    Gunsmithing rem bolt stop....the side jobby

    Re: rem bolt stop....the side jobby pacific tool and gauge, but it doesn't include any instructions (back when I ordered some you even had to get your own pins and springs, but that may have changed since I think they're now on the website as a regularly available item.)

    Gunsmithing M4 Bolt and/or Carrier ordnance print

    Does anyone have or know where to find a milspec ordnance print of an M4 bolt and/or carrier? The closest thing I've found is a solid works model of the BCG but I really need a measured drawing and I have no idea if the model is actually to spec or just an "artist's impression." If there are...

    Top Shot on the History Channel

    Gunsmithing problem with m16 extractor ptg bolt

    Re: problem with m16 extractor ptg bolt I was told by PTG (who made 1 bolt) , Surgeon (who made another), and Badger (who makes the things) to open up to .785 when using an M16 extractor. Two 7 WSMs in a row now didn't want to run that way. .785 wasn't enough counterbore to get around the...

    for those who neck turn

    Re: for those who neck turn Not sure you want to size with a bushing die prior to neck turning. Doing so pushes the variance from the OD to the ID. Better to use something with a button that will make the ID consistent and let you turn off the variance from the OD. If your mandrel is...

    Re: Belt Grinder Found it: http://www.vansantent.com/Vendor_pages/Multitool_Grinders.htm I've got the 2x48, mostly because that was the easiest size for me to find belts for. Money well spent.
