    Rifle Scopes S&B limited edition PSR scope

    I've managed to pick up a Schmidt Bender PSR scope. As expected, upon removal of the limited edition badge on the objective the QR code and some of the font has been defaced. I'm considering restoring this defaced area and need some help. I need someone with an intact QR code to scan it and...

    Pmclaine: that would probably work for triggerpin hole Trigger monkey: bedding would definitely take out the slop.

    Gunsmithing Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: 80% AR lower edition

    Lesson learned: be careful and hit the numbers on the damn print! Was this necessary? Probably not. It was shooting quite well prior to this modification. But, it just bothered the hell out me. To the point where I was going to scrap the receiver. I just needed to try to solve this. Funny thing...

    Gunsmithing Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: 80% AR lower edition

    So, cut a .375" dia counterbore .080" deep from the inside of each takedown pin hole. The left bushing had a .007" thick x .400 dia flange while the right had a .018" x .400 dia flange. Pressed in and here we are: View of outer aspect

    Gunsmithing Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: 80% AR lower edition

    The print calls out .500" width for this area of the receiver to allow for the upper takedown lug to sit. My receiver measured at .525". Analyzing the error revealed that too much was milled away by .007" on the left side and .018" from the right side! So, I came up with making bushings that...

    Gunsmithing Misadventures in Amature Gunsmithery: 80% AR lower edition

    Ever have a sloppy fitting AR upper and lower? I'm specifically referring to the rear portion at the take down pin. Well, I found myself facing this unacceptable situation through all fault of my own. There are shim kits to remedying this situation. It works, but is a real bitch getting the...

    M24 scope...allegedly! SH experts help!

    Huskydriver: I hear you and agree that it got unofficially "DRMO'd". Absolutely there are better scopes to run. But, if you're doing a period correct clone of an M24, this is the type.

    M24 scope...allegedly! SH experts help!

    I ordered some NaOH powder and mixed the concentration referenced in the article. Unfortunately , the results did not reveal any markings. I didn't expect it to reveal much, as the markings on the M3a are very superficial. They almost appear laser etched or similar. Not sure how they where...

    M24 scope...allegedly! SH experts help!

    A few individuals have recommended forensic recovery of the serial number. I did some research and found some literature on the topic. One research article showed promise using NaOH for aluminum. The technique involves polishing the affected area: I polished the surface, but some spots were...
