Has anyone here used the CDI bottom metal for a mauser? I am interested how it worked out.

I have a Mauser receiver that I bought for Numrich. It is suggest that I heat treat after final machining. I have email a few local companies for quotes and haven't heard anything. I suspect because it is a receiver that they may not want to get involved. Anybody out there know a business that...

I know this isn't a traditional AK site, but I know there is some real intelligent people around here, so here is my problem. I have a MAK 90 parts kit with original barrel. Once assembled I checked headspace, which I have done with a few other kits I have built and never had a problem, but this...

I has a 300 blackout with a 10" noveske barrel. I'm trying to get an accurate subsonic load. The load I'm working with is 220 sierra round nose prohunter with 11.5grs 1680. At 25yds it will put 5 shots in the size of a quarter. I then put my 762 SD on and it is 10 plus inches to the right and...

Are the recievers the same? Besides the placement of the safety is the trigger the same? Would a M995 rebarreled and in a Whiskey Chassis be very close to a TRG? Thanks for your input

Is the sako M995 the same reciever as the trg? Besides the safety is the trigger the same?

Would a 10 twist 7mm stablize the 162 amax? How about 168 vlds? Thanks

I think some here might hold patents on firearm related things. I am a home hobby machinist and have something I thing alot of people here might like. It is an upgrade to an accessory for a rifle we all know and love. I feel it is something that would "sell" and before showing it, or even taking...

I have a 284 barrel with an 8 twist for a .284 or 7WSM or 7mm rem mag build. With a fast twist like that, am I going to limit myself to only the really heavy bullets, or will I still be able to shot 162 amax?

I have a Knight's free float forearm that is already put on an upper. I am not familiar with it and trying to switch it over to another upper. Can I screw it off with a strap wrench, or is there something else needed?

I got lucky about a year ago and was asked to clean out a deceased gunsmith's shop that was in the basement of his house that was going up for sale. He had many military pieces from the civil war up to Vietnam. It was quite a learning experience. He seemed to like Mauser and Springfield snipers...

I have a TRG42 300 WM with a cyclone on the end. It does a nice job, but is it strong enough for the magnum. I have called AAC and asked them, to which they stated if the barrel is over 24" (which it is) it should be ok, but they haven't tested enough to know. This is a older cyclone and has...

A friend of mine has a Mauser bolt that he wants to clean up the face and open it up to a magnum. He cleaned the face with a carbide bar, but when he tried to open it up he said it would just whine and chatter. He has asked me to try on my lathe, but I have never opened one up before. Any...

I am inching to do a 260 AR10 build and like the idea of the side charging upper. I am interested if anyone has used American Spirit Arms upper receiver. Did you like it? How hard was it to machine the colt carrier to work?

I am wanting to do a precision AR build for target and deer hunting. Suppression is a must and I don't want the barrel longer than 20, would like 18. Lighter the better, and this is for no longer than 600 yds. I am thinking the grendal fits the bill. The two things I am still up in the air about...

I was finishing a barreled action today and for some reason part of it got runny. I wiped of the excess and let it dry. My question is, can I sand blast that area and respray, or do I have to start over?

I saw on their website they have a 34mm 20moa scope mount for the TRG and AI. It has a built in level for cant that can be supplied with tritum, which is pretty cool. So my question is has anybody used this? What do you think? Does this connect to the receiver or do you still need rails? I am...

I posted in the WTT/WTB section, but I figured I would try here also. I have a TRG42 in 300wm that I would like the factory barrel rethreaded 5/8x24 for FTE brake and can. Would also like barreled action duracoated if possible, if not thats ok. Would like a 2 week turn around. I will send only...

I have a TRG42 with the older bolt that I believe is polished steel, but could be chrome. My question is, has anybody out there duracoated one, and if so did you blast, sand, or what?

I need, or want to touch up some duracoat on my surgeon bolt. I was going to strip and sandblast the whole bolt. Is this ok or should I tape and not blast the lugs?
