    Hi-Hat tripod

    I thought some of you ELR guys with your 82lb rifles might be interested in a low-profile tripod that's actually designed to support that much weight: https://vimeo.com/41534721 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/860081-REG/Induro_472_101_DR_Hi_Hat_Tripod_Set.html

    Gunsmithing Recessed crown w/ thread protector

    Normally whenever I thread a barrel I've always just put a flat crown on it and then used whatever was threading onto it (suppressor, brake, thread protector) to provide some protection from dinging it. I was threading a buddy's 284 today and he wanted the crown recessed, and then he also...

    Gunsmithing 95 Palma Reamer/Go Gage question

    Unable to find a print, I am wondering if anyone can comment on if there is any difference between a 95 Palma reamer and/or a Go Gage labeled "308 Palma" and a standard Forester 1.630" 308 Go gage? I ask because I've got 2 different chambers cut by two different smiths using 2 different 95...

    Gunsmithing 7 WSM Reamer Dimensions Tolerances

    I've got a new 7 WSM reamer from PTG that I used to chamber a couple of barrels. The drawings on this reamer specified 0.5563 +- 0.001" at the base of the cartridge (0.2000 in front of boltface). However when I went to start load development with one of the rifle today I discovered that it...

    Gunsmithing M4 Bolt and/or Carrier ordnance print

    Does anyone have or know where to find a milspec ordnance print of an M4 bolt and/or carrier? The closest thing I've found is a solid works model of the BCG but I really need a measured drawing and I have no idea if the model is actually to spec or just an "artist's impression." If there are...

    New Forum Idea

    How about a forum for everyone to post the questions they dream up while surfing around on the internet and over-thinking things? We could call it the "OverThink Tank".

    Gunsmithing Barrel lug fit

    I'm curious to know if there is a consensus or objective argument regarding the fit of the barrel lug to the tenon. I've noticed that at least a couple well known gunsmiths will just thread a tenon all the way to the shoulder and let the lug just sort of "float" with little to no radial...

    Sako Quad fail-to-extract

    Anyone had any problems with their Sako (22LR) suddenly failing to extract? I haven't had a problem for 2 years and then suddenly a couple days ago it starts failing half the time. The bolt was clean and cleaning the chamber doesn't seem to have helped any. The extractor looks fine to my eye...

    FGMM Shooters

    Any of you FGMM shooters sitting on a stack of 10rd plastic trays you'd like to get rid of for the price of shipping and a 6 pack of beer? I'd really like to get my hands on 30 or 40 of them.

    Maggie’s Georgia Butterfly

    As I'm putting my 2yr old in his carseat today he points to the APA logo on my t-shirt and, after a moment's consideration, declares: "Butterfly!"

    Tube gun bolt stop

    How is the bolt-stop implemented on the Elisio and Mak tube guns? Is it simply the bolt handle banging into the back of the cutout or is there some alternative mechanism?

    338 Spectre loads

    Just starting to do some load development with the 338 Spectre. All data is with new brass & CCI primers, neck tension sort of felt like it was all over the place so that might explain a few of the odd numbers. Velocities match quickload when I increase case capacity to 29.4gr H2O. Not enough...

    Gunsmithing Any tips for measuring/mixing Devcon?

    I really wish they'd sell Devcon in a pair of transparent cauk gun tubes like giant syringes so I could just squeeze out the correct, matching amounts of base and activator. But since they don't (AFAIK) I am hoping that my current method of just scooping out approximate sized dollaps from each...

    Hunting & Fishing 338 Spectre for deer

    I'd like to use my 338 Spectre for one or more of my deer tags this year but am a little concerned about what sort of terminal ballistics I can expect with various bullets at such low speeds. Can anyone give me some first hand or expert advice on the effectiveness of a 338 pill on deer...
