A Rifle Builders Tool Box

I’ve been wanting to learn to build bolt action and ar15 style rifles as a side business. While I’ve already assembled several of both styles I’m aware there’s a few tools that I need for attaching and head spacing barrels to actions and things like that. I’m not going have a lathe for a WHILE so I guess I need to choose my actions wisely on the bolt action side? If someone with experience on the ins and outs of barreling and head spacing bolt actions and ar15 upper receivers I’d much appreciate a run down on the process and tool list required for the job? I’d like to gather the tools and as much experience as I can before I dive in to an FFL and all that jazz. (Side note: Should I just get a type 1 or should I go ahead and get a type 7 in case I do some “manufacturing” on accident?)

6,5x47 Lapua brass forming from...?

Hello to all,
now are a bad historical tyme for shooting and ammo reloading, components are too expensive or not availlable respect some years on the past...

The bad situation are more amplified for all the non "commercial" calibers like 6,5x47 Lapua.

100pcs of 6,5x47 Lapua now start from 145€ plus shipping, and other brand are more expensive than Lapua...

I tried to forming some .308 to x47 Lapua but more neck to form and trim are tedious ...., turning the neck need some extra stuff...
Parent case like .243 are the same...
22-250 are unvaillable from the range and the brand new are expensive like the 6,5x47 Lapua..
Remain the 6,5 Creedmoor, 2mm more on lenght maibe are not a problem for the neck thikness(?)

Can someone have tried to for an x47 Lapua case fro a 6,5 Creedmoor, with wath result?

I dont like buy some extra stuff only for shooting gong.

Regards, Camillo

Large Gun Safe

OK, looking into spending some money on a newSafe. Currently have one from tractor supply but with a pending divorce and my wife potentially keeping the house and me moving to a condo. I would just leave the Safe at her house and upgrade to get something better with stronger fireproof. What brands should I be looking at, is liberty as good as it used to be? Here’s what I currently have. I would like one at least this size or larger.
Don’t mind the homemade rosary beads for my grandmother who passed away a few years ago.

The perplexity of ar10 loads

I am currently running a 20" Wilson Super Sniper in 308 Win lately. It been amazing and is absurdly accurate. I also shoot a Seekins PWS MK218 which is another excellent rifle. Something I have noticed with both as I develop loads for them: Even factory 147 gr FMJ tend to have substantial ejector swipes and flattened primers. I was running Aguila today and all the casing are non-reloadable due to ejector peel marks, from both rifles. I tried some handloads I was working up for a bolt gun, a minimum charge of Varget, same thing. Is this a common issue with AR10s? I will admit I do not shoot mine often, its usually a 300blk or one of my bolt action rifles. It seems a waste of good brass.

Optics Iray mk2 rh50r thermal

This is the new compact unit from Iray, 50mm lens, 640 core, built in laser range finder and ballistics app, best of the best. 60hz refresh rate, this thing is sick. I’ve use a bunch and this has been my favorite. Better than the Halo XRF in my opinion. 3x base mag. It’s a little over a month old, perfect condition. Just selling because i i always change up units having a dealer connection.

I will consider trades of equal or greater value, i would prefer to get a nice bolt gun/comp style gun setup with 2500-3k cash. I’m easy to deal with though. I will ship overnight with tracking, have several vouchers, and can FaceTime, cell call, send a picture with a spoon on my bald head, whatever. Shoot me an offer. Cash price is firm firm. 5000$

Spotters Swarovski, vs Hensoldt, vs Kowa, etc

A buddy of mine is looking to get a set of great, not good, GREAT spotters.

Their use will be for ELR, over 2000 yards.




****** The first and most important requirement is to have a Mil reticle available. That's not negotiable.



Second, is a binocular type of eye piece. If available.



This is where the problems start.

Swarovski and Kowa both make fantastic bino style spotters.

Kowa.
What can I say? Great glass, big, stable, various mags available for eye pieces.
And, you can in theory, mix and match if you want to go to mono view. No forehead rest for long term viewing. (Not really sure how important that is)
No picatinny rails.

Swarovski.
Great, really great glass. Bino and mono ocular setups available. 65-100mm main bodies available. Not sure if picatinny rails are doable.

Is there a mil reticle available?
??????



Hensoldt.
Great glass. Neutral color, mil reticle available. Mono view. Picatinny rails available for red dot or LRF pairing.





This begs a question.

What else is out there that has comparable glass, a Mil reticle and possibly bino viewing?





*****?Which ones are easier to spot trace with? ******

Which one has the better ability to resolve impacts at 2000+ yards?



Back in 2021, at the PRE, I overheard a discussion between the Swarovski and the Hensoldt.
Heard the Hensoldt was easier to spot trace.


What are your thoughts on this matter?
