    Good morning, animals. I had the evening to think about how to attack this. This morning I moved the collet work holding to my big 4axis. This will allow the ring to be faced on each side and poke the hole where the scope gets the "smoosh,-smoosh." The best part is the hole won't have any...

    A little update folks. Ryan has been fussing at me to get off my arse on this. I've started here. This is Op1 on the rings. Looks more like a doorknob presently, but that'll change once I slab it in the mill. I just threw it on the comparator for a quick inspection. All of the arcs are...

    Gunsmithing Custom Stock/Gun Project

    You'll be fine if your wood has been allowed to wring out to around 5-8 percent moisture and you put a good finish on it. Pillar bed it so that the screws don't squish between the action and floormetal and send it. Good luck on your project.

    Gunsmithing 5x stock inletting.

    "Fitty Kal" stuff: Right after bedding: Post bedding inlet work. Dern trigger guard screws are too short. Nobody in town has anything even close so....fire up a spindle and make some. Rotary broach for the allen key socket: Warming up some park solution with an induction coil...

    Gunsmithing 5x stock inletting.

    This is all client-supplied stuff and no paintwork on the exterior, so it is what it is. On the first gun, it's a 300WM plopped into a "railroad tie" sized stock so its not surprising at all that the tang is buried a bit. When I encounter this I finish the tang the same way I do on a Palma...

    Gunsmithing RPR action wrench

    Earlier this year I purchased a power feed, rotary welding table. With it, we were finally able to use my wire feed MIG welder to assemble the tools. Prior pieces were always TIG welded by hand. (my hands, lol) Never had a TIG weld fail until earlier this summer when someone put a 4' long...

    9.20.2023: I have an update regarding the failure of our tools. A gent in NV suffered a recent failure and emailed us about it. After looking closely at the photo, he was doing everything correctly. He took the rifle to a local shop, and their attempts to remove it also failed. They...

    Unfortunately, Direct Injection, for now anyway, is not an end-all solution when reaching the stars on power. It's a bit application-specific. For a normally aspirated or low psi boost condition, typical daily driver type vehicle, the way it stands, there's a ceiling regarding the ultimate...
