    Gunsmithing Question on barrel shortening/stress relief

    I'm thinking about shortening a 26" stainless steel barrel to 22", recrowning and re-threading it. Does this work mean that barrel will need to be stress-relieved afterwards? Thanks in advance.

    Gunsmithing Problems with CeraKote

    Recently had a stainless AR barrel CeraKote'd. Now the diameter is too big to get my .750" PRI gas block to fit. Have tried knocking it on but all that has done is start to scratch up the CeraKote. What is the best thing to do? Should I remove the CeraKote on the .750" part of the barrel...

    KAC Rail covers

    Great piece of kit but..... Why don't they lock in place on my Vltor VIS? They work fine on my Daniel Defense fore-end but the latch won't engage on the Vltor rail. Anybody else had this problem and can advise a quick fix (not one that suggests using something else, please )?

    Sorry if this a really stupid question...... I'm thinking about replacing my front sight/gas block on an AR with a low profile verion. The existing assembly is a clamp on but I'd like to change to a set screw version. Should the set screw detents on the barrel be threaded or are they just...

    Gunsmithing Barrel nut torque - what's "safe"?

    I'm installing a VIS monolithic upper on a rifle. In the "instructions" sheet that comes in the box it mentions torque to "no more than 40 ft lb" but gives no max/min torque range. The most I can seem to get it torqued to is around 25-27 ft lb (the barrel is a Sabre Defence 16"). If I try...
