    Gunsmithing Thoughts on hand lapping factory barrels?

    I have a Savage 5R barrel that has about 1000 rnds through it. What is ya'lls take on whether this barrel would benefit or degrade from a hand lapping. Another question I have is, do you think it would be a good idea to give this barrel a crio treatment to make it last longer?

    Gunsmithing How's this brake look to ya'll?

    I have a brake this guy made who thinks its a decent brake. I think it's junk. So, now, I'm going to ask folks who actually make and use these things. This piece hasn't been shot, and wont, not by me anyway. Don't want the guy saying I messed something up by mounting it and shooting it. I have...

    Proven loads for the Savage 5R barrel?

    I just got my 10 fcp HS 5R and was going to work up a load for out to 500 yards starting with a few different brands around the same weight, starting with a SMK, a Berger, and a Scenar. I was going to go with around the 168g weight since I've heard more than a few folks liking the 168 SMK for...
