    So you think you can shoot?

    We had 17 shooters. First 3 targets were fun shoot & last 3 were custom guns. I won the second half. It helped ease the pain a little since I was low on the first 3. Second 3 I was using my homemade Martini with the same ammo. First target was a 2150. I have never seen a martini hate ammo like...

    So you think you can shoot?

    Landy; You should have come to Lincoln sunday and shot in the rain with us. I learned just how bad a martini international can shoot with ammo it doesn't like. Shot 695 my first target. Still had fun though. Wayne

    I wonder which magazine they use. I notice they call it a clip. Wayne

    dillema on what to do with rimfire rifles...

    I forgot all about the bolt slot. The after market swept back bolt is the same as the factory one. Going either way needs a little tweaking in the slot. Thanks jbell. Wayne

    That would work if the custom 40x action is an exact copy of the original. Action length, diameter and spacing of the action screws. Wayne

    dillema on what to do with rimfire rifles...

    Yes a Rem 40X rimfire will fit in a short action stock but will not accept a factory Rem 700 trigger. The safety is different. It will however accept a jewel trigger with a bottom safety. May have to remove a little metal in the trigger guard slot. To make the factory safety work you would have...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    Chad & JJones; I really do appreciate you guys trying to help. If I were 23 instead of 73 I would be trying your suggestions. Age & funds keep me from changing too much. Probably will order a 5/8 tool holder and a few inserts. I know my tool height is right because I set the height the way you...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    I put rubber pads between the mounting bracket and the lathe and between the bracket and the motor. Sort of double isolating it. That helped a lot. Didn't get rid of the vibration entirely but good enough for my purposes. Thanks for all the suggestions. Wayne

    I think I finally found the answer. It looks like post counts without links.

    What is required to be a full member? Is it number of posts or length of time or some combination of the two?. Wayne

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    I just received my Rem 40X repeater conversion back from TS Customs. I had it creakoted a dark tan. I know it would look better in a Manners stock but had this one available with Badger M5 cutout so that is what I used. Had to go to the range and try it out Looks like it will be a shooter if I...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    The bad news this morning. I removed the belts and the motor sheave and can still feel vibration in the cross slide and bed ways. This is with isolation pads between the lathe and motor bracket. Checking now on motors available. Near as I can see now there is no frame size listed on the motor...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    Tac284; I had to smile when I read your comment about the backsplash because I had to remove mine to get to the motor bracket. My lathe too still vibrates just as bad without it installed. I would be interested in your motor information. I was going to start my search with Grainger and expand...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    ridgeway; I'm not ignoring your comment about tool chatter but I ruled that out early on because with an empty chuck and no tooling in the tool holder it starts to vibrate as soon as I start the spindle turning. I can feel the vibration in both the cross slide and in the bed ways. The bed ways a...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    I usually don't work with that much overhang on the chuck. I let that much stick out to see if the chatter lines would show. They didn't but I could still feel the vibrations in the bed of the lathe. The motor sheave has uneven wear marks on the inside where the belt runs. The lathe uses two 1/2...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    northern50 & Raven Rifles; Those last two posts were ones I really didn't want to see. This is just a hobby for me and I didn't want to go that deep to fix it. Unfortunately that is what is probably required. I will try that this coming week. Thanks for the replies. Wayne

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    Pictures is the best I can do. When I push down on the red lever to start the spindle I can feel the vibration in the lever and in the slide. Isolating motor bracket from the didn't help. Don't know what to try next. Wayne

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    I am pretty sure it is in the motor mounting since the vibrating is present all the time. It could possibly be in the bearings, but highly unlikely. I have tried both carbide tooling and HHS and both chatter with carbide being worse than the HHS. I will do the isolation first and if that doesn't...

    Gunsmithing Grizzly 0709 spindle chatter

    I want to insulate the motor from the lathe. There is a 3 inch bracket between the motor and the lathe. Do I need to insulate between both sides of the bracket or just one side? If one side, which one? Thanks for any help. Wayne

    removing Rem 700 action

    I tried with aluminum blocks in my Kurt angle lock vise. The barrel still slipped. Bought a real barrel vise and it worked. This is the one I use. Wayne
