    Gunsmithing Should I compromise a rifle to shave weight?

    Well if you've switched to Bow hunting you're shooting at around 30 or 40 yards, so if you can be hunting at that range do you really need a .338 any more?

    Gunsmithing Threaded my bolt

    Can be done with a drill press, as far as the quality of bearings and casting well that would depend on the type of drill press he owns. Don't assume it's a cheap little flimsy thing. Also the cutting action is a straight up and down action not a side to side action, that is what a drill press...

    Gunsmithing Could it be built, and would it work.

    Why not just remove the brake for hunting? I don't see how it can be classed as a suppressor as it's just redirecting the sideways blast out the front, the same as if the brake was not there.

    Gunsmithing Polish a predator?

    Your better off taking it to a metal polisher, you'll spend a lot more on mops and compound than they'll charge to polish it. If you have access to a 4hp polisher then you can just sand it with 320grit and then hit it with a hard mop then finish it with a soft mop. Using a bench grinder (unless...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat compatability over a textured base finish?

    I used truck bed liner to texture the grip areas of my stock then used automotive basecoat and 2k matt clear with no issues, so i doubt you would have a problem with duracoat. I would think that anything that uses a hardener shouldn't have a problem with the solvent, it's not like you're soaking...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on barrel fluting?

    It's all about looks. You're removing material so it will be lighter, but not so much that you'll barely notice. You're increasing the surface area so it will dissipate heat quicker, but you'll need a temp probe to notice it. Also by removing material in the flutes you're reducing the mass...

    Gunsmithing GAP-10 Cerakote

    As the prep for Cerakote is to media blast with 100/120 grit it stands to reason that it is no longer anodized under the Cerakote anyway. If you want it re anodized then Bead blast it to remove the Cerakote but as has been stated, the color will not match perfectly as they may not have the same...
