    SR-25

    Re: SR-25 I was interested to read this thread. I was considering getting a SR-25. I have a Knights Armament SR-15e3, and I really like it. I might just stick with my bolt action 308's.

    Gunsmithing Douglas barrels.

    Re: Douglas barrels. I have a hunting rifle with a Douglas Blued Barrel. It shoots just fine for what I use it for. Not that I shoot it too often. The only time I shoot it at the range is to sight it in prior to a hunt, and I have only shot factory loaded hunting Ammo through it. I couldn't...

    Re: Shilen barrels are second to none "Sorry, I don't "enderstand", just a dumb ole gunsmith I guess hahahahah This is possibly one of the stupidest things posted thus far in this thread. I have found that engineers are some of the most arrogant and difficult to deal with people. Didn't know...

    Gunsmithing Shilen barrels are second to none

    Re: Shilen barrels are second to none As Banshee says about machining accurately. Consistancy in machining is everything. At one of my fathers machine shops we would machine hundreds of tons of Stainless Steel every year. Mostly 431 and 440C. The 431 we would by from multiple suppliers; it...

    Accuracy International rifles everywhere on GB

    Re: Accuracy International rifles everywhere on GB It looks like many of the postings on Gunbroker are from SRT Supply. They sell here in the Commercial Vendor Section. I guess they must have just taken delivery of a batch from AI. Mr Bubbles, welcome to the forum, and congratulations on the...

    Let's see those RAD camo pics

    Re: Let's see those RAD camo pics I resently purchased a HTG ADJ stock from McMillan. It was 33% Dark Tan, 33% Med Tan, 33% Olive. The same combo as HateCA has on his A5's. It looked darker than HateCA's stocks do in the photos. HateCA do yours look darker in real life than in the photos?

    Gunsmithing Shilen barrels are second to none

    Re: Shilen barrels are second to none I see a lot of Shilen Barrels here in Texas. Mostly on Benchrest Rifles. They seem to be well respected. It could be that Shilen is the "local" producer. I also believe there is some truth to what Thunderbolt said about the relationship between the...

    Gunsmithing Machinist question

    Re: Machinist question Like CDiPrecision said people who are machining Aluminum all day use carbide/PCD tooling running on high speed spindles. I have personally seen both Magnetic Bearing and Air Bearing Spindles used for machining Aluminum. These were running a 40-60,000rpm, and up to 60hp...

    Gunsmithing anone use 6al/4v titanium for custom action

    Re: anone use 6al/4v titanium for custom action John F is right; Titanium is not that exotic or hard to machine. The high Nickel Alloys are real pigs to machine. As a teenager I remember working in one of my fathers machine shops during a college holiday. There was one product that required...

    Gunsmithing WTK Turning down a Carbon Fiber barrel

    Re: WTK Turning down a Carbon Fiber barrel The only reason I could see for wanting to do this is to mount a suppressor on the barrel. The suppressor extending to the rear of the mount over barrel, and the heavy contour of the Carbon wraped barrel interfearing with its mounting.

    Gunsmithing 6.5x47 Lapua, need a good smith...

    Re: 6.5x47 Lapua, need a good smith... for the 1-8.5 twist that you have, 130's are about as heavy as you want to go. The 1-8.5 is better for lighter bullets and shorter ranges. A 1-8 twist is better for 140's and heavier bullets for longer ranges. In regards to a gunsmith, I would prefer to...

    Gunsmithing AR trigger

    Re: AR trigger I had a RRA with the NM 2-Stage trigger. It was pretty good for a factory std trigger. I have used Gieselle, Chip McCormick and KAC triggers that were all superior to the RRA, but significantly more expensive. The Chip McCormick is the easiest to fit. The KAC was the most...

    Gunsmithing Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel?

    Re: Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel? For a Rock barrel in 6.5mm shooting a 142 SMK bullet i would go with a 1 in 8 twist rate. 1 in 8.5 is fine for lighter bullets, but for the 142 SMK you need the 1 in 8. The heavier bullets and faster twist rate perform better at longer ranges. Though you...

    Re: Spiral fluting of barrels "patent infringement my backside! how do you "patent" a common engineering process????" I have to agree with Emouse on this one. Spiral or Helical fluting is a common engineering process. EW Shaws patent was only granted in 1999. I have an enginerring book...
