Re: Ring lapping question The rings are rarely the problem, but rather the receiver inaccuracies that cause the misalignment that folks choose to solve by lapping. Rings and bases by their very nature are easier to maintain tight tolerance on during the manufacturing process than what is...

Re: starting an aero/space machine shop ? Been there done that......... Honestly, 200k is a drop in the bucket. You'd be ahead to get a job shop up and rolling or your own product line that you could move to a major distributor before you started going after ISO9001 certs. If you're up and...

Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? Carpenter is by far and away my mill of choice..... I've seen tool life improvements of up to 40% on the same cuts, with the same tools, but using 416 instead of 1215, 1018, or 12l14.

Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? I had a guy who worked for me that I was going to give an anvil to for Christmas, just to see if it would make it through New Years. They're out there among us...........

Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? Typically, in CNC situations, I'll leave .010-.020" for facing cleanup. That is dependent on the material that I'm running though and the geometry of the tool I'm using. Some tools need only .002" to make a nice finish in certain...

Re: cnc bolt handle threading Turn em till they burn, back off 1% and make a chip load that puts the heat in the chip, rather than the tool or workpiece. As long as the fixturing will hold up, most people are running too slow on steel and stainless machining. New coatings and substrates...

Re: PTG To clarify some of what has been said about Williams Firearms bottom metal, they are and remain the only true drop-in trigger guard for the Remington 700. They will have gaps if fitted into a McMillan stock and only a McMillan stock, if the stock was originally inletted for the...

Re: Lookig for Expert Riflesmith / Machinist I didn't see anything in regards to heat treating the receiver after the case hardening was removed in the blueprint process. This is the biggest reason a lot of top-end guys will steer away from the Mausers as well.

Re: Another entry into the Bad Idea Club. What really got it fired up was his holding down the button a couple of times prior to lighting her off. That was one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. "I can't smell anything"

Re: fellow hiders please read this and check it out Don't have a need for the bolt knobs, but seeings how we're practically neighbors, we should compare notes one of these days. My in-laws live at Crooked River Ranch, so I go out that way from time to time. I wish you the best of luck with...
