    Gunsmithing How much camming is needed?

    I picked up a new SPS last week and finally got around to stripping it down and truing the action. I did not even really clean up the lug abutments and did not have to touch the bolt lugs at all other than lapping. When I got through I realized that the bolt handle pretty far away from the...

    Gunsmithing Got a ring in a chamber, choices?

    I chambered up a 300 Win mag for a buddy a couple day ago. Screwed it all together and started break in with some factory ammo. I had a pretty bad ring on the case, never had one before. It was not ejecting cases, so I decided I would fix it. Stuck it back in the lathe and set it back.080...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada repair?

    I have a 35mm tubed IOR Valdada that was sold as a SHOT show sample. How can I get this scope repaired? The focus is moving when the rifle recoils, causing me to have to refocus before each shot.

    How the hell are you supposed to twist this barrel off? What is this thing torqued to? I guess I will be making an around the action wrench to grab the recoil lug Sunday, my internal wrench does not seem to be the ticket.

    Gunsmithing JB weld strength on bolt threads?

    I made an internal action wrench today. I had intended to cut a square 1/2 inch hole and use a 1/2 inch pull handle to twist the action off. Well I screwed that up. So I drilled out the end of the wrench and threaded if for a 7/8 bolt. Then I JB welded the bolt into the wrench. How mech...

    Gunsmithing Boltface true?

    I was trueing an action today when it occured to me, what does it matter so long as the blotface is true. Why would anything else matter so long as you are getting decent lug contact and the boltface is true? Why wouldn't a remington that had the lugs lapped and the boltface trued to the...
