    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Coffee, generic black.

    Barrel vice padding

    Just clean, dry, bare aluminum. But to edit: in all honesty, just bare aluminum and it’s usually not clean or dry…

    RemArms Sloppy Warranty Repair

    Out of curiosity, how do you know what Remington's spec is? I can promise, new, out of the box Rem 700s have come with the receiver peened at the trigger pins. The bolt part, no excuse for that.

    And for the record, that’s more peening, not really staking. All it’s doing is making the hole tighter. The pins will still drive in/out as normal.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding what’s going on here. How do you push an oversized pin through the trigger?

    Action won’t lock up on tenon shoulder

    What are you doing at the tenon/shoulder junction? Runout groove, undercut?

    I couldn’t count how many staked trigger pins on factory Remington actions AND ‘high-end’ aftermarket actions I’ve seen come though here. Not something I’d lose sleep over.

    Muzzle break for smaller diameter barrels

    You need a brake for 1/2-28 threads.

    Do I need to remove the Firing Pin to check go no/go on a Defiance Ruckus Action

    You don't have to, but you should as well as the ejector. You want to only feel the gauge, or not. You don't want input from anything else.

    Yep. A heavy Palma barrel would be a bit goofy if you cut 11” off the breech end…

    Real shame all those 18”-20” barrels that started from a 26”-29” blank don’t shoot for shit! LOL.

    Gunsmithing Thread chaser for muzzle threads

    It doesn't matter other than looks. You're never going to change enough by filing one dented thread to affect anything. You could file that entire start thread off and it's not going to change a thing.

    You can have a gunsmith shorten the length of the threads and re-crown, but then you've got to send it/drop it off. Or, you could measure the overall length of the threads, and I could make you a shim/spacer real quick and send it to you, no charge. It'll be 416 stainless in the white at that...
