Here is a barrel I threaded last night for a SilencerCo Sparrow. I set the GoPro up to test out a new suction cup mount... worked pretty well! Video has been sped up considerably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBiBPp7cXf0
I have a customer looking to get an AK and an SKS threaded 5/8-24. Does anyone here work on pressed-together guns or have any suggestions? I have no problems with the threading, its just getting them apart and back together that I don't have the proper tools for.
What manufacturers do you guys use for your stencils? What about caliber markings, do you order a sheet of the most common on green / gold and make the odd ball stencils on UV reactive blue stencils? Have you found that certain manufacturers or stencil types perform better with the "deep etch"...
What do others here recommend for freebore on a .243 Ackley Improved shooting mostly heavier (95gr SMK) bullets? I plan to try 107s in it seated a little deeper and maybe some of the little varmint grenade stuff (with a jump to the lands) for fun / pdogs. Will be feeding from an AICS through a...
Hey guys, thought I would check in with some pictures of my first completed rifle. It took a few months working on it nights and weekends (and even then only when I could squeeze some time in). Thanks for all of the valuable information you guys provide! If you would like to see more...
Does anyone know where I could pick up a new-style Remington 700 extractor for a .470 bolt face locally (near Wylie, TX)? I was planning on shooting my recent .260 build over the Thanksgiving break, but realized that I forgot to order a new extractor.
What kind of magnetic stands do you guys find yourselves reaching for most often for your dial test indicators? I have been wanting to order a decent holder (using a regular magnetic base for dial indicators sucks bad) with a fine adjustment.
Hey guys... first of all, know that I'm no Chad Dixon or anything (my camera skills suck and I am using an 8MP cellphone camera), but I figured I should take a few pictures of my first time cutting on an actual firearm and not making tooling, fixtures or other not-as-cool-stuff. Yesterday I...
Do you guys have a source for old take offs (doesn't matter the condition) for cheap / free to practice on? I am getting ready to chamber my first barrel and it would be nice to have an actual barrel to practice on instead of a 1" piece of 4140. At least I would have something that I could...
I decided to make a knife as a wedding gift for a very good friend... this is my first time to attempt any kind of upholstery. Despite a few spots of epoxy seeping through (I assume there is better glue for this purpose?), it turned out half way decent. The blade is ground from Japanese...
Hey guys, Before my grandfather passed away about a month ago we went through most of his old belongings and found what was left of his WW2 things. He still had his old SSgt uniform, discharge paperwork and some of his coins and other small things. I took a few M1 Garands to let him handle a...
Although the numbers might seem a bit off at points and I'm not 100% sure of how he conducted his sampling of the data he collected, it is definitely a good read! One point I got out of this article is that regardless of which caliber you choose to carry - the criminal generally loses his...
Hey guys, I installed a Remington 700 bolt knob this weekend and since I don't have access to a mill, I decided to give it a try free-handing it on my BurrKing. I was able to hold 1/1000" of an inch finishing it out with fine grit sandpaper and the die cut the threads just perfect. For anyone...
Hey guys, I have been reading threads on this forum a long time, and there is quite a pile of amazing knowledge here! Thanks again for such a great forum. I am interested in getting some longer distance shooting time on the range, and was wondering if anyone here shoots in North Texas (DFW...
