kidd receiver (my suggestion). I found a factory receiver he can but for $80, he said he'll probably buy it next weekend, I'm just wondering if salvaging this for his rifle is worth while.

    Stripped out action screw on a 10/22

    A close family member of mine has a Ruger 10/22 that they put a Kidd barrel on and a KRG Bravo on (at my suggestion). I don't know why, but they clean it after every range trip (maybe 50 rounds when they go). I don't know what happened but they stripped out the action screw in the receiver...

    Sizing Wax question

    I lube with imperial die wax, then I resize with a full length die (expander ball removed) then clean the cases again to remove the wax. After that I use a carbide expander mandrel (no lube) and expand the case necks, then I load.

    Does Anyone On SH Own and Shoot A Tikka CTR With The Original Stock On The Gun?

    I used to have the factory stock on mine. Yes, I also had to use an additional riser on it. I used the Triad Tactical one before I switched to a chassis.

    Load Development for M1A

    This might be worth the read: https://www.m14forum.com/threads/the-short-cut-for-load-development.475658/ I also hear 39.5gr of imr3031 with a 168gr SMK is good. Haven't tried it myself though.

    223 prs rifle for 15 yo daughter

    Nothing wrong with a 24" 223 barrel. I shoot 500 yard F-Class with a 24" 223 barrel. Some guys I shoot with think I should rebarrel to a 28", but I'm happy with how my current barrel shoots.

    The M1907 sling, am I the only one still using it?

    1907 sling is my preferred sling. I've shot HP matches in the past and attended Appleseed events and learned how to use them. I have them on several rifles. I'm probably younger than you, in my 30s.

    Once fired 223 AR brass

    I would leave your resizing die setup for your bolt gun and resize the brass from the AR. I do it all the time, never an issue.
