    Annealing: Salt Bath vs Flame/Torch method

    The Annie annealer is quite reasonable. http://www.fluxeon.com/Annie.html. Shameless plug. No flames. Very repeatable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rifle Scopes Burris rebate finally came

    Which magnification Tango 4 scope did you have? With these kind of prices, i tend to go with experience, a friend had an XTR and let me try it - it had a nice eyebox for me. Some one should provide a rental service for these things....like trying on a suit first.

    Gunsmithing Feeding issues w/ new rifle

    Looks like the bottom metal was inletted too deep. That is why the mag doesn't lock in - the bolt or receiver is limiting how far upwards you can push. Does the mag freely latch with just the bottom metal? Try putting a washer between pillar and bottom metal to get the right height. This...

    Gunsmithing Source for Remington Socket Cap Screws (1/4-28)

    Make sure you get beveled/tapered heads in them so it can accommodate tilt in the bottom metal. I'd go the brownells route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Trued threads in a remage build? Having issues with my build

    It's supposed to be a class 3a/b fit for the barrel. If you want to go Remage style get a stiller or defiance action that is true to begin with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Bedding compound

    Devcon with steel tends to rust. +1 on marine Tex. The acraglass is a bit on the soft side. Check out Ernie the gunsmith - he sells a kit that you can do yourself. To me the DIY is the fun part. And the most utilitarian rifle is often not the best looking rifle Sent from my iPhone...

    Gunsmithing Cutting weight on a rifle

    The problem is the MTU profile. That's a truck axle. I find the Remington varmint and med to light Palma contours the best balance between weight and stability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing BC Flip ups too tight

    Butlers were great back in the day. But now you have more choices. I like the vortex ones since they are a little more elastic and grippier. I've had the butlers fall off due to recoil and had to use tactical tape to keep it there. Sanding is okay but go slow. The inside is already quite...

    Gunsmithing KMW logger head

    I cut the cheek piece out with a wood handsaw. Go slow. I also used two aluminum angle plate as vice jaws - this way the jaws set the line as i cut across horizontally. I messed up a bit and had a "thicker kerf" as Terry said. I lost about 0.15" of material but it doesn't matter - I was...

    Found place that has Sig SSG3000 magazines for sale

    STR = Scandinavian Target Rifle...i'd try to call Roedale or any of the Scandinavian suppliers? SIG needs to support this rifle, or else their reputation is going down the toilet. The build quality is awesome on this rifle.

    Gunsmithing KMW logger head

    Installation on a Grayboe stock. Notice how the back end of the stock is hollowed in the manufacturing process. Has any one filled this us with construction foam? I'm an amateur and the hardest part was cutting out the cheek piece straight. Need a band saw with wire blade. Sent from...

    Aftermarket stock options for Tikka T3

    The GRS berserker has a nice feature to it. But it is too flexible still. They need a full fiberglass fore end. This will make it easier to inlet for larger barrels too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Want experiences from Whiskey 3 Gen 5 owners

    I had a X-ray. Similar angles and could not get comfortable on my shooting hand. It's a wanna be thumbhole. It felt awkward for me. I personally take a liking to AR type butt stocks. Adjusting LOP quickly for various positions. Prone and kneeling are two extremes. Sent from my...
