    Diagnose my failures to fire - Rem700 *SOLVED*

    I did not read through the comments so if this is redundant, apologies. I'm assuming you've had this action for a while and this problem is just now presenting itself. One thing to note is the change in weather. If you are up north, you might take a look at your fire control assembly. Some...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    That's news to me, lol. I wish. We have quite a bit here, but that isn't one of them.

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I'd be willing to give this a go. The addy on the shop website will get the parts here. I'll need everything as I'll have to go through and model the parts and build an assembly in Solid Works. C.

    Bottom side work. Finished piece: I bought this optic not considering the base we make. The glass is so short/fat that it creates a problem. Trimming the base wasn't something I was enthusiastic about just because the corner radius features would be a bugger to try and redo and...

    This one is a present for someone close to me. As a teen, I spent my summers working on a big grain farm in North Dakota. The owner is more of a Dad to me than mine ever was. He has a birthday coming up and I felt the urge to try and say thank you. I chambered it in 6.5mm Creed. It works...

    300 NMI questions

    We've more or less become a conduit to K/P. I buy so much from Kenny anymore that he's just kind of defacto resorted to us for orders. It's nothing official though. The tempo is about 3 weeks for anything off the grid. Just give us a call and we'll get you fixed up.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Jumping back into this a bit this morning as material for the bases finally arrived last Wednesday. This stuff was ordered 9.26.2023. -Not sure what that was all about as its just cold finish flat bar stock. Whatever... Ok, I've reviewed the notes here and I've chatted with Ryan a bit...

    Does my gunsmith suck?

    Look up either an 82 or 90 degree multi flute countersink. Machine tool vendors sell them. My guess is that work was done either with a cordless drill or a tail stock that has a bunch of backlash on the feed screw. -Your muzzle got to star in its own snuff film because of it. Notice how...

    Horse Power, Track Shit, Torque, Cubic Inches, Liters, Run What Ya Brung, Auto or Cycle

    I'm likely the worst person to ask on this as I tend to follow the "use new parts, but build it like it has 100K+ miles on it rule." Case in point: 2 seasons ago I took an iron 5.3 truck block and filled the water jacket with concrete. We punched it +.03", gapped the rings like a pair of...

    Thoughts on this please

    OP, If you want a 338LM it'll do everything you want, but you are going to throw cubic money at whatever target it's pointed at. As many have stated, there are more affordable ways to have some fun at longer distances. The bigger problem you'll run into is the Remington M700 action as it's...

    BO2013 Mars rail. (meh?)

    I'd need an action to adapt it to. I don't think it'd take much.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    I had a rush order on some belt fed stuff and I had to get this thing made as well. -A MARS rail for a Badger 2013 action. Wierd, but kinda cool at the same time. (I guess, lol) My saw blades finally arrived. Soon as I'm able to set this back up, I'll post up some progress photos.

    BO2013 Mars rail. (meh?)

    The odds of me ever making another one of these is likely zilch. It was fun to design and program so all is good. This has 20moa built into it as well. I have a mess of legit zero moa MARS rails so I skipped making the side mount base pieces.

    Gunsmithing Where to find a broken shell extractor for odd calibers?

    When I ran around Iraq it was pretty common for the soviet stuff we had to sneeze a case. Ham cans of ammo buried in the desert for decades at a time has a shelf life. (who'd of thought? lol) Tools were never in good supply so I had to get creative. Thankfully, cleaning supplies were...

    Gunsmithing Removing engraving, Stainless Colt Commander

    FWIW: On more than one occassion I've been asked to unring a bell with a TIG welder. If the piece is going to be coated with something like CK afterwards, my go to is silicon bronze as I don't need to get the substrate to its melting point for it to stick. (I call the stuff "machinists bondo"...
