    22 Rimfire barre choices/recommendations

    I slug a lot of 22cal blanks and i like Shilen ratchet. Mueller as well if you can get one. Benchmark usually slug out well also Krieger and Bartlein are good if they are perfect from one end to the other. Some are not and they dont taper lap their barrels. The Nevius is a solid reamer as...

    PTG 40x repeater action

    I received the very first PTG 40x repeater action from Dave several months ago. I checked it all out and it was actually true in all dimensions that i could measure. within .0003 anyway. I had some issues with the extractors on my particular action but i had some that ended up working...

    Foundation Stocks - people are bedding?

    Not sure how old this post is but for what im gonna say it really doesn't matter much. I build a lot of high quality 22LR here in my shop and i always bed! I read a couple statements above about not needing to bed MPA chassis. All i can add is that for a 22lr you better bed that MPA! I...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths thoughts on a Bartlein 5R

    I guess the one main thing that I don't care for about a 5R is that when I go to insert my long stem indicator into the throat it can be a real bitch trying to dial the dam thing in that last little bit. I can get them close with a gordy type rod but I always like to use my indicator for the...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths thoughts on a Bartlein 5R

    Frank Green from Bartlein has said here many times that he really sees no gain from a 5R barrel but that they make them because people want them. I guess I'm not so different than a lot of other guys. We get an idea in our minds and some can be hard to overcome. I love bartlein barrels but the...
