    SS United States

    Yeah, we have the Queen Mary as a museum in Long Beach Ca, not that impressed and it's cost the city and states tons of cash for "upgrades" in the past despite being well kept. So gotta say no....

    Xero failures

    Eh, if it breaks inside it will be described as "dropped or abuse" which is probably written within the owner's manual under warranty denial.

    GAP M40a5 or GAP M24

    What happened, I thought no wait time?....

    Very disappointed

    Amazingly, FGMM 168 seems to shoot just as well at 600yds as 100, so it's not such a big deal.

    Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

    Hmmm, OP didn't get the answer he wanted....

    7PRC problem. Brand new prefit barrel, reputable smith, bolt wont close on freshly sized new brass

    What did the vendor say when you asked about this?

    7PRC problem. Brand new prefit barrel, reputable smith, bolt wont close on freshly sized new brass

    Well, brand new brass SAAMI cartridge headspace spec is usually less than the chamber headspace spec, so something is amiss. And yes, the die is squeezing the shoulder forward a few thou.

    Friend from childhood recently passed. Left me his guns. Need some advice on one.

    Blast and Parkerizing it yourself. Buy the decent mix from Brownells or Lauer.

    Anschutz 1710 at a Dallas are vendor - Is this bad condition?

    Yeah, was trying to figure what "ring" in the chamber he was talking about.

    Anschutz 1710 at a Dallas are vendor - Is this bad condition?

    Can someone clarify. Is the 1710 a coned breech? That's different than the standard Annie 54 receiver. I seem to remember the Annie 54.30 having a coned breech, but I thought the extractors were at 10 & 2 O'clock vs standard 9 & 3 O'clock.

    Devcon Plastic Steel 10110 changed recently?

    I didn’t think the 10110 putty came in syringe or tubes. It’s way too thick to squirt out. The 10210 liquid steel is similar consistency as JB Weld.
