    Gunsmithing 40hp Rotary Phase Converter Startup

    That's going to leave a "Carbon Foot Print". Does California have that much electricity to spare?

    Gunsmithing Hard Cocking rifle? Please help

    You are feeling the firing pin spring. When the cocking piece/firing pin is being held back by the trigger sear any forward movement of the bolt compresses the firing pin spring. This is the same compression that would happen if the bolt was closed and pulled forward or up the closing cams in...

    Gunsmithing Hard Cocking rifle? Please help

    It sounds like it has some cocking on close. Meaning the cocking piece on the back of the firing pin is picking up on the trigger sear a little early. The bolt is pulling forward on the closing cams in the front of the action thus giving the firing pin more fall (or more cocking). Jon Beanland...

    Gunsmithing SBR Laser Engraving - San Antonio TX

    ATF requires a minimum depth of .003" which can be easily obtained with the right laser. I believe a YAG laser is best for metals where the Co2 laser is better for wood and fiber. Some times multiple passes are required to get the depth desired.

    Colorado members, I need your help!

    CRC - Colorado Rifle Club Home has a 1000 yard range. It's a great club but being near Buyers, Co. it is probably a little far. They have a great steel prairie dog match each month. The NRA Whittington Center in Raton, NM. is great also. Again a bit far and again they have a great steel match...

    How would you correct this?

    If the better half is that pissed I could help you out by giving you a couple dollars for that thing in front of your scope. Your optics alignment would be cured and you could then take the little lady out for nice dinner. Problem solved. Just trying to help.

    Interest in an aftermarket Savage pattern short action?

    I did make a small run of Bighorn short actions with Savage small shank threads. I still have a few around if anyone is interested. AJ

    Jewell triggers are pussies

    I've used them hard and put them away wet and never had a problem with them. It's most likely the owner that's where the problems come from.

    Rifle Scopes Two new March scopes

    Tod You just keep throwing a few "High Right" and I might just be able to beat you at one of these matches. I don't have time to practice so I have to just buy something that's going to make me shoot better. That does work doesn't it? AJ

    Rifle Scopes Two new March scopes

    I got to look one over pretty good at Shot and was very impressed with the positive adjustment clicks. The scope was bright and clear. The MOA reticle was nice. I was impressed enough I ordered one on the spot. And you can't deal with a better person or company than Jim's. I'm looking forward to...

    Gunsmithing Crush washers

    What you really want is a "Peel Washer". TBAC (Thunder Beast Arms Corp) sells them for their brakes. It is a washer that is made of thin shims that can be peeled off to get to the thickness you need.

    Catastrophic Failure

    Bolt actions and their operations are not some mysterious contraptions that defy logic. It is clearly shown in the OPs photo above that the pressure vessel (brass) failed just above the bolt head. The photo also clearly shows that the primer was not flattened. Pressure inside the case would be...

    Catastrophic Failure

    1st: Thank God you weren’t hurt any worse than you were. 2nd: Several people have stated the obvious problem was non supported case between the bolt and the barrel. This would be fairly easy to prove with a few measurements. The easiest way without disassembling or altering the rifle is to buy...

    Gunsmithing Whats your dream lathe

    Mine would be a Hardinge HLVH tool room lathe that was stretched to 40" between centers and having 1.75" through the spindle. With the inch metric gear box. You would think with as much steel as I have fed through the one I have had since it was a pup it would of grown up by now.
