    Harris bipod spike feet

    I just figured the finer threads would be easier to cut. Threading the legs appealed to me because of the clean look, but re-using the roll pin might be a better approach for making it user-friendly.

    Harris bipod spike feet

    Another idea I just has was to make the hole just a 3/8" hole. Then drill and tap the side for a set screw that would lock into the roll pin hole. Only problem is that there isn't enough wall thickness left for the set screw. Oh well, now I have a set that can be roll pinned or epoxied on.

    Harris bipod spike feet

    Sent you a PM. As long as the buyer had the ability to remove the rubbers and run a die down their bipod legs it wouldn't be a problem. I don't know how many folks have 3/8-24 dies at home. Guess I would need to start a thread in the classifieds for that.

    Harris bipod spike feet

    I know there are others out there, but here's my new idea for Harris bipod feet. Harris uses 3/8” material for the legs, so I just threaded them 3/8-24 and made some replaceable feet from aluminum. I turned a section where the rubber feet could still be used when desired. The rubbers will also...

I'd be interested to see how your jig turns...

    CZ455 Modification Thread

    I tried out my home made jig for Savage MKIIs with a CZ bolt handle and think it worked pretty well. I wasn't too sure due to the funny angles that are going on with those handles. Yes, they are pretty hard.

    winter shooting gloves

    I have a lot of different gloves, but I have found myself lately just wearing the cheap brown jersey gloves when actively doing something. I have a pair in every coat, so they are always handy. They really do seem to work well enough for working a bolt gun or shotgun, but not so great for pistol...

    How dangerous is/was this? Bolt not locked all the way

    I wouldn't get too worked up about it. You don't have to be happy, but every smith (or any other profession out there) makes mistakes. I don't think you were in any danger, but am not really qualified to know for sure.

    Gunsmithing milling factory glock slide

    I don't know much about machining, but have small Enco mill and cut a Glock slide with PTG carbide end mills. It was obviously pretty hard, but I didn't have any trouble ..... just a bit of a pucker factor cutting on something I never tried before and heard so much about.

    DIY Adjustable Cheek Rest on the cheap

    Look at knifekits.com for kydex and supplies for it. If you don't want moleskin I'm thinking Brownell's sells an adhesive rubber pad in different thicknesses made to be used for a cheek rest.
