    Gunsmithing Bolt lifts hard

    Re: Bolt lifts hard OK, if there is no FOD in the chamber/lug abutment area and the bolt is functioning properly then I would have to place a bet on the front action screw heating up and interfering with the bolt operation. Whatever you find out, let us know...this is a good one!

    Gunsmithing Bolt lifts hard

    Re: Bolt lifts hard You have been "doing a lot of shooting...barrel heats up..." As a suggestion, when your rifle is "room temperature" try chambering a cross section of your reloads. Is there any considerable difference? If so mark those that are rather tight. Shoot and see if it gets...

    Plastic Dust/dirt Rifle Case/Protection?

    Re: Plastic Dust/dirt Rifle Case/Protection? Bingo! The Codura has been tried in different designs and it got coated in dirt and it became part of the problem. I have tried some denim lined with goat leather and after a couple of trips to the field, opening/closing the bolt would make your...

    I have a rifle that I took the sling off and removed the sling screws. Now it looks dorky or "somethings missing" type deal. Has anyone turned some simple but handsome escutcheons with any success? Any photos, ideas, suggestions, instructions, etc? Wally
