    Gunsmithing Post bedding cleanup question.

    Just got bedding a couple of stocks and things turned out great. I used Kiwi shoe wax as a release agent and some modeling clay to fill any holes. My questions now is how do I get all this damn Kiwi wax off my action? Hoppes #9 didn't touch it, rubbing alcohol didn't do it either. What...

    Pressure sensitive paper or transfer paper?

    I'm looking for something that I can put in the bolt cut out on stocks that would tell me if my bolt handle is contacting the stock when closed. I noticed tonight that on a Bell and Carlson stock for a Rem 700 action that my Zermett RimX handle seems to be stopping short of being fully closed...

    Can anyone help me out with this error? Whenever I try to open the website from Firefox (most recent version), I get the following pop up. It looks like there's some cookie or tracker that isn't working right. I can get to the site by opening a private browsing tab though.

    Gunsmithing Opening a Howa Mini Bolt Face?

    I'm wondering how much I could expect to get a Howa Mini 223 bolt opened up to a 224 Valkyrie. They come with an M-16 style extractor already, that would need to be re-worked as well.

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this firing issue?

    Had a new problem that I haven't encountered before and could use the collective thoughts of the board. I recently installed a Calvin Elite trigger on a Stiller Predator action. I didn't adjust the trigger at all, just installed it and used it at the weight it was set from the factory. I...

    Gunsmithing Any gunsmiths low on work?

    Last year I sent my Stiller Predator action and Krieger barrel off to be chambered and installed. Nothing too complicated. After the last 4 months of no contact from the smith, I finally got in touch with his wife who will be sending the parts back to me this week. So here I am a year...

    If I have a Sako extractor installed on a Remington bolt, will that affect headspace? Or would I have to rechamber/rebarrel the action to the new modified bolt?

    Gunsmithing Need some technical help here with headspacing – Stiller Actions using a Remage Barrel

    A little background first. For some time now I’ve wanted to build a custom 221 Fireball Repeater, but they haven’t been known to operate smoothly. Essentially, a standard Remington bolt, because of it’s extractor location, drags the spent case along the action lug where it usually pops off the...

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Clark Fay before?

    I sent him a barrel and action about 6 months ago for what should have been a 30 day turn around. I've been calling for months and haven't been able to get through to anyone. Curious if anyone's heard from him lately? Or maybe if someone has an alternate contact number for him?

    Getting some display issues.

    Likely completely coincidental, but after the TR lawsuit threads started taking off I've been having connectivity and display issues with the website. The forum directories display fine, but when I view individual posts something crazy starts going on. Any thoughts?

    Rifle Scopes Lowest profile 20 moa one piece base?

    It seems like every time I pick up a one piece 20 moa base, even after mounting a scope in low rings, a good cheek weld has me looking below the scope. Below is a sample picture. The base is an Xtremem Hardcore Gear (stupidest company name ever, but if it works I'll be happy) base, with Warne...

    Gunsmithing How about an AI 223 bobsled?

    I know that there were AI magazine bobsleds made for 308 sized rounds, but why not a 223 one? Are the AI magazine dimensions something that someone could put in a CNC and spit out a feel prototypes for the 223?

    Gunsmithing Tikka T3 for a custom build?

    I'm curious if anyone's built on a Tikka T3, or can recommend someone who can? Was there much truing work done to the action? Did you switch to a standard recoil lug? What diameter barrel fits best to the receiver? Thanks in advance.
