    Gunsmithing Finding unknown Torque value of a screw?

    all interesting points, thank you. i don't have a specific rifle in mind.....more of an academic interest. It came about because on my Sig SSG3000 i've seen printed different numbers for securing the barrel in the receiver. this led me to consider that i have some old C&R rifles and had no...

    Gunsmithing Finding unknown Torque value of a screw?

    This is somewhat of a hypothetical question ....let's say i have a rifle that is shooting great and i want to establish and record the torque values for future reference so that if the screws ever loosen i can return them to this previous established optimal setting. Is there a...

One day at the range someone was shooting a Boyd aftermarket stock 10/22 and we got to speaking about triggers and stocks etc. He really liked the stock a lot. Said it didn't take much work...

    Range Report slowly getting better…still a long way to go

    thank you for the kind words. i don't have a chronograph so i'm not sure what velocities i'm getting. I hope to one day borrow a friend's. i know most who compete in PRS don't tend to focus or need to focus on getting little groups .... unfortunately from a physical handicap i'll never be...

    Range Report slowly getting better…still a long way to go

    Thanks. The rifle is a Sig SSG3000. I replaced the original .308 barrel with a Benchmark Barrel in 6.5x47L. I just couldn't tolerate the recoil of the .308 even with a muzzle brake. The rifle design is such that one can easily change barrels with only a hex key as the barrels are fit on a...
