    Gunsmithing Applying proper Torque with a Strap Wrench

    Take a strip of emery cloth long enough to go around the nut twice. Fold it in half backwards, abrasive side out.

    Gunsmithing Grizzly Gunsmith D1-5 Back Plate

    Gunsmithing Finally!!

    You guys get nervous about that? Wait until you sink a counter bore for a sling swivel in a $30K Chapuis double rifle. That'll give you some pucker.

    Gunsmithing chambering with a collet chuck?

    While your collet may have near zero runout the barrel may very well not. What the OD is doing is irrelevant. Use the 4 jaw gimble ring setup described above.

    Gunsmithing Level action to stock in glass bedding?
