    Gunsmithing Bushing firing pin

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Greg and Chad do great work too but I'm currently not building rifles so I don't have to fit bolt work in around other bigger projects so my turnaround time is much faster--usually less than a week. So if you need a bolt bushed, or an extractor installed/bolt...

    Gunsmithing Bushing firing pin

    I bush a lot of firing pins. I use alloy screws with 170KSI yield strength. Never had a bushing job fail. Like others that do this, I don't share the details. I have repaired failed bushings done by others. If my bushing covers the old attempt, no extra charge. If I have to use an extra...

    Used it. thanks. PS. I see some had problems with it. I think it is case sensitive. Didn't work when I typed it in. Worked when I copied and pasted.

    Nra email about yeti coolers

    I think everyone willing to spend 5x what the cooler is worth for name recognition now has one. They're about done, can't afford to give NRA money or product for sponsorship, and are looking for a market with the liberal left. I predict bankruptcy in 12 months.

    Gunsmithing .308 Winchester to 6.5 Creedmoor rebarreling, need some guidance please.

    The primer size makes no difference to the rebarrel. The bolt is the same. Cratering/pierced primers happen with large primers and small primers. I bush every bolt for all cartridges. This eliminates the problem. But it does not change anything on your rebarrel. However, you need to pick a...

    Gunsmithing 700SA .378 bolt face...firing pin size?

    Most modern cartridges will crater with the traditional .075" firing pin. It's just physics. As pressure goes up, firing pin diameter has to go down. Latel I do more firing pin bushing than any other job. Simple quick fix. $80. I've never seen cratering after bushing a firing pin to .062. I...

    Gunsmithing Broke bolt handle...

    A new PTG handle is easy to install. The added benefit it that a good smith will also adjust the extraction timing. I would use a good local smith if you have one. They will have to have your action to adjust timing. They won't have to take it off the barrel. Handles break when you have to...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote on Lugs

    I recently had to remove a few .001 off the back of a replacement bolt that had been cerakoted to adjust headspace on a replaced bolt to match multiple barrels. The cerakote was .001" or so. Wouldn't affect headspace unless you were at the extreme tight limit. Realize, there is .004" between...

    Gunsmithing Cutting an 11 degree target crown?

    As Walt said above, the tool works well if you aren't putting the barrel in the lathe for some other work. Setting a barrel up in the lathe correctly can take quite a while, depending on your setup. So this tool would definitely save time if you're not doing any other lathe work to the muzzle...

    Loads for 6.5 SAUM 4S

    Having trouble finding load data for long freebore setup. I'm building a 4s in a long action for shooting mostly single shot. Freebore is currently about .175 but I'm thinking of lengthening it more to around .200 to shoot 140 hybrids. Anybody shooting this setup? I'm thinking the coal...

    Questions on a custom .260 Build

    Why such a light barrel? For 1000 yds most would use a med-heavy palma or heavy varmint profile. I have a Brux barrel in 6mmBR that I am quite happy with. My favorite "economy" scope is the signtron 10-50x 60 with the LRMOA reticle allowing hold overs in winds rather than having to enter...
