    Marlin problems

    Re: Marlin problems Sorry to hear it. My Xt-22 (standard weight barrel) was about .5-.6" with several types of ammo at 50 yards. I chopped the barrel to 16", reinforced the forend and recut the crown and it is leaning more towards the .4-.5" mark for 5 shot groups. Looking at the setup of...

    Fieldcraft More sponge painting fun

    Re: More sponge painting fun That will work. I have found the sponges so easy to work with and just as effective as anything else. I use a base coat of cerakote and go from there.

    What to do with a floating lug on a Marlin XT-22?

    Re: What to do with a floating lug on a Marlin XT-22? It is extremely loose, as in falls out when I turned the action over. Looking at the tang it is pretty beefy, a simple 1/4" screw would be no problem and there is plenty of room on the stock to do a small pillar. The only funky spot is...

    Ok I have a baseline for accuracy (average of .65 for wolf, Fed 510 and Winchester subsonics) and tore the rifle apart to start looking at what I can tweak. The first thing that leaps out at me is the floating barrel lug. I understand the sliding arrangment will allow the barrel to center itself...

    Gunsmithing sandblasting ???

    Re: sandblasting ??? As an option I have used regular old playsand. Getting AO can be next to impossible sometimes and you have to make due with what you have. After blasting with sand you need to degrease the crap out of it to make sure you dont have any silica dust on the surface. I have...

    22 rimfire on AR500 steel. safe?

    Re: 22 rimfire on AR500 steel. safe? Porta Target and Action target both officially recommend 10 yards for a minimum safe distance for steel. Lead bullets of any kind are pretty much dropping at the point of impact, either splattering into fragments or holding together in a little blob and...

    Some nice groups from today

    Re: Some nice groups from today I would rest quite content if a rifle set up for field use could produce like that. I would take a consistent 1 moa rifle anyday over a high maintanence bench gun that will do half of that but only on Wednesdays after I ate tofu and stood on one foot for 30...

    I felt good at the range today

    Re: I felt good at the range today Hunt down whatever ammo you used and buy every last round you can find from that lot. Start entering matches, you will clean up at the prize table for everything you enter.

    new project

    Ok guys I picked up a Marlin Xt-22, standard weight barrel with the synthetic stock. First overall impression is that the balance and OEM stock has a more "adult feel" than the Savages which I pretty much attribute to the crappy stock most of the Savages start with. I picked this up as a...
