    Gunsmithing the intricacies of threading?

    That's similar to how the ones I have work, though considering the low quality of them, I've only ever used them to count TPI. The teeth on mine aren't cut nearly deep enough to be able to verify anything more than TPI. My bad if I made it sound like you were confusing me. I get what you're...

    Gunsmithing the intricacies of threading?

    I can get a thread protector on with just light effort, and it'll go until it bottoms out. The Surefire brake, which is the toughest to get on, spins on just fine until it runs into the damage portions of the threads. Once it hits the damaged portion, it becomes VERY stubborn and the barrel...

    Gunsmithing the intricacies of threading?

    Yep, first thing I did was scrub and degrease the threads using a fine wire brush. They are definitely damaged. You can see what look like flattened and widened spots on the peaks of the external thread. The muzzle brakes I'm using, at least one of them has never been used on any other...

    Gunsmithing the intricacies of threading?

    I only understand half of what I'm reading, but I'm following this closely now because I'm having a very similar problem. I've got a barrel I recently acquired from another SH member, and the muzzle threads are messed up. Some items, like a really loose thread protector, will go on with just a...

    Nigerian Scammer

    Calguns has an itrader system on there. It's not perfect because it doesn't work if people forget to leave feedback, which has happened multiple times to me. But it's better than nothing. And it looks like we've got one on here now too. Hopefully it works. The biggest problem is that the...

    Nigerian Scammer

    Are you thinking of traveler's checks? I've always thought of those as basically cash. With a money order at least there's a trail if someone tries to disappear with the money. They either have to cash it at a Post Office or deposit it in an account, and in my experience the USPS Inspectors...

    Nigerian Scammer

    Scammers are getting more and more sophisticated all the time. I almost fell for one of those stupid third-party check scams more than 10 years ago. Ever since then I've been extremely wary about doing deals online. There's even been a couple of deals on here that I've backed out of because...

    Gunsmithing Sportsmans warehouse now does gunsmithing

    It's like the joke about good and bad doctors. What do you call the person who graduated top of their med school class? Doctor. What do you call the person who graduated last in their med school class? Doctor.

    Gunsmithing Sportsmans warehouse now does gunsmithing

    Kinda late to the discussion but gunsmiths are few and far between in my area, and there is a Sportsman's so I asked them about this a few months back. So I finally have something to contribute! The "gunsmith" they use is in Utah or Nevada or somewhere. All "gunsmithing" that you ask them to...

    After 18mo of beating on things, here’s the stuff that kept working

    I like this list, but what I'd really like is a list of stuff you used that didn't make the list. As in, a list of things you tried out and found to be wanting.

    WTB JAE SA 700

    There's a guy in my area selling a used one, without siderails. Brown with black accessories, for a R700 SA platform. It's based off their old ordering system, so more like $1600 new and pretty much just one style, but he's asking less than what a new one would cost you. If that sounds like...

    LONG RANGE ARMS (send it) electronic level ?

    I've got one of these mounted on the left side off my Spuhr mount using a Pic rail segment. I use the bubble in the Spuhr mount to get in the neighborhood of level, turn the Send-It on, and use that to get perfectly level. I have it mounted vertically on the side, and I ordered the smaller...

    Why the 6.5 CM hate ?

    I just really want to know where you are, because I feel like maybe you were talking to the same guy I ran into at a LGS last year. All sorts of questions regarding internal and external ballistics, going on and on forever, and then finally tops it with declaring that you absolutely need to...

    MDT Oryx Chassis

    @MDT_Josh Just went through this thread and last time I see you mentioning the side panel colors you mentioned green, but that was well over a month ago. The website is showing grey panels. Inventory issue, website issue, or change in design? Just looking for some clarification and wondering...

    New born FN Ballista

    I was going to write a scathing rebuke but instead I think I'll just say that I'm perfectly happy with mine.

    New born FN Ballista

    Well yeah man. Considering what they are asking for it, of course it's seldom seen. EuroOptic has it listed for $565. Ouch.

    New born FN Ballista

    Where? I'm not seeing it. I just see a bipod on the M24 build, and it looks like a Harris to me.
