Any of you guys looking for a Grizzly clone - there is one for sale in the Houston craigslist. GML-1640HD Metal Lathe Appears to be identical to the big Griz gunsmith lathe, without all the extra features Shiraz puts on it, like spiders etc. Price is good too.

BIL scored a nice old 1911 today, a Remington Rand, made in 1917. I haven't seen it yet, but at the price he paid, he did very well, even if it turns out that some of the parts aren't matched. Has spent the last fifty plus years in a dresser drawer apparently. Doesn't appear to be...

I looking for a source for a couple hats, covered in bug mesh ( soaked in permethrin or DEET would be nice, but not required ), for a trip to Alaska later this summer. Not having a lot of success finding one that looks like it would work, in stock. Could anyone point me in the right...

Spent a few hours yesterday finishing this up. It's going to be a LR bench gun, chambered in 338 Lapua, set up as a single shot, although action is a repeater, and have the bottom metal in the box still.. McMillan Tooley MBR stock - surplus, originally inlet was for something else, so it was...

OK, started this project a few months ago, bought a XL Surgeon action, ordered a long heavy 338 barrel from Bartlien, and chambered it up. That went pretty good, until I test fit a round in it and couldn't close the bolt. After a few minutes head scrathing, figured out that Surgeon sent a...

Well the weather just plain sucked here today, misty wet crap. So I did the thing that I usually put off, other than cleaning the garage, and trimmed/prepped 6PPC brass for BR rifles. I know this is usually not in the gunsmithing section, but I am offering it here, as so much of a good BR gun...

Leaving for Africa tomorrow, going to shoot a big ole elephant! Other things on list are Kudu, a couple different Zebra's, and who knows what else. My PH and I were Skyping last week, he says, "Mike, we have to make a small change in plan. It will cost you 30 minutes more flight time each way...

OK it is a little off topic, but lots of the "craftsman" folks see this lil part of the forum. Thought ya'll might like to see this. Was supposed to go to the ranch this weekend, work and other stuff kept me in town til late yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, good friend and associate, mentioned...

Opened a new facility this month. Hired three different employees, one took his drug test, was "headed right over to start", never showed up. Next guy, worked 3 1/2 days, no show after that, terminated him - HE FILED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS!!!!! Major Sucker of Cock as far as I see! One...

With the interest in the axis in the other thread, I'll share a few pics from the ranch. Also have a few of.. uh.. other stuff around.... Hardest thing these days is finding the time to be there enough to enjoy it. Had a feeder invaded by a racoon this last weekend. We were picking up...

Having a new daughter myself, and at about the same age as the Duke, I got this today and was moved to share it with ya'll.. God Bless the Duke.

Yeah, what a deal... Doc didn't like sumpthing on the heart electricity chart. No booze, no coffee, caffeine or the like for three weeks. No ceegars either. I don't wanna say life is not worth living, because mine is blessed and good. But I will miss these things in the short term...... May...

Okay after lots of stop start and delays, I'd like to share a couple projects I finished. The first was mainly done by Lex at Rifles Inc in Pleasanton. It's a 308, started life as a cutdown 243 for the kids long ago. Well, I was planning a trip to Aussie land to shoot kangaroos and started by...

Gentlemen, First time fitting an AICS with a short Surgeon 591. My difficulty is, when fitting the magazine, the forward ( muzzle ) end of the mag is hitting under the feed ramp, cocking it, preventing the latch from engaging. The aft end of the mag sometimes hits the bolt if you try to cycle...
