    Hard to Find Tikka CTR 24"

    I was added to a few e-mail lists for a 24" CTR in 6.5CM. I ended up finding one a few months later, and now one seller has a few. Just thought I'd share. I've never done business with these folks...........just letting you all know that in advance! I paid over a grand for mine.....this is a...

    WTB-WTT Tikka Stock Chassis

    I have a safe queen MDT HS3 chassis for Tikka T3 in black. Looking to trade in to a traditional stock. Have an optional adjustable Magpul PRS Gen 2 that can include. This is an excellent setup, I’m just looking for something more traditional for shooting on a bench.

    Gunsmithing Sticky Freebore??

    This sounds like the direction to go. Will follow up with smith tomorrow and see what he suggests. I can see this getting missed with a go gauge. How would a smith catch this condition before calling a build good? Setting headspace is one thing, verifying a clean leade is another animal...

    Gunsmithing Sticky Freebore??

    I understand the throat will erode with firing, but if the lead is that much out of spec, would trying to wait until it's "fired" out be an option, I just don't see it? I can run Berger 130 OTM's seated back with enough bearing above neck rim to make it work. But that just pisses me off as I...

    Gunsmithing TL3 bolt cross pin slip.

    I've used the seat/chamber method. I can do the same job in one step with a properly fit neck. If you jam it you're reaching for the air hose to blow the bullet back out. I primarily use this method because I check seating depth in the house on my ole lady's dining room table. Really pisses her...

    Gunsmithing Sticky Freebore??

    I used virgin brass....and I know where you’re going. I remove my firing pin and hand feed many cases before I load to verify head space. Now, Just my personal experience, but I’ve never seen 0 headspace cause a pressure spike. I keep hearing people say they do, but I have many rifles I can...

    Gunsmithing Sticky Freebore??

    Not carbon ring. You could eat sushi off of this surface. I scrub my bores with serious OCD. I shoot F/TR primarily, and 600 and 1,000 are my specialty. I’m leaning toward a dull reamer. Don’t want to dump on smith, gonna give him a chance to make it right. It would be different if I were...

    Gunsmithing Sticky Freebore??

    I recently acquired a rifle chambered in 6.5cm. From overall condition, and based on borescope and overall visual inspection, I would have to assume this rig was not run hard and put up dirty. Anyway, I went thru my usual load workup, and as I was getting my bto for seat depth, I encountered...

    what's going on here?

    I agree with USAFA. From my experience, you only want .002” to .003” of neck tension. I use a bushing die, which gives me more control over my tension.

    Gunsmithing TL3 bolt cross pin slip.

    As I am prone to do, I pulled the firing pin on my TL3 to hand fit/seat a new bullet in my 6.5cm. I use a makeshift Lapua sized/neck slit cut instead of an oversized mandrel. Anyway, on my 3rd attempt to close the bolt on my case/bullet, I hit a wall! Went to pull bolt out...another wall! Turns...
