    Gunsmithing Savage bolt handle jump

    The bolt head isn't moving, just the bolt body when the sear releases the cocking pin. It isn't something that needs to be fixed. Even if you did, it wouldn't change the way it shoots. That's part of the beauty of the floating bolt head.

    Suppressors Efile form 4 Limbo

    I'd be willing to bet that your form 4 has been approved already. You are way past normal approval time. I submitted mine at the end of Feb and it was approved at the end of June. However, the email went to my dealers spam folder and he didn't know it. It was another month before I called...

    Gunsmithing savage 110 actions question

    Don't open the threads up. It doesn't need it. Pretty sure you mean magazine, not clip. If it is a centerfeed action it is long enough for an Accurate Mag DBM setup. If you have a stagger feed action, you can lengthen the mag opening to mimic a centerfeed magazine. Accurate Mag makes the...

    Gunsmithing Savage bolt timing and true affected by bolt head swap?

    Part of Fred's time and true is squaring up the bolt head. You can just sent a additional bolt heads to be trued along so they are all matched to your bolt body. The timing work is done on the bolt body cocking ramp, bolt lift kit, trigger, and sear. The truing work is squaring up the action...

    Gunsmithing Separated case stuck in AX.

    Get some of the epoxy putty. The kind that you knead together in your fingers. Push a ball of it into the stuck case and wait for it to set (about 10 minutes). Then pop it out with a cleaning rod inserted from the muzzle.

    Gunsmithing recommend a 'smith- savage re-tap to 8-40 threads

    Savage is a bit of a different animal than other actions. When you have them square the face of the action make sure they square it in relation to the tennon threads, not the bolt raceway. Make sure they don't re-cut the action threads either.

    Gunsmithing Best release agent for bedding?

    I've used JB Weld with very good success. Devcon 10110 is easier to use due to the thicker consistency. Kiwi neutral for release.

    Gunsmithing Where to find a broken shell extractor for odd calibers?

    I've use a method similar to this. Exchange some epoxy stick for the Cerrosafe. The putty is the kind you knead with your fingers. Then just push it into the stuck case. Wait a couple minutes for the epoxy to kick off and set. Then knock it out with a cleaning rod.

    Gunsmithing What dbm mags for a wsm case in a long action?

    I've run a couple WSM out of a Kwik Klip from Cabelas. Cheap, and they work very well. I'm going run a similar setup as above in my 6.5mmWSM out of a PTG stealth bottom metal.

    Suppressors E-Form System Update From DOJ

    With my tax dollars, I only want the system to barely function. Anything better, would be a waste of my money. Anything less, doesn't meet our needs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Timing a muzzlebrake

    Just mark the top of the barrel, take it off, and send it to Ross. His brake and install is cheaper than almost any bare brake out there. His work is good, fast, and cheap.

    Gunsmithing Turd Polishin'

    I have a couple 99's. Both made in 1917. One is a 250 Sav that is a takedown that my Great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and wife learned to shoot with. The other is a 30-30 that I picked up a few years ago.

    Suppressors E-Form System Update From DOJ

    Agents don't give a shit if it's paid before or after approval. You'd submit your form, wait 9 months, then pay for your immediate stamp. ATF doesn't worry about the cash flow generated by our forms as part of their operating budget. It wouldn't change a thing.
