    My 427 blower motor project.

    A few moments where I depreciate the value of my neighborhood. Living amongst senior citizens has its advantages during times like this, as most are deaf as a post. The data log reveals some interesting stuff. Idle lands around 1050rpm once it warms up. A 0-100% throttle whack sends the...

    Gunsmithing Ruger M77 stock inletting

    Ever since bigger stock companies have "trimmed the fat" for stock inlets, the tempo here has gone bezerk. This is our "bedding ready" inlet for the M77 action from Ruger. It's now a std service. The receiver surfaces are offset by +.05" so that the resin casting isn't paper-thin in some...

    Gunsmithing M16 extractor conversion to BAT Machine bolts.

    This week we converted some Bat Machine-made bolts to M16 style. I am so grateful to have the machining resources I do here. This would have been nearly impossible to do otherwise. These began life as a T slot type extractor with a .545" diameter magnum bolt face. We converted them to .480"...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    The short block was zipped up over the weekend. The top end comes next. Were hoping to rattle dust out of the ceiling tiles soon.

    Gunsmithing EH5 into an EH5A. Cheek Piece stuff...

    First, gut the back end to remove the light weight foamy stuff. Hardware won't attach to it very well. Next, light weight filler. Tom@Manners sold me a box of his light weight filler material years ago. Whips up like instant spuds. Once it cures, in the mill to be cut: With two...

    Kidd 1022 stock job...

    Mcmillan 54.18 blank is where this started. This is a "double lug" 1022 made by Kidd. I had no archive data on this action so I started by modeling up the receiver. You'll see in the photos where the grunt work was tested first on a piece of 4x4 cribbing. I brought one my rifles in as a...

    This one is a present for someone close to me. As a teen, I spent my summers working on a big grain farm in North Dakota. The owner is more of a Dad to me than mine ever was. He has a birthday coming up and I felt the urge to try and say thank you. I chambered it in 6.5mm Creed. It works...

    BO2013 Mars rail. (meh?)

    The odds of me ever making another one of these is likely zilch. It was fun to design and program so all is good. This has 20moa built into it as well. I have a mess of legit zero moa MARS rails so I skipped making the side mount base pieces.

    Maggie’s Blowing whistles OR...?

    8 hour drive yesterday, so I popped on the podcast about the Biden IRS whistleblower hearing. Dear Whistleblower guy: 99% of Americans can give two shits about whether you blow whistles or skin flutes at night in your own home in your own bed. Your 5-minute dissertation about how gay you are...

    M40 scope base project by LRI

    We've been hinting around at this for the last few weeks. The artifact parts have arrived and I am about to start with the modeling work. I feel like I'm holding something from a Raiders of the Lost Arc movie. So it begins. I'll post some additional photos as I progress through the autopsy.

    XM-3 EFR Mounts.

    I threw this up a few days ago in the Bolt Action section. I wished I'd of listed it here as I failed to realize SH has a section devoted to this stuff. A friend gave me one of these original bases to reproduce. I ran the artifact piece through the metrology lab and was able to replicate...

    The Clone Wars... XM3 EFR Mount stuff

    I was approached about this XM3 stuff by an old friend who used to manage the Remington Custom Shop down the street from us. He brought me one of his personal EFR mounts to look at and possibly reproduce. If I understood him correctly, the story goes that Iron Brigade was originally tasked...
