    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    Oky doke folks! I had my friend from down the street (a gorilla that used to run the RCS) take a look at them. Thumbs up so we'll start boxing stuff up.

    Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming

    After cleanup in the blast cabinet. Adhesion up front is good. Creep on the rear reveals 100% adhesion across both parts.

    Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming

    I have a few T&T jobs to catch up on this am so I snapped some photos to show what's involved with this service. Parts being sterile is a big deal with this. No traces of oils, solvents, residual blast media, solder, paint, or any other funk can be present. Otherwise the weld quality goes...

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    EFR parts have landed! Quick question for you guys: The original that I have used socket head cap screws. I happen to have some screws that are the same size, but with Torx head sockets. Stick with the Allen Key or do you want the torx heads instead?

    Pacific Tool & Guide...The love keeps coming

    Replied yesterday. I'm throwing it in here as there's a portion of this that might help others when/if they experience the same thing. (joint failure) I can knock this out pretty quickly. I still like to have the original barreled action here to ensure I get the PE timing correct. The biggest...

    Canted action/scope rail (side to side)

    FWIW: There are several things here that lead to where you are now. In a machinist world, it is called "tolerance stacking." Questions that immediately come to mind: Receiver guard screw holes squareness to bolt lug raceways Scope base holes squareness to bolt lug raceways Scope base radius...

    UPDATE; 7.6.30 Parts are coming back from the ano peeps. Expect them Mon/Tues. We'll be shipping next week folks. As for the "other" stuff, I have a text from Wednesday this week that artifact parts are inbound. They are coming from Minneapolis area so they might get here tomorrow...

    It's in the works. The issue right now is just waiting for the artifact parts to show up. Once they get here, I'll start the ritual of the dissection and recreation.

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    I threw this up a few days ago in the Bolt Action section. I wished I'd of listed it here as I failed to realize SH has a section devoted to this stuff. A friend gave me one of these original bases to reproduce. I ran the artifact piece through the metrology lab and was able to replicate...

    Visit the shop site in the GS section. It'll list the Time/Tig service. I have NOS 40x bolt handles in carbon/stainless.

    2 piece...as in: handle needs to be attached? Or interchangeable bolt head?

    The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff

    EFR mount now on the store. Please note. The machine work is about done. I have 5 or so left to do. They will depart for anodizing next. Those folks usually only take a few days. It has been as long as 14 days, though. Please be mindful of that if you elect to order right away. Here is...

    The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff

    I guess its time to explore other stuff for these things. My friend sent some photos of the ti base. Just from looking at it, its pretty simple, but there are some subtle differences not seen on other M40 clip slot type bases. I could guess my way through it, but it'd be better if I had an...

    The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff

    It's always best to have it, but it's not an absolute requirement. I much prefer to have all parts in hand for jobs like this because then I can check the box. Barrels do not always point "straight," and stocks are not always inletted on center. "Un-gooing" big parts like this are a wholly...
