As you all know, Papagrizzly, aka the owner of Grizzly here on the hide, he did right by me. For more years than I can count, I have been making firearms. Been through the American / Taiwan lathe BS for longer than I can remember. Used most of them if not all. I needed a 2nd lathe for my shop...

Just finished a build for a customer with an .........exotic? paint job. They love it, just looking for opinions if others may be interested in this kind of "flip-flop" type paint scheme. It was done in CeraKote black and desert tan. Be nice Thanks for any input and happy shooting.

I am sure the gods will get me for this......I took a brand new McM A5 adj along with an action I trued, a new trigger and a MTU S.S. barrel and painted them ALL black : ). I will post a range report asap.

Hey All, Quick note about a rifle I just finished today. Was an old "Grandpas" rifle I picked up. It was a 7mm Rem Mag. Converted it to a 300 WM. Looks nothing like the original. The Rem action is now trued and squared McMillan A5 Adj Stock CDI DBM Benchmark Heavy Varmint SS Barrel, 1:11 Harris...

Hey all, Just got done with a new paint job on a personal build. Looking for input before I part with it. Don't be shy but I do want constructive critcism. Thanks, Woody www.xringaccuracy.com

Just finished up a build for a client and thought you all may be interested. They picked all the parts and I can find no flaw in the choice. My apologies for bad photograhy : ) . Lawton 7000 W/ 20 MOA Scope Rail BenchMark Barrel, 1:8 Twist, .243 McMillan Desrt Camo Stock, 3 Point Bedded, Floated...

I hope this doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I have the read the search results. What I am looking for is a consensus on what you guys use. Looking for both pros and cons. I have read of the chemical, mechanical, and laser options. In the long run, what works best? I am not looking for a one...

I have a Lawton 700 SA, Brownell bottom metal and follower. The bolt face barely engages the rear of the casing, most of the time it just hops over the edge and will not push the round. The caliber is 6.5x47. I am not sure if I need to open up the receiver to allow the round to sit higher or...

Exactly how bad does it stink up your house when you bake on a finish in your regular home oven? Let me know before I get my ass whupped, lol. Thanks

Hey All, Got a question. When doing a 3 point bedding, how the heck do you make the edge of the bedding compound in the barrel channel under the first inch or so of the barrel a nice crisp square line? Mine seems to ooze around the tape that I guage the barrel relief with. It is still 3 point...

Hey Gang, Looking for info on rebarreling an M1A. Any good tutorials / books on the subject? Best way to headspace this rascal? Thanks in advance.

Update: My new lathe showed up yesterday. This is not my first gunsmithing lathe and won't be my last. Posting this so some people can get an idea of what to expect. A few points I need to make for anyone interested. The 40" bed is what the doctor orderded. The fit of the accessories seems...

Well, finally have a lathe that has a coolant system . My questions are 1- I don't want to use the water based coolant for rust and microbe reasons, any particular brand of other based coolants you guys have good luck with? 2-Where can I find the gizmo that attaches to the muzzle to put the...

Not sure how to put the heading, but you will get the idea. I use crushed walnut for my media in my tumbler. Well, last night, after tumbling some brass, I was cleaning them out with compressed air. One case felt heavy as I sifted it out and procedded to shoot some air to it. Looking thru the...

Hey Gang, Had a great day at he range with my new rifle. 6X47 Lapua. Attached are a few pics. I was working on the bullet seating as you can see from the numbering...000 was on the lands, .005, .010, and .015 off the lands respectively. I'm getting it fine tuned but happy so far. 1st and second...

Today, 8/15 I participated in a match at 600 yds. There were 12 of us. It was a beautiful blustery day. Winds 10 - 15 kts, makes things a little more challenging for all. Well, each and every one of the the 11 other competitors proceeded to hand me my ass. Another fine day of shooting .

Hi All, I have a rifle chambered for 6.5/284 Win. I mistakenly (insert dumbass) bought some 6.5/284 Norma brass. My question is this, will my dies shrink the norma down eonough or am I stuck with 100 pcs of Lapua brass. Thanks in advance

I have a .270 and am curious if that bolt face will work with a 6.5 284. I know, I know it may be dumb, but had to ask just in case. Its a 98 Mauser if it matters. I know many Rem .308 and 30.06 bolts work on a number of other calibers. Pardon the stupid question. Thanks

Not sure where to put this so here goes.....I sent my fathers M98 Mauser to John Van Dyke. John had built a rifle for me in the past so I trusted him. After 8 months of religiously calling him every 2 months....he always said he was busy. I let it go. Finally I called this past monday and asked...

Any of you guys ever used or shot a rifle built by Moss Rifles? Thanks in advance for any input.
