    Gunsmithing Finally Got a Lathe of My Own

    I have donated a lot of reamers to the community pot. Every time I want a new caliber, I buy the reamer and leave it at my buddies. It's a small price to pay for chambering, truing and muzzle brake install. I can't say it'll be cheaper for me to own a lathe, but I've always wanted one...

    Gunsmithing Finally Got a Lathe of My Own

    If anyone has any tooling laying around that I may need PM me the detail and price. I have been looking for a lathe for awhile now and the stars finally aligned. I bought it dirt cheap, within 30 miles and it came with a few extras. Its covered in grime, but it looks like it wasn't...

    My New Stick

    I did put it together myself. My buddy has a lathe. I like the black bolt and stainless action, but was a little undecided about doing the black barrel and stainless brake. I really like it though. It came together well.

    My New Stick

    Its a sweet stock. It balances nice, especially for being so lightweight. Stock color is Durcoat Tactical Extreme Gray with some Tactical Black flecks.

    New 300 RUM Build

    My bro in law got bit by the bug from me sending him pictures of my guns and long range shooting. He "commissioned" me to put a gun together for him...gave me no budget. He just wanted it to be big, nasty and loud. I did all of the threading and chambering on my buddies lathe (with his...

    Reveal between barrel and stock tutorial

    I dont know if this has been covered, but here is my take on how to "clean" up the reveal between your barrel and stock I recently rechambered a gun with a smaller contour barrel and I had a large, uneven gap between the barrel and the stock. I know this is only aesthetic, but I like my guns...

    Pulled the trigger on my first custom build! I'm Pumped!

    Here is a link for a brake ROSS SCHULERS PAGE I have used several of Ross Schulers brakes and they are wonderful. A very close design to a Holland brake, but its a 3rd of the cost. You will be hard pressed to find another brake for this price, let alone a better brake period.

    Unburned Powder in Barrel

    I just put together a 6.5x47 and took it to the range today. I loaded up some lighter loads of Varget (36 grains) and 123 Amax just to put some shots through it. I shot a few out of a brand new barrel and then cleaned it up. I noticed some unburned powder when I ran a patch through it...It...
