    Gunsmithing Anschutz trigger for my F-Class rifle?

    I've done this conversion to quite a few actions over the years. It hasn't been my experience that recoil is the issue. If you look at an exploded view of the 5018, 5022, etc there's a piece called the "transfer bar." It is the lever that loads against the cocking piece of the striker...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Base programming II. This should wrap up Op1. Were running a bucket full of our M700 lugs right now. Soon as I wrap that up, we'll be onto this bugger. Programming the ring set is next.

    Defiance Tenacity 8-40 scope base hardware issues

    I was asked, so here goes: "Such tight tolerances..." What does that even mean? (nothing other than a poor attempt at trying to sound cool) In their defense (Defiance), the 8-40 pitch is typically not listed in reference material like the Machinery Handbook because it's a very uncommon...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    This week has been devoted to wrapping up these buggers, 1st article samples of a billet P90 variant upper receiver. They shipped yesterday so I have that box checked. I am hoping to start on the bases over the weekend. -It's in the air as of yet. My daughter's car (Infinity SUV) is on the...

    Scoring in new chamber , leaving marks on brass .

    I was tagged so here goes. : First, honing, polishing, whatever is intended to improve surface finish. If one is after a dimensional change, it is not how you solve the problem. My interpretation from your post (OP) is that you have inclusions in the chamber. The grooves ("1/4" down from...

    You had to bring it up....lol. Whole new setup this year. (more like next year, as we prolly won't get to do much with it this summer since it's still at the machine shop being finished) I made a lot of parts for this thing, but I don't own a boring bar or a hone for the block work. I was...

    More stuff. A legit XM3. I'll pull the optic and get a model of the base today hopefully.

    Our ongoing base project is progressing well. Tons of artifact parts to build a tolerance window from now. Very cool.

    Maggie’s Blowing whistles OR...?

    8 hour drive yesterday, so I popped on the podcast about the Biden IRS whistleblower hearing. Dear Whistleblower guy: 99% of Americans can give two shits about whether you blow whistles or skin flutes at night in your own home in your own bed. Your 5-minute dissertation about how gay you are...

    I'm on it. If you guys have any archive photos showing that piece, post them up. I'm most curious to know if they have any engraving on them for adjustments.

    Gunsmithing Flush cup removal

    How I do it: Find a 3/8 drive hex socket that fits the cup. Now warm it up with a propane torch while NOT in the flushcup/stock. Spit on it. If your spit sizzles and bounces off the hex, it's hot enough. Stick the tool in the socket. Wait for the smoke, and when it smells like the nail...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    Yesterday I had a pit stop in Sioux Falls, SD, on my way home from Omaha, NE, to pick up more artifact pieces for this scope base project. A good hour-long meeting in my pickup at a truck stop reviewing parts once again humbled me greatly as the subtle details of how these parts evolved is...
