    Gunsmithing Removing engraving, Stainless Colt Commander

    FWIW: On more than one occassion I've been asked to unring a bell with a TIG welder. If the piece is going to be coated with something like CK afterwards, my go to is silicon bronze as I don't need to get the substrate to its melting point for it to stick. (I call the stuff "machinists bondo"...

    Gunsmithing Running Automotive Grease in Firearms

    So, 40ish orbits ago, I attended a Hunter Safety Course in Grand Forks, ND. I watched the instructor pull out a shotgun that had taken a bath in a slew earlier that day. He "cleaned" that thing by sticking a diesel gas pump spigot into the muzzle and making a nice puddle in the dirt lot of a...

    Cadex rebarreling

    OP. We'd be happy to help. I just need a barreled action. We'll match the contour and sort out the dimensioning inhouse. Easy stuff. C.

    My next venture: Ti base for the XM-3

    XM3 titanium base is now fully modeled. Here is an assembly file of it plopped onto an action. I'll make a couple out of steel or 7075 just to check the fit before I turn the machine loose on 6AL4V. The hard part is over, now its just proramming.

    Here's a finished base. 3 steps left: Split the rings. Solder the rings to the base. Finish with parkerize solution. Hopefully my dern saw blades arrive today. Talking with Ryan awhile back, I made the decision to engrave our logo on the bottom of the rear bridge pad. This is an attempt...

    Progress. These are first articles of the base. I'm playing around with options regarding the screw holes. I'll finalize how I am going to do that this morning.

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Some bright and early stuff: The boss on the bottom of the ring is threaded to 1/2"-32tpi. By some kind of cosmic force I lucked out and got the thread timing right on the first try. The ring screws into the base and just starts to shoulder up contact at the correct clock position. -I'll...
