    FUBAR times 6!

    Not so fast on that one. The place was recommended to them and has a o.k. reputation. Nothing horrible that I've heard of. When the PD got the guns back they looked all good to go. There was no way the PD guys have tools or the ability to check bolt clearance or poor muzzle crown work etc...

    No that is BB material as well. BBA is the 2nd heat lot of the BB material we received so added a A. We have in house our 3rd lot as well.

    FUBAR times 6!

    So for these last two guns I was going to give them back to them with the old mounts on them and just couldn't do it. One rifle had two shims underneath the back of the mount and the other rifle the mount was bowed/bent call it what you want. So I took the old mounts off and put more EGW's on...

    12.7x114mm...

    Yes we make barrel blanks for Cadex. Are you asking if the round is lower pressure than a 50BMG? If so I want to say that each run at similar pressures. Both are in the low 50k range. I have not seen any current commercial load data to give any thought there.

    Lets see your USMC M40-M40A6!!!

    I'm with ya! Pretty much ambidextrous as well. I shoot pistol right handed but left eye dominant and I shoot rifle left handed. My right arm is my strong arm. I eat left handed, brush my teeth left handed but throw a ball or bat right handed and turn wrenches right handed or left handed. Were...

    FUBAR times 6!

    So this should be the last update... Guns #6 and #7 were brought in last Thursday. John just finished going thru #6... bad muzzle crown and bolt only had .005" clearance. Working on #7 now... that one the crown looks pretty good but John is going to cut it off and rethread it so it matches...

    Fucking crack me up! Disrespecting the teacher! I'll give you a good one... Out of 7 kids in my family only me and my 2nd oldest sister are left handed. I'm #5 in the line up of kids. In my dads family between his brothers and sisters (they had 11 kids and only my dad and one sister are right...

    Depends on your point of view. LOL! I am by normalcy a left handed shooter. So it works for me @corsairpilot62 I built a right handed gun because I wanted a 6 digit s/n action but I do have in the works to do a true left handed version at some point in time. Later, Frank Bartlein Barrels

    Gunsmithing What are you guys using now days to clean and lube?

    I agree on the smell of Sweet's. I've never wrecked a barrel with Sweet's the way I clean and use it. I use it for my fast method of cleaning and follow up with 40x cleaner and after that gets all dried out a light coat of Hoppe's. Dry patch the bore in the morning before shooting the gun all...

    Gunsmithing What are you guys using now days to clean and lube?

    Again some calibers will foul more than others... both in terms of carbon and copper. The biggest thing in my opinion with the carbon is if you get a heavy carbon build up it can bump pressures and effect velocity. I've seen barrels so carbon fouled that you can't even see the lands/grooves in...

    With the A3 style rings on it. I get more adjustment to set the eye relief for myself. GAP built. Later, Frank Bartlein Barrels

    Gunsmithing What are you guys using now days to clean and lube?

    You didn't let the Hoppe's sit long enough or repeat the process enough. I at times call it, "the barrel is sweating". Some think because the metal appears smooth they think it's smooth. In reality there are really small/tiny pores in it still. That's the minor part.... what I think is the...

    Hey I know that guy! LOL! Again guys there are 10 different ways to skin this cat. If you have a system/method you use and your getting the barrel cleaning/maintaining the system... then that doesn't mean the guy on the line next to you is doing it better. Could be doing it worse. As long as...

    I have to post a cool thing for the day! We received a Thank You letter from a LEO who isn't allowed to use social media and as well as wishes to remain anonymous so I will not post name or place where he's from (not a local guy). He took the time to hand write a thank you letter and send it...
