I just found the link on Gun Brokers, that's a heck of deal. I used to live close to Mike Lau when his shop/garage was in the Dallas area. He was my go to gunsmith when I needed work done on one of my rifles. Great guy and his work is first class. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1042370450

After many email requests I thought I'd repost the research I did on barrel break-in procedures. In addition I also added a short overview on Internal Ballistics 101 to help tie everything together. This has been posted on many shooting boards over...

WTS like new Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 Illuminated FireDot Duplex Scope. Like new, no ring marks and in excellent condition. Box lost in our move. $775.00

Just an FYI, not all custom barrels are hand-lapped. The barrel of choice for Chad Dixon at LongRifles Inc are KP Barrels. KP barrels have ruled the .50 cal competitions for decades. Then they branched out into all the other calibers. They don't hand-lap their barrels as they don't see a...

Not all cleaning rods are the same. The coated ones from Dewey and Tipton are safe on a bore. The stainless steel ones and the ones you screw together in sections along with the type of tips can do damage. I stay away from anything stainless steel (rods & tips) going down my bore. I use...

The barrel diameter where the suppressor attaches is .730 then it turned down to .680 until it hits the gas port area of the barrel which is ,750. He turned a bushing/shim and split in half but it just didn't keep the front sight from turning when tightened down. We'll get this figured out. My...

Thank you for your offer. Actually my smith is overseas on business. When he gets back he's got another idea to try and if that doesn't work he'll trim the aluminum tape, make sure nothing has squeezed out and repaint the whole barrel. I'm not blaming him in the least as he's tried a bunch of...

It's not that it's bad it's more of a modification we made to the new MK12 Mod 0 and wanted it to match. No one makes a 300 Blk Out barrel in a .750 diameter behind the the threads for the suppressor. The front sight for the MK12 Mod 0 is .750 my particular barrel is .680 which has a taper...

Finally got the 300 Blk Out Mk 12 Mod 0 completed. Took it out to the range this morning for the testing. Supersonic loads loads shoot .75" moa at 100 yards. The 208 gr Hornady AMAX sub sonic loads shoot a hair under 1 moa which blew my mind. Wow is it accurate with both super and sub sonic...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to touch up Cerecote Dark Earth without sending the barrel to my smith to be completely redone?

I agree with everyone that says take it out and shoot and see how it shoots. Having said that, recoil lugs come in lots of different sizes and shapes. The recoil lug on your rifle now might sit a tad deeper into the stock pressing into the bottom of the bedding causing the action to flex when...

As always nice work, however I have a question, in your brief discription it reads "Little machine work, little beddin, little paint" I don't see any paint or is that part II?

I'm not a fan of stripping any bore down to the bare metal as you remove the burnish that helps prevent metal to metal contact. A little copper filling in the micro grooves is a good thing, a lot of copper in the bore not so good. When it comes to copper removal KG-12 stands alone. I've seen...

Chad, Looks great can't wait til it arrives and I get it out to the range. I'm sure it will shoot lights out like my Tikka you built. As always excellent work my friend!

I can honestly say I've never seen a barrel rifled before. I've read a lot on the subject over the years but had never witnessed the machining process and in my mind had formulated a vision of how I thought it was done. After watching the video I have to say what I had pictured in my mind was...

Icedragonmx, I like it! Very nice mounting system.

wigwamitus, Many thanks for all your advice and input as it was very helpful!
