    Best balance type scale

    Re: Best balance type scale If you can find an old pacific that has a resevoir for oil to dampen the pointer they're great and if you like watching stuff bounce around all day you can leave it dry and it will be as finiky as you please.

    Gunsmithing Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint

    Re: Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint I'm not sure I got the point of your last post It's probably my fault, maybe my point wasn't to clear either I was merely pointing out that there were in fact several thousand "field rifles" out there like that. Something that may or may not contribute to...

    Gunsmithing Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint

    Re: Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint wnroscoe, O.k. but the nuts on a savage do run 1.3"ish so if a guy put a 1.35 section on a barrel say an inch in length it would look a whole lot like that. (A savage nut)I'll let you know I just got word back from hart they're doing it in a #5 1-8 .284 for me.

    Gunsmithing Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint

    Re: Barrel-Reciever Threaded Joint I've barreled less then 20 actions on my own lathe so I'm far from an expert, It seems to me that the perfect headspace made possible by their nut system may have more real world effect on accuracy then a opposing force that bears on the receiver front...
