    Gunsmithing LPH-80 air settings and Cerakoting actions questions

The screw below that it the Fluid control adjustment, this controls the amount of paint that can flow past the needle. For best air control you should...

    Gunsmithing When Gunsmith Won't Return Call or Email

    You make it sound like he was harassing the shit out of the smith by ringing and emailing him repeatedly, but the only reason for the repeated calls and emails was due to the smith not answering his phone or returning his call or email. If the smith had answered the initial call or email and...

    Gunsmithing Input on what happened to this brass...

    The way i read it is this, he took the rifle to a couple of shop who both said it looked like chamber failure, based on that he sent the rifle to the manufacturer to inspect it and test to see if it had any manufacturing flaws.

    Gunsmithing Bolt sticking when extracting round

    Are you using reloads and if so were they full length sized? If they have been fired in your old chamber and only neck sized that could be your problem. I don't think the painting is your problem unless you got paint on the lugs or in that area of the action. Since it seems to be fine without a...

    Gunsmithing Applying Cerakote

    Re: Applying Cerakote I've only used the air cure Cerakote with a LPH-80 with 0.8 fluid nozzle, but i adjusted the fluid control screw in to reduce the paint flow so you should be ok with the 0.6 nozzle. I don't know if the oven cure Cerakote is thicker or not, if it is then you might need to...

    Re: WARNING ~ TR ~ My experience So they would rather spend 10x more on lawyers fees than do right by their customers. Just keep communicating back and forth with their lawyer, every email and phone call will cost them money.

    Howa's Recommended Barrel Break in Procedure

    Re: Howa's Recommended Barrel Break in Procedure I don't think it's as cut and dry as you do or you don't need to break in a barrel. Not all barrels are created equally, and even the good ones can be let down by a poor reaming in the chamber. My new Krieger now has 100 rnds through it...
