    Rifle Scopes Refill and seal scope with Nitrogen

    I have an older scope that has had all the nitrogen leak out of it and its become very cloudy. I like the scope and its got a good reticle with matching 0.1mil turrets so it would be great if I could keep it to put on a trainer rifle. Anyone know of a place that might be able to take it apart...

    Krylon'd my XLR chassis

    It was finally warm and sunny enough this week that I was able to paint my XLR chassis. Ive had this thing since 2009 and finally got around to spraying it. I was actually wanting to do tan as the major color on the stock but I couldnt find any brown in stock locally so I decided on a Tsudo-GAP...

    Gunsmithing Rebirth of an old AR barrel

    I had an old 24" bull barrel left over from when I build an AR-15 Space gun for NRA across the course matches. The barrel shot decent but I got into other types of matches and the upper has sat unfired now for 4-5 years. Now I have a sickness, I cant leave things be, and I own a lathe. So I...

    Gunsmithing Front and rear spiders for my 11" Rockwell

    Well over the weekend I decided to build my front spider for my 11" Rockwell lathe. I built a rear spider about 2 months ago and have been using the Set-Tru feature of my Buck chuck to indicate barrels for threading. While this works it is not quick, precise, or ideal. Having not purchased a...

    Gunsmithing Action Wrenches

    Is there any reason to use a wrap around and clamping action wrench for a bolt gun versus one that goes into the rails and torques from inside? Either is pretty simple to make but the internal one requires much less material and machine work. versus

    Gunsmithing Different ways to indicate and thread/chamber a barrel

    OK. So Im getting ready to start doing my own barrels and Im deciding how I want to indicate the bore in. My lathe has a 1.4" bore and front and rear spiders and I have a steady with 37" between centers so all options are open to me. From what i can find there are typically 4-5 ways of doing...

    Gunsmithing First project on new lathe

    I started "gunsmithing" with a 7x10 mini lathe, moved to a 10x24 Atlas, and about 2 weeks ago I acquired and placed an 11x37" Rockwell lathe in my shop. Now that I have a lathe that has a quick change gearbox and a 1.4" spindle bore I have started to do some barrel work. My first thing to do was...

    Gunsmithing Machining a Ruger MK2 barrel feed ramp

    Im about to order a couple blanks to turn some 10/22 barrels for 2 receivers I have that need them. With the extra blank Id like to try and make a new barrel for my MK2. Majority of the machining is easy stuff but that feed ramp gives me pause. I think I see two options. 1. Machine the barrel...

    Gunsmithing Idea for straight pull bolt action

    After converting one of my AR uppers to side charging I got to thinking about the design and how easy it would be to use it as a straight pull bolt action. So I designed it. Here is my idea for a straight pull bolt action that would use standard AR-15 barrel extensions and bolts with a modified...

    My homemade sidecharger

    For the longest time I have had a hard on for side charging ARs. Cant tell you why or what for but I do. So today I got a wild hair up my ass and did it to my match rifle. It was actually a very easy thing to do over all. Hardest part was drilling the damn bolt carrier. I used a 3/8" carbide...

    Shot out barrels

    Im wondering if anyone has some old shot out barrels they would be willing to sell me cheap? Im wanting to use one for a F1 monocore 22 suppressor. The only thing I cant do with my machine is drill an accurate hole 6+ inches. A 6.5mm or even 7mm barrel would be the perfect bore for my 22...

    New custom Harris feet

    Well like most people I wasnt satisfied with the factory Harris feet. I looked at the Pod-Claws and just didnt want something that gaudy. What I did like was the Atlas spiked feet but no one offers something similar to that for the Harris. Lucky for me I have a lathe. So I got to looking at how...

    Rifle Scopes Cheveron reticle in something besides an ACOG?

    Now that the Corps is using the RCO(TA-31 ACOG) for our rifle qualifications I want to get a scope for my DCM upper to practice with what we qual with but I am not a fan of the ACOG at all and cant see spending $1500 on a scope I dislike. So my question is, are there any scopes that have a...

    Member Link Up 29 Palms anyone??

    Well I'm stuck out here at 29 palms for the next 12-18 months. Any Hide members around here? Where is there to shoot at? Anyone know about shooting private weapons on the base range? What about gun stores, possibly with reloading supplys?
