Gunsmithing Machining Rem 700 Action.
Re: Machining Rem 700 Action. I'll toss this out there "FWIW". Mark Serbu has been building the BFG 50 50 cal. rifles for more than 10 years. I've been to his shop on more than one occasion. His primary & only CNC machine at the time was a Fadal 4020. His action is unique, robust & simple...- CS223

Gunsmithing Blasting media questions
Re: Blasting media questions If you have a pressure pot blasting cabinet, 40 PSI with 80-100 grit abrasive will do fine, throttle back the abrasive flow to give yourself more working time and to see what you're doing. I've done things like 1919 sights, even some electo-etched parts and there...- CS223

Gunsmithing The elusive FFL
Re: The elusive FFL First, verify that you can operate your business at the intended location. If your local municipality issues business licenses, apply and obtain that first, if they don't, get a letter from the governing authority stating that no business license is required. Helps to have...- CS223

Gunsmithing Opinions on buying a used Hurco KMB1 CNC?
Re: Opinions on buying a used Hurco KMB1 CNC? Knee mill verses a CNC VMC "Vertical Machining Center" A CNC knee mill has limited spindle travel in the Z direction, the coarse Z movement comes from the "knee" to which the table is mounted. Since it has a lot of mass associated with it, it...- CS223

Gunsmithing Opinions on buying a used Hurco KMB1 CNC?
Re: Opinions on buying a used Hurco KMB1 CNC? In the same price range is the smaller Tormach and probably a Bridgeport Boss. The BP Boss & KMB1 are essentially converted knee mills. I believe there are a number of KMB1 owners in the Hurco forum on CNCzone.com. Seems to be a good bit of user...- CS223

Gunsmithing Test Indicators
Re: Test Indicators I've been watching this thread and have a few thoughts to ponder. The obsession of dialing in the bore to Zero TIR at least for chambering purposes seems to be a bit over kill simply because of the use of a floating reamer holder along with a removable pilot reamer...- CS223

Gunsmithing Opinions: $1500 mill
Re: Opinions: $1500 mill My suggestion is to keep saving your money, clean out your closets & shed, sell stuff on Ebay at least until you have enough for a 9x49 Bridgeport clone. You're about halfway there. The resale value of a drill-mill or other bench top mill is pretty poor. If you get a...- CS223

Gunsmithing timing PRI Brake on ar barrel.
Re: timing PRI Brake on ar barrel. You could use a peel washer or a combination of the peel washer & crush aka Belleville washer to time it. Seems a little odd that you can't another half turn on it to time it up, you can generally wrench on it pretty hard if your barrel is held securely...- CS223
