    Gunsmithing XXXL shipping crate.

    We just finished a couple 52" near 20 pound rifles and have some 58" to 60" rifles coming up. A single I would take it out of the stock but two identical rifles I think it's better to keep them together. I need to ship them and be sure they arrive perfect. For these two we built a huge...

    Gunsmithing 8-40 scope base hole is stripped. Now what?

    8-40 receiver hole is stripped. Welding is not an option. What is a good way to restore it to 8-40? Been thinking helicoil or some sort of insert but can't find anything in 8-40. Thanks

    Gunsmithing The action wrench store was out!

    The action wrench store was out! I thought I had everything but did not have one to fit this monster Stiller 1.600" Tac408 action. So I had to make my own. Started with a 1 1/4" 4140 shaft. Borrowed Holland's design with his permission and made it to suit. I didn't have the form cutter...

    Suppressors 338 LM best suppressor and thread size?

    I really don't know much about suppressors. I am building 2 338 Lapua's for a guy and he is wanting suppressors on them. Who makes a good solid suppressor and what size threads does it need? 5/8-24 or 3/4-24? The barrels are .9 at the muzzle. If I end up 3/4-24 thread I'm going to need a...

    Gunsmithing Open ended request - most accurate 1000yd rifle.

    One of my customers has approached me to just build him the best/super accurate 1000 yard plinking/varmint rifle possible. I have free reign to achieve this objective but that's all. This has thrown me for a loop. I usually get a little more specific requests. There are so many ways to go...

    Gunsmithing D1-4 mounted directly to action jig?

    Anyone ever attach a D1-4 right to their action truing jig instead of placing it in a 4 jaw? Seems this would make it way faster to switchover/setup and be safer as it would never slip. I just ordered another back plate and will be mounting mine up permanently soon.

    Rifle Scopes Why all the interest in FFP scopes?

    I know it's so you can range or dope on any power but honestly. How usable is that 1/4" reticle on 6 power? Can you even make out the marks on the lowest power? They cost a lot more. Why are people asking for them? How accurate is ranging with a reticle over 600 yards? I shoot to a...
