    Zermatt TL3 to a muzzle loader (list on #162)

    Still trying to figure out if I can get a palin barrel blank on this group buy, I would to do my own barrel installs. I could get a cut-rifled blank for this build but if there are a bunch of guns sporting these barrels there will be a lot of info on loads for these barrels that might not map...

    Zermatt TL3 to a muzzle loader (list on #162)

    Is it possible to get a bare blank on this group buy? I do my own work and will be using a Howa 1500 for the build and if I got a unmachined blank I wouldn't have to send the action. I would like to get in on the group buy to save some money. Thanks wade

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool & Gauge SUCKS!!!

    I ordered a long action two piece bolt about 2 months ago and received it in about a month. A few weeks back I ordered one of their economy reamers (no-custom 9.3x62) and received it yesterday. I went with the economy because I will probably only cut one barrel with it, looking at it the only...

    Mack Bro’s SS Evo

    I will happily buy one EVO action, for what you paid for it, from anyone who is not happy with the prefit situation.

    Night Vision SWIR vs LWIR

    From one of the pros in the business (Sensors Unlimited). I am surprised these are ITAR free, I wonder who manufactures the imager inside the "box". ITAR regs were put in place inappropriately on firearm stuff but are very important on technology that could move someone forward on night...

    700 style safety question

    I have a 3-position safety I bought from PT&G on the only non-Mauser or Win 70 I use for hunting. I prefer the 3-position on my hunting guns because they lock the firing pin back, when you think about how many hours you rely on your safety when hunting a positive lock up of the firing sounds...

    Firearms Wanted: Interarms Mark X barreled action

    Lots of Zastavas, the manufacture of the Mark X actions, rifles and some bare actions for sale on Gunbroker. The same rifles, with some cosmetic differences were imported and marketed by Charles Daly, Rem 798's and currently Zastava M70. Going rate for used complete rifles is around $350-375...

    Night Vision SWIR vs LWIR

    Another great feature of 1500 nm illuminators, designators, LRF, etc is that the human eye filters out out 1500 nm much better than other bands commonly used. The eye safe power of 1500 nm is much greater than that of 805 nm at the same ranges, so the range of 1500 nm can be longer and still...

    Night Vision SWIR vs LWIR

    SWIR has some great features one of the less enjoyable features is price which is high. I tried to get one of the IR imaging houses into making SWIR imagers for field work and they declined as the numbers we needed was not enough to drive a new design. At the time they made SWIR imaging...

    Gunsmithing Should I let a newish gunsmith Chamber a barrel for me.

    An upcharge of $180 for a standard shouldered barrel over a remage seems a little stout unless he is having X-Caliber do the remage barrel and he just does the install. The machining for either is pretty similar I assume he would indicate the blank the blank the same regardless of what route he...

    Gunsmithing What is PTG's "Economy" Pilot?

    I ordered an economy piloted reamer from PT&G for my 9.3 x 62 build, I was going to rent a reamer at about $45 plus return shipping I figured for the difference I would just order the at $80. I only build rifles for myself and I doubt I will do more than one barrel in 9.2 x 63 so I figured it...

    Zermatt TL3 to a muzzle loader (list on #162)

    Are you going to sell blanks in the group buy? I ask because I have a Howa 1500 action sitting on the shelf waiting for this conversion.

    Help...Parker-Hale .270

    I have one Mauser 98, commercial or military, that when rebarreled will not shoot 1 MOA, the rest will post groups less than 1 MOA but rarely less than 1/2 MOA The one 98 that I cannot shoot groups less than 1 MOA it is a 416 Taylor and is a real bastard to shoot due to recoil. A better man...

    Help...Parker-Hale .270

    You probably got a good deal at $200. If you desire a highly precise shooting rifle I would put that rifle on the shelf and start with a modern action. A modern action will give you quite a few features that lend themselves to better accuracy than the venerable Mauser 98. Another plus with a...

    Help...Parker-Hale .270

    If you fall down the Mauser rabbit look for JC Higgins model 50 or 51 in gun stores, the actions are commercial Muaser 98s made by FN they were imported by Sears and assembled by High Standard here in the US. The FN actions are great and bearing the Sears trade name sometimes do not command a...

    Help...Parker-Hale .270

    y guess is a 1100 or 1200 as they both are built off of Mauser 98 at least that is what it looks like from the images on the web. I only have one PH and I bought it for the action it was in the ugliest plastic stock I have ever seen, I could not get the stock off and in the trash fast enough in...

    Help...Parker-Hale .270

    That Parker Hale is built on a commercial Mauser 98 action, a pretty sound hunting gun should shoot minute of deer without any problems, all of my hunting guns are built off of Mauser 98 for a number of reasons I have gone through on a number of posts here on the 'Hide. 270 Win is pretty...
