    Gunsmithing Can a Remington 788 be converted to m16 or Sako extractor.

    Here's a couple pics of extractor. I also managed to salvage a SS fluted Rem barrel that had a bad chamber by cutting off chamber and making a barrel nut for it. That was my only choice since the shoulder was no longer large enough. Turned the gun into a .222 for shits and grins. Functioned...

    Gunsmithing Can a Remington 788 be converted to m16 or Sako extractor.

    I had a Rem 788 in 223 do the same exact thing a few years ago. Broke a chunk off the same way. I installed a Tubb/Sako style extractor and it worked great. Straight forward milling job. I don't see why you couldn't do it on your 6mm. They're easier to do on 788s without the lugs in the way...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Yes the Burris scopes are good. Their SCR retical is great. I think they are the best valve in 34mm tube scopes.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I don't actually make the entire knob I modify and thread the factory knob. Mine are actually threaded and capped with 416SS ends and then machined to final finish. Makes for a sleeker, cleaner looking knob I think. I got tired of all the big gawky gear shifter knob that everybody is selling. I...

    Love my Tikkas! I make my own bolt knobs though. Tired of the same ol option out there.

    Gunsmithing lathes

    The one cuts better than the other theory is BS. You are opening up a big can of worms with this debate. It's a major Ford versus Chevy thing. If you ask an old die hard American Iron machinist he'll tell you to go three phase and mortgage your house to pay for a US machine and wire your house...

    Can a Savage be made into a competent tactical gun?

    So true about the barrel. At the time it was a Benchmark, 3groove 1:8twist, 28" and 1" at the muzzle. Action was a PTA Dual Port.

    Can a Savage be made into a competent tactical gun?

    QUOTE=tylerw02;3038213]DID if you have quarter MOA savage rifles you better take up bench rest and start kicking ass. Hell, you could probably be an FClass champ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk First place and second place taken by my Savage 243AI at two separate IBS600yd...

    Reloading press induced runout?

    Nobody mentions the shell holders when talking presses. Doesn't anybody ever realize that the case "floats" in the shell holder?? If you guys are chasing "run out" in a single stage press and using any major manufacture's shell holder, you are chasing your own tails. I have Redding, Hornady...

    Gunsmithing Question: Hermes Engraver for barrel markings: which bit

    Mine was originally a "flatbed type". I drilled and tapped the corners for some "legs"(bolts) to raise it up high enough for barrels. Then I just mounted some aluminum angle to the vise plates to hold the barrel in alignment. The legs allow for different material heights. Works really well.

    Gunsmithing Devcon vs acraglass

    Plus 1 for accurglass gel. No runny mess and just as good of results. Also comes with brown and black dye.

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Cup 2014 is there a thread?

    Has any COF details been worked out yet? I can only fit in a couple shoots a year and don't want to waste my time crawling thru culverts when I could be shooting. Trying to decide which match might have more shooting versus jumping around. I was able to watch some of last years shooting and...

    Lee Collet Neck sizing die

    Lee neck dies are great. I too have had the same results with the Redding dies. I load a lot of different rounds and every time I pull down my "nice set" of Redding dies I end up asking myself, "I paid how much for this?!." Some of my Lee collet dies have been machined a little rougher than...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Cup 2014 is there a thread?

    Hope you don't move it to North of Denver. Nothing but flat land there. Might as well just go to the range. Just my two cents. I'd come if it was in Douglas again.
