    Gunsmithing The NEXT 50 build.

    Re: The NEXT 50 build. Your going to have to stop posting these. Eventually I'll have to buy something and then my wife will get mad and beat me with it. What did I ever do to you? Seriously though, I know how hard it is to get that smooth a coating when you bedding. It shows some serious...

    Gunsmithing Q on Provisional Patent application...

    Re: Q on Provisional Patent application... I think, and that's not worth much, a provisional patent buys you time to try and find someone to buy the idea. At least that's the jest of my conversation with a guy that holds a couple patents and is a inventor for money. Its protected but only...

    Tacticool .22 Build **pic heavy**

    Re: Tacticool .22 Build **pic heavy** Man I bought almost exactly the same thing and made a a5 style stock from scratch only using hand tools. I thought I was hot stuff until 5 min ago. Now I've got my tail between my legs. Great job with the china special. I am very impressed.

    Steel target idea, need opinions

    Re: Steel target idea, need opinions wouldn't that make auto reset harder, and make the bullets bounce sideways instead of down?

    Steel target idea, need opinions

    I was thinking of buying 2 1/2inch round targets one 12inch and one 6 or 8 inches. Have them stacked like a snowman from the shooters point of view and use this like a more advanced silhouette target. They would swing independent of each other. I could get them to both be angled down 15-20...

    expensive .22 scope?

    Re: expensive .22 scope? I actually called USO and it is true they will make whatever you want. They can make your adjustable parallax go down to 50 or even less and still be adjustable. This seems to me like the best option for someone who already runs a USO. Plus the customer service was...

    I F###ING HATE RUGER!!!

    Re: I F###ING HATE RUGER!!! Been there and done that with a steel hammer. First time I've ever struck a gun in anger. After 4-5 times it won't give you any trouble due to parts loosening up. The videos are helpful but be aware of where the parts are angled not just the angle the gun is...

    expensive .22 scope?

    Re: expensive .22 scope? So you can buy a USO on request that will go down to 25/50 yards? I don't remember seeing that as a option, just looked it up and its not there. And to be clear I see parallax adjustment a must for a good .22 scope. I agree that a copy of your other rifles scope...

    expensive .22 scope?

    I've read several threads about scopes along with cost and how they are always "good for the money". What would you use for a high end .22 trainer. That would fit the application well, not just expensive. But of course money not an object. Example: I have a uso st-10 but it won't focus down...

    375 Viersco Mag

    Re: 375 Viersco Mag This right here is the only reason I visit this sight. God only knows what kind of crazy crap you'll see or hear next. I applaud you for thinking outside the box. I bet you were the kid in kindergarten with the square peg and hammer.

    Re: Designing a Compensator. Any Input? please follow this through to the end with pics and range report. Will it be made of steel or titanium? I have thought about doing this a few times for fun but never have.

    Gunsmithing Devcon for texture

    Re: Devcon for texture Herculiner sounds good but don't do it. It won't last over the long term. Even with perfect prep of the surface. I can give you the story but instead I will say, that stuff is crud and won't stay long term on your truck or your gun.

    Gunsmithing Making a wood stock

    Re: Making a wood stock It will take tons of time. I"m almost finished with my first. When its done I'll post pics. I never found much that was useful. Youtube was my best info source. Found enough to get me started there. I'm doing all of mine with hand tools though so with power it...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle Break ? never seen asked

    Why thread the barrel then thread on the break. I know some are made to come off. But lots of them are made to blend in and aren't easily used with a suppressor. Seems like it would be quicker and more accurate to machine it with the barrel as one unit. The bullet would be supported the...

    Gunsmithing Norinco jw-15 as trainer now I need help

    I found my cheap bolt action 22 to use as a trainer. Now I was wondering how to make an A5 style stock for it on the cheap. I have seen some pics of basically cutting off the stock just past the trigger guard and inserting dowels and then adding wood the size you want and then working it down...

    Gunsmithing Thread Protector experiment....Pictures!

    Re: Thread Protector experiment....Pictures! I"m not a smith but I would say a cross hatch pattern would be the way to go. In black it would not be an eye sore, and it would make it much easier to take off. But then again I'm not the one paying for it.

    Grand River Tactical shooting mat/rifle case

    Re: Grand River Tactical shooting mat/rifle case I might add one or two more pockets on the sides of the other pocket, might be a little overkill for 3 in that place but I think 2 could be very useful without to much crap packed into that one end. You know now that I think about it maybe...

    DIY steel targets . . . continued

    Re: DIY steel targets . . . continued If you are looking for small pieces or a strip of metal 6 inch by 6 feet or so, an old road grader blade works well. They wear out pretty often from road work so just put the word in at the county office.
