    Gunsmithing carbon ring in chamber/troat area?

    Re: carbon ring in chamber/troat area? Get some of the Shooter's Choice black powder gel. Put some of the gel up into the throat and let it soak overnight. Scrub it out with an oversize brush. If it's the big rock mountain carbon ring you may have to repeat.

    Gunsmithing Bedding/epoxy for hard plastic

    Re: Bedding/epoxy for hard plastic As was mentioned above, epoxy (or any other adhesive) will not adhere to plastic stocks. You can make holes for 'mechanical locks' but what you are in effect making is a bunch of little hinges. The stocks will still flex in a variable fashion. These stocks...

    Re: ***AICS feeding problems, please help! Match soon! The Rem 700 has an 1/8" lip that protrudes into the magwell of the AICS (it also does with the Badger DBM). The interior front of the AI mag (with the front plate) pretty much lines up with the edge of the action. If the plate has been...

    Gracey trimmer

    Re: Gracey trimmer I have a Gracey and like it a lot. But it is a pain in the butt to adjust the cutting blade for different calibers. There are two blades and there is an art to moving them just right. Kind of like taking-down a Ruger 22 auto. Once you get good at it it's no big deal but you...

    Gunsmithing Picatinny 20 MOA one piece Base ?

    Re: Picatinny 20 MOA one piece Base ? Bishop, It's not the quality of the base that matters, it's the variance that is inevitable in Remington receivers. EGW, Night Force, Badger, et. al. make quality bases that are true. The Remington receivers will exhibit variable degrees of 'waviness.'...
