    Since everyone else seems to be confused about gender, why not? GM 6.2L DI heads converted to fit a Ford Windsor block. This project is being campaigned by a friend who owns a race engine company in Vermont. (Josh Munson, Green Mountain Gearheads) It started a year or so ago when he plopped...

    Gunsmithing Well it’s stuck in the bedding

    OP: -Gonna try and help. If this is redundant, my apologies. I did not read through every response. Reference the circled area in the photo I copied from you, and pay close attention to the surface finish of the substrate (rifle stock). It appears as though nothing was ever there, and that...

    Hensoldt Spotter 60 accessory rail question.

    Just an FYI, gents. The last pair of these sold today. I've pulled it from the store as we've not had any traffic on these for a while. If it ever becomes a "mass feeding" type piece again, we'll revisit it. Thank you again! C.

    Gunsmithing Bedding Manners Stock Questions

    So decades ago, wood stocks were the default choice for a bolt gun. Over time it was noticed that the screws would loosen up as the material is organic, and it shrinks/swells in response to the environment. To combat this, people started using the ferrules for assembling a lampshade, and...

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    I don't know about the terminal performance stuff. This has been a personal project of his that I've just watched from a distance. I know he played with a variety of shapes before settling on one. He's since put together a small CNC hobby lathe at home for this.

    Gunsmithing Removing Bedding From AICS Chassis

    If this were me: I'd find a slug of steel with a similar diameter to the receiver. Warm that bugger up with a torch until it starts to smoke/show some tempering color change (400-600 degrees). Grab it with some slip joint pliers and just set it on the bedded area. I'd strip the chassis down...

    Fastest Cartridge in a R700 (.308 Boltface) ❓🤔❓

    One of my staff has messed around with a "ludicrous speed" 20-6mm XC. He's figured out how to pirate one of my mills and turn it into a machined bullet factory. Gang up a few tools in a block and clamp to a baseplate. Use a long-winded ER32 collet tool holder and load a stick of brass in...

    Indeed. Safe to say this thing will make a baby cry...lol. The last motor: A juiced-up 6 liter that lasted for 6 passes. (lol) To make it work, we left with around 12-15 percent throttle input. That, coupled with 20 degrees of timing pulled out at the hit with it ramped back in over 1.2...

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

    2k+ at the flywheel is where I hope to see this thing land. Some speculate it'll hit 2200. We'll see... Josh's dyno is rated to 2k, and he's hell-bent to see if this thing will break it. My hope is the dice roll on the heads pays off. I'm reasonably optimistic. We are hoping it comes...

    A few more. Josh is clearancing the block for the fatty rods now. Still have to hone the lifter bores as well.

    Making progress. We have to clearance the block for the connecting rods, then O ring the heads/decks for the Top Fuel Hoops. After that I think its ready to go together and break the dyno.

    Gunsmithing Anschutz trigger for my F-Class rifle?

    I've done this conversion to quite a few actions over the years. It hasn't been my experience that recoil is the issue. If you look at an exploded view of the 5018, 5022, etc there's a piece called the "transfer bar." It is the lever that loads against the cocking piece of the striker...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Base programming II. This should wrap up Op1. Were running a bucket full of our M700 lugs right now. Soon as I wrap that up, we'll be onto this bugger. Programming the ring set is next.

    Defiance Tenacity 8-40 scope base hardware issues

    I was asked, so here goes: "Such tight tolerances..." What does that even mean? (nothing other than a poor attempt at trying to sound cool) In their defense (Defiance), the 8-40 pitch is typically not listed in reference material like the Machinery Handbook because it's a very uncommon...
