pin

Hey guys, I just picked up a new 14.5" pinned and welded AR upper. It showed up yesterday and I planned to throw an optic on it last night and test it out at the range today. Out of curiosity I looked at it with my borescope before doing anything with it. I'm glad I did. I'm not sure what went...

First post here guys, but i have been learning from you all for some time. I went out shooting today after about 6 shots i noticed a little smoke coming from the end of the bolt nearest my face. i pulled the spent brass and found this the hole in the primmer was real tight and round i took a...

today was the 4th time i have had a misfire from my rifle in less that 80 rounds. the rifle is a FN SPR A2. i bought it used with roughly 600 through it. all the loads have been my handloads. all cci br2 primers. the first 3 were in win brass and the one today was in virgin lapua. also with the...

Guys, I am pretty bent out of shape right now. Got all I need to assemble my first AR15 and wanted to shoot it for Father's Day next weekend. But, project halted because of a SunDevil lower receiver and there is little I can do about it, but to replace it (I think), with another brand. I...

I recently wrapped up a new 6.5x47 Lapua using a surgeon action. I purchased the s/a repeater ideal for a basic 308 build and already having the correct bolt face. I constantly had hot loads while developing a round for this rifle, even when using known light loads from another rifle. I was...

This is a well used Remington 700 with a total of around 7 thousand rounds thru it so I'm not complaining about the rifle, but I was getting some really odd results yesterday. It was piercing primers (which it has never done) and getting light primer strikes during the same day using ammo that...

Final fixture here, It is made of 1/4" 6061 T6 flat plate with angle bolted to it. Everything else was trial and error junk I made my own because I'm a cheap ass. It's really simple, I used two pieces of 2"x4"x1/8" aluminum angle from my shop, some scrap wood, and a piece of 1/2"...

The pin that holds the yoke that, in turn, holds the cylinder is broken. In the hole, I can see the pin and what seems to be a spring. How easy is this for me to repair? Im pointing at the rod with the grove that is held in by the little pin, with the oven thermometer.

I have a factory 700P in 300WM and a custom built on a 700 LA with a Callahan firing pin assembly. When dry firing, I notice that the factory firing pin assembly falls much harder than the Callahan and the the primers are dented more than any rifle I have. I would not really care but have...

I finally got all the parts and pieces to assemble my DPMS .308 SASS. After everything was put together, my bolt catch lever wouldn't depress and lock the bolt back. The DPMS lower takes a hex-head screw instead of the normal AR type roll pin to keep the bolt catch lever in place. Well, I...

Looking for a good reputable source for <span style="font-weight: bold">Win 70 pre '64 short</span>, parts. Are there a number of OEMs out there ? If so, which manufacture the finest products ? I haven't dealt with Numrich in years, are they still a thumbs up outfit ? I only want to buy it...

oh yeah

Is there an easy way to replace the firing pin spring in a Rem. 700 bolt. I have no problem removing the firing pin assembly from the bolt body using the edge of a desk or the shoestring method. If I remove the item (dime) in the slot it looks like it may be a bear to compress the spring to get...

I think my firing pin hole on one of my rem 700 is a bit big. It looks like the primers are crattering a bit. I know a lot of guys have the hole bushed, but does it really matter that much? Rifle seems to be shooting just fine, but if it will help accuracy i will get it fixed. What do you think...

I guess that I will need a set of pins that are mechanically held in. The rifle is a Bushmaster lower with RRA trigger group. Will I need to ream the RRA parts to install the JP pins? Are the KNS significantly better?

My factory protrusion length was 58 thou. My new aluminum firing pin protrudes 60 thou. What is the proper length it should protrude? Like I said, factory was 58 thou. I've installed a few aluminum firing pins and they were all between 53 and 60 thou, which is consistent with what the factory...
