    Gunsmithing Home shop pics, lets see them.

    Re: Home shop pics, lets see them. When using the magnet for clean up put a kroger back over it, that way once its full you can just pull the bag off the magnet and all the chips just fall into the trash can and your magnet stays clean.

    Any real benefits to 6mm SLR?

    I know the 6mm debate has been going on for a LOOONG time and my head spins anytime i try to research anything 6mm. It seems anytime i find information its either contradicted by another source, or there are more people talking about other wildcat options than the one i am actually...

    Thoughts on this combo for LR hunting rig

    Re: Thoughts on this combo for LR hunting rig Would an elk round be similar to a moose round? About the only other hunt besides whitetail, and speed goats i can see doing would be a bear/moose combo at a friend owned fly in resort in ontario canada. If this round isnt up to speed i could...

    Thoughts on this combo for LR hunting rig

    Not sure if i really have a specific use for this, but my lathe is almost rebuilt and i am thinking about what i want to build. Right now i am heavily leaning towards a remington action w/ a 6.5x284 Possibly AI? Probably on a 22 or 24 inch medium contour fluted barrel w/ a vias MB. Thinking...

    Re: Zero Lathe experience. Is it possible? I am 100 percent self taught. Albiet not on a lathe YET. Here is the best advice i can give you in no certain order but all equally important. BUY THE MACHINERY. If you dont have it, you can never learn it. EXPECT TO SPEND ALOT ON TOOLING even...
