    Gunsmithing Bench top drill press

    Re: Bench top drill press Gotta be one around used locally for not much. I have a 10 year old Delta that has paid for itself many times over (cost $100), and bet it hasn't been used for more than an hour total...nothing special & works like a champ. I use Forstner bits when I want a really...

    Gunsmithing pix before/ after bushing bolt & pin, $ correction

    Re: pix before/ after bushing bolt & pin, $ correction I spoke w/ Greg & he said the pin tip is .068". The new, smaller pin & hole cause primer to fire hotter, thus the 2" higher group. Think the bushing captures the pin when it travels forward, so that it travels in a straight line. Less...

    Worst job you ever had thread

    Re: Worst job you ever had thread Mopping ....ah, a great read. I worked at a lamp making factory in NC age 16 ($1.20/hr?) a summer job and there was a maybe 250-500 gal drum of seriously high VOC finish in it. In a windowless room maybe 10 X10'. of course it leaked and my bosses sent my...

    Rifle Scopes Lap Badger rings?

    Re: Lap Badger rings? Check out Farrell rings- they are beautifully machined, with a relieved contact area where the scope contacts the base. I have taken off several NF Benchrest scopes (kinda med gloss-shows scratches) from these rings and you could see NO marks-like new. Big honking torx...

    Re: bush firing pin to end cratered primers-worth Ah, thanks all. 1st, no slight intended for seller of the rifle. I did pull the bullets, change powder type , switched to BR-2 primers & used a slightly different lighter bullet + group size was about 1/2 of previous original load. A huge...

    Gunsmithing bush firing pin to end cratered primers-worth it?

    I have a new to me (used) rifle. Built on trued Rem 700 action, good components, little use. It came with seller's loaded ammo. All fired brass that came with it has cratered primers. I have plenty of rifles and have never seen a primer that looks like this. It seems as though it should shoot...

    Re: Tobacco Sales 1936-37 That is great to see. My grandparents in North Carolina built a general store on their farm in the front yard to get by 1933-40- something- closed it in the 60's and left alot of merchandise (memorabilia) in it. I found a great B &W photo of my uncle on Tinian in...

    Which bipod?

    Re: Which bipod? jetmd, check this one out, I just got one & it is very sturdy. It supports my heavy barrel rifle much better than the Harris-I have both the notched & screw-tighten. Sinclair has less flex than any bipod I have used. 1.5 lbs, but does the job. Easy to use/adjust from...

    Anyone ever had a Sako that wouldn't shoot?

    Re: Anyone ever had a Sako that wouldn't shoot? My first centerfire rifle was a .22-250 mod 75. A friend told me about his new Sako .270. He shot a lot of deer with it. From a long way off... So I got one-I shoot varmints, so a 22-250 HB w / wood stock. It shoots better each year. I...

    can i get some opinions !!!

    Re: can i get some opinions !!! I have Nikon Monarchs and NF Benchrest & NXS scopes. There really is a difference & reason for the cost differential. NF's are all illuminated, etched reticles, very sturdy, great eye relief/less blackout, much better choices of reticles than Nikon, 30mm tube...
