    Time pieces/Watches?

    I’ll look it up and put it on my list. I do like my Hanhart I posted pic’s of way back in the beginning of this thread somewhere. Just wish it was an original WW2 German pilots watch.

    Greg, Stainless steel barrels can still corrode/pit. It’s not surgical stainless. So you still have to do maintenance and cleaning of the barrel. Outside and inside. Being as the black oxide is a finish. My take is this. You want all your machine work done prior to finishing. So thread...

    Nice collection. A Rolex Submariner with the Pepsi dial on it is on my bucket list.

    Time pieces/Watches?

    I'll either make a custom wood display case that I'll have my son help me with as he likes working with wood or will 3d print a display holder. Also will install a UV light that will face the clock face so when you turn it on in the dark it will look something like this....

    It is. It has 417 parts to it. A date for the calendar for the day which is the left small dial that is called the civil date. Top small dial is a minute time recorder which ends at 60 minutes, the far right is your small second hand which is always working, and the bottom small is your elapsed...

    I don't know offhand or remember hearing how they did. Back in the late 50's / 60's when places like Remington or Win did the blued type finish on a stainless barrel (it came out like a flat black looking finish) they had to run the barrels thru a process (I forget the technical name) where...

    If all of you could please… when you email in your order… put a reference in there with your forum name/call out also. That way I cross guys off of the hide list as the orders get entered. Not a big deal… I just don’t want to miss anyone. I should’ve said that in my earlier post.

    Strongest bore cleaner available

    Don’t let CLR soak in the barrels for extended periods of time. It will pit and etch the barrels. CM barrels it will show pitting and strip the blued finish off in less than 24 hours. Stainless steel barrels will take longer approx 5 days as a close number. So be careful in using CLR.

    Strongest bore cleaner available

    Parker Hale. Why? I roll the patch (nice cotton patches like Proshot) around the jag like you roll a cigarette. Your patch should be cut to size. Not to tight and not too loose. So for example a 30cal. The patch for a 30cal PH jag should be like 2.25" x 2.25" square is about the perfect size...
