    excellent portable shooting table I put together

    Burt, Sogan: Well, if Snipers Hide has email alerts when some one responds to a thread, I did't have it activated. This thread grew legs and I didn't know. Sorry for no response. For better or worse, I don't go out shooting that much (110 miles to that site), so I haven't done any mods. I...

    Current job is working on aluminum tanker trucks that deliver gas to the stations- you're all seen them. Lots of condensation, heat, and cold on top where there's lots of stuff that needs maintenance. Alu junction boxes for electronic loading safety systems. If you don't use antiseize here...

    Thanks. "Loctite on rings"- do you mean on ring screws.... or mating surface between rings and scope tube? The good thing about Loctite I believe is that it prevents seizing by sealing off area and blocking moisture/corrosion. I think it also provides a barrier that discourages the bond that...

    Spuhr does mention "wax". Another poster mentioned anodizing helps prevent seizing- hadn't thought of that. To clarify, the horrible situations that I have experienced over the years are when a bolt has been in place in aluminum for 5 years or more. Made worse by presence of moisture. Also...

    Just ordered this........ It uses a ¼" square drive with female adapter to the accomodate the ¼" hex bits. So I can use my ¼" driver with the bits when I don't need to set a torque spec.

    Right.... says so in the little paper sheet/manual in the box. Wax is normally not used on metal threads. I'm gonna contact Spuhr for more on this. They do mention that lubes are used- and that this affects the torque settings.....

    So is there history of these coming loose? Loctite is not a lube, but it would prevent seizing.......

    Also, I forgot to take note of the position of the ring caps. I'm pretty sure the cap with the extra threaded holes for accessories is the front one (marked "A41"). The cap I have installed at rear position is marked "A40". I have mounted these so they read right-side-up when viewing from the...

    After 45 years as mechanic, some of my worst battles were with sheared off screws that had been assembled into aluminum dry- and seized. ( I was always so impressed by how fast the previous mechanic had been able to complete the job- very impressive) On cars, used Lubro Moly paste- on petrol...

    excellent portable shooting table I put together

    That's a Sig Sauer SSG 3000 Patrol .308W, US import version with different stock than Euro versions. That picture shows a PST gen 1. Many claim McMillan made the stock- I'm not so sure. Sig stopped importing several years ago. The US version was offered for less $ than the Euro version- and...
