    Gunsmithing Reamer for 175 FGMM

    I did the same while I wait on the one I specd out to be made. Chambered a rifle with it yesterday. Will report back how it does.

    Gunsmithing Remage bbl 6.5 CM closes on both go and no go. Professional advice?

    Chamber reamer may have been inserted too far into barrel. One option to determine how much headspace you actually have is to take your go gage and get some cellophane tape and add a piece to the ass end and trim the outside of it to math the head of the go gage. The tape should measure right at...

    Gunsmithing Tempest - Manners mini-chassis no mags work!

    Could you possibly take .020" or so off the mag catch to alleviate the issue?

    source is triggertech. unknown eta. I sure hope they can pull off a two stage that has their signature break on the second stage. I can promise you all my rifles will have em if they pull it off

    someone else's. I like that idea. That alleviates the issue I'm talking about.

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    Can you expound on that in detail as to why? What design features make it crap? I agree just curious as to your reasoning. A buddy and well known and respected gunsmith on this forum brought up an excellent point this morning. The surefire is a compensated brake. Stands to reason the ports allow...

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    then I would think something as minor as adding or removing a thread protector would cause big changes, it didn't. I could understand if we were talking 1/4 moa to 3/8 moa accuracy but were talking about 1/4 to 1-1/2 moa. One of the guys that taught me is a bench rest smith and shooter and has...

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    neither has any other rifle I've put it on with varying barrel lengths. "Maybe your barrel just doesn't like it" is no help, gives no explanation as to what could be the issue. I don't see how two brakes less than an ounce difference could account for a 1.25 moa difference in group size. How...

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    then why would a very closely weighted brake of a different design give such different results?

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    Because I dialed in the threads of the muzzle concentric to the bore and I made sure that there was at least .020" overbore in the brake vs bullet diameter and I cleaned up bore concentricity to be aligned with the barrel bore. yeah I've read the article by Roy Bertalotto and know what you're...

    Gunsmithing Intricacies of muzzle brakes

    Can anyone explain to me as to why when there's a large gap between a muzzle crown and the first port of the brake why the accuracy of the rifle can be reduced? I noticed on the surefire brakes accuracy was less than stellar, took the brake off and put on a quality brake and accuracy went right...

    Understand what you mean. Wasn't thinking about you wanting to do a quick barrel change system.

    Curtis Custom Axiom Action???

    bolt stop is supported by action body not a small pinnlike some designs. Bolt closing is smooth too. Why not use the factory lug for a switch barrel set up?
