    Rifle Scopes Ring lapping question

    Re: Ring lapping question More surface area does equal better holding power, but that surface area is easily obtained by having the entire ring making contact.

    Rifle Scopes Ring lapping question

    Re: Ring lapping question The rings are rarely the problem, but rather the receiver inaccuracies that cause the misalignment that folks choose to solve by lapping. Rings and bases by their very nature are easier to maintain tight tolerance on during the manufacturing process than what is...

    starting an aero/space machine shop ?

    Re: starting an aero/space machine shop ? Been there done that......... Honestly, 200k is a drop in the bucket. You'd be ahead to get a job shop up and rolling or your own product line that you could move to a major distributor before you started going after ISO9001 certs. If you're up and...

    Gunsmithing parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel?

    Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? Carpenter is by far and away my mill of choice..... I've seen tool life improvements of up to 40% on the same cuts, with the same tools, but using 416 instead of 1215, 1018, or 12l14.

    Gunsmithing parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel?

    Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? Typically, in CNC situations, I'll leave .010-.020" for facing cleanup. That is dependent on the material that I'm running though and the geometry of the tool I'm using. Some tools need only .002" to make a nice finish in certain...

    Gunsmithing parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel?

    Re: parting tool vs. hack/band saw for cutting barrel? This story would tell me that either someone needs to learn how to sharpen a parting blade, or facing 101 needs to be introduced. Part them off and face them down, facing from inside out. Never seen it not work, but I have seen a few...

    Gunsmithing Custom Action Questions

    Re: Custom Action Questions Starting with the 03 Springfield, all CRF's have been originally designed to be single fed, due to the bevel that is on the nose of the extractor. Adjusting the tension of the extractor will do wonders for feeding, extraction and ejection, as well as smoothing up...

    Gunsmithing cnc bolt handle threading

    Re: cnc bolt handle threading Turn em till they burn, back off 1% and make a chip load that puts the heat in the chip, rather than the tool or workpiece. As long as the fixturing will hold up, most people are running too slow on steel and stainless machining. New coatings and substrates...
