    Gunsmithing Darex 90 help

    Hi Folks, I've just purchased a used Darex 90 for sharpening end mills. This particular unit does not come with the Stylus assembly. I've looked on line, and it appears easy enough to make. The one critical thing I need is the dimension of the rocker plate (part #9 on the schematic). This...

    All, There are several "old" shooters from either MTU units or the AMU out of Ft. Benning who frequent this board. I was informed this weekend, that the International Rifle Coach of the USAMU, Mr. Bill Krilling passed away on Saturday. Details for a memorial service are not finalized...

    Gunsmithing 1903 A3 sporter safety mod

    I got a Navy Arms 1903A3 action, have trued it up, tapped for scope base, and now I'm working on the safety. I have seen a few after market jobs, but no one seems overly impressed with them, besides, it seems that it's impossible to get the long, low-profile safety so popular years ago...

    Gopro camera, live?

    I am double plus un-smart when it comes to modern day electronics. I see the Gopro camera, and I wonder if anybody's skinned the cat with this device, and used it for real-time spotting of shots on target?? If so, how? What would you figure it would cost in total? I'm betting this might be...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    I've been thinking quite a bit about the resurgence of prone shooting. It sure beats the jackwagons who go to the range and sit at a bench, shoot their rifle off a tripod or bipod and claim that they were practicing marksmanship. Hey, I'm guilty too. Sometimes my truck is filled with...

    Gunsmithing 03 A3 thread specs and tolerances

    I'm threading a barrel to fit the square thread 03 A3 pattern. Mocked up some SS stock and cut one, just to ensure that I wouldn't bugger up a good barrel. Seems I've got it right, both in the cutter form (true square) and width. I'm running my "max" barrel thread height at 1.045", and my...

    Rifle Scopes M1A base

    Evening, I looked for prior posts about this, as I'm sure it's well covered territory. I've got an older Weaver T-10 that I want to mount on an M1A. I don't necessarily need "period correct", like the USMC mount for this configuration. I'm looking for something sturdy that I'll be happy...

    Gunsmithing Stuck with Grizzly

    Folks, I received a bunch of gift certificates to Grizzly for Christmas and birthday. I've since scoured the internet and found significant price differences on similar tooling that I want. Called Grizzly customer service and they won't allow me to "cash in" the certificates. Got to use...

    Movie Theater Boom stick

    Merry Christmas All! I'm looking for a video that's been floated around for the past few months to show my brother in law. I think it was called something to the effect of "Boomstick". An ameture video, with a guy in a ski mask, teaching idiots about a rifle and ammunition. Can anybody help...

    Gunsmithing Machine oil

    All, I used to live in an industrial area (Phenix City), but now find myself among loafers and suits. I'm getting ready to place my 16" Southbend and Bridgeport. Looking for an easy/affordable source for machine oil. Practical Machinist calls out ISO 22, ISO 32-46 and ISO 68. Besides...
