    First Custom Build, but there's a problem?

    SPEAK338: I am only repeating what Jim Ruiz told me on the phone when we had the conversation regarding fluting my barrel. He did not hesitate to tell me about a shop he sends barrels to for "water jet fluting". I personally know very little about the process, and have never witnessed a water...

    First Custom Build, but there's a problem?

    Here's a quote straight from the boys over at "flowwaterjet.com". Looks like depth of cut can be achieved with the speed of the pass. Anyway, here's the quote: "Ask Dr. Hashish Inventor of the Abrasive Waterjet At Flow in 1979, Dr. Mohamed Hashish invented the abrasive waterjet. Today, he...

    First Custom Build, but there's a problem?

    I don't know who does water jet fluting for Predator Custom, but Jim sublets the work to a shop in Knoxville. As for my bolt release, turns out the front trigger housing pin was too long. Took me a while to figure it out. I would tap the pin out of the way, freeing up the bolt release lever. But...

    Muzzle brake thread size

    How much does that barrel weigh? I have a bull barrel on my 10/22 custom and it's stupid heavy. Anyway, if you don't want to pay to have it cut, that size is very common among the 10/22 bulls. My point is you can buy a "pin on" brake. I bought one that sleeved perfectly on to my .930 barrel, and...

    my first full bolt gun build, where to start?

    I just completed a custom build. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't have the funds to get exactly what you want, save up. It's better to spend the extra on the best components you can find rather than build something inferior only to regret not having done it the way you should have in the...

    First Custom Build, but there's a problem?

    According to Jim Ruiz it has. He says he doesn't trust traditional milling, too many factors that can affect performance. I will say this, the edges of the flutes are sharp enough to cut skin!

    First Custom Build, but there's a problem?

    Well shooters, I finally broke down and put together my first custom bolt gun. I bought all of the components and let Jim Ruiz and the team at Predator Custom do the Smithing. I picked her up Saturday, and am totally impressed! There is one issue however, the bolt release button isn't working...

    Rifle Scopes Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly

    Re: Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly I understand the measurements, but I don't have the luxury. I have my 40X short action at Predator Custom getting it built. I'm going to mount my 8x32x50 Burris Black Diamond on this rig. I bought a one piece steel base from Ken Farrell, and the...
