XM-3 EFR Mounts.
EFR parts have landed! Quick question for you guys: The original that I have used socket head cap screws. I happen to have some screws that are the same size, but with Torx head sockets. Stick with the Allen Key or do you want the torx heads instead?- LRI

Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming
Replied yesterday. I'm throwing it in here as there's a portion of this that might help others when/if they experience the same thing. (joint failure) I can knock this out pretty quickly. I still like to have the original barreled action here to ensure I get the PE timing correct. The biggest...- LRI

Canted action/scope rail (side to side)
FWIW: There are several things here that lead to where you are now. In a machinist world, it is called "tolerance stacking." Questions that immediately come to mind: Receiver guard screw holes squareness to bolt lug raceways Scope base holes squareness to bolt lug raceways Scope base radius...- LRI

It's in the works. The issue right now is just waiting for the artifact parts to show up. Once they get here, I'll start the ritual of the dissection and recreation.- LRI

XM-3 EFR Mounts.
I threw this up a few days ago in the Bolt Action section. I wished I'd of listed it here as I failed to realize SH has a section devoted to this stuff. A friend gave me one of these original bases to reproduce. I ran the artifact piece through the metrology lab and was able to replicate...- LRI

EFR mount now on the store. Please note. The machine work is about done. I have 5 or so left to do. They will depart for anodizing next. Those folks usually only take a few days. It has been as long as 14 days, though. Please be mindful of that if you elect to order right away. Here is...- LRI

The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff
I guess its time to explore other stuff for these things. My friend sent some photos of the ti base. Just from looking at it, its pretty simple, but there are some subtle differences not seen on other M40 clip slot type bases. I could guess my way through it, but it'd be better if I had an...- LRI

The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff
It's always best to have it, but it's not an absolute requirement. I much prefer to have all parts in hand for jobs like this because then I can check the box. Barrels do not always point "straight," and stocks are not always inletted on center. "Un-gooing" big parts like this are a wholly...- LRI

Base and top piece. It works, but I'm not happy with the finish. A wee bit crunchy as it bored the opening. These are not a hole. It's an oval. That rules out a single point boring head. Instead i either get a very long/large tool and contour or I ramp a contour like a spiral staircase...- LRI
