    Gunsmithing Whats your dream lathe

    If you really want to buy a good lathe, make sure you have a look at this. DMT Kern: CD 480 Ausstattung SEIGER || Drehmaschinen - Sondermaschinen In my opinion these are the best machine tool for one of a kind part production. Weiler is normally the sturdiest one. The other have nice features...

    Gunsmithing Loaded round stuck in 338

    I think, I would buy an new barrel and dispose the old one with the stuck round in a save way. 300 - 500 bucks is not worth of risking a life. Just my opinion.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmiths - What brand caliper do you use?

    If you want a really good caliper I recommend this one S_Cal PRO µ. I have the predecessor and I really like it. Swiss quality and not cheap, but I have mine for years in a machine shop. And be sure to get one whicht is IP 67 rated and water and dust proof.

    Rifle Scopes $3500 for a new scope, which one.

    From your list I would choose S&B. Leupold and Nightforce: I have no personal experience. Zeiss and Hensoldt are basically the same except reticle choises and turrents and I had the best experience with S&B. My own personal experience is to stay away from Hensoldt, I have one and guess why I...

    Rifle Scopes Hensoldt/ Zeiss shitty service heads up

    I had a very similar experience with Hensoldt myself. And I do live in Germany. I bought a 3-12x56 sfp Hensoldt. After about 8 mounths I wasn´t able to hit a target with the rifle so I brought it back to the shop. and said it doesn´t work anymore. The shop sent the scope to Hensoldt. Hensoldt...

    Gunsmithing cant get the barrel off my 700

    If you don´t care for the barrel to be removed, slip a just fitting nut over the barrel an weld it in place. Make sure your weld seam goues all the way round and that you weld on both sides of the nut. Use a real wrench and the barrel WILL come of. If you want to reuse the old barrel, use a mill...

    Ai ax 308

    Hello, I´m about to order an AI AX 308 with a 16" foreend tube. But I´m wondering about the incline angle of the rail. Would you go 0 MOA for the rail and get the angle in the scope mount or get a flat scopemont and a 30 MOA rail. Please state why choosing one or the other. Thanks Dan

    Gunsmithing sako 85 long action build question for the smiths

    Re: sako 85 long action build question for the smiths Hi Joe, as you already checked the length of the cardride I don´t comment on that but what I would consider is: bolt thrust creaded by the pressure inside the cardride. This thrust must be beared by the bolt lugs. So I would check for...

    Need help in Design.

    Re: Need help in Design. First, please make sure it is available for us Europeans. In my opinion the case shoul have a tight fit to the rifle. So you should make a tight contact to the forarm and stock. The scope should be sitting in the air, so that no impact forces from a drop could be...

    Flat Shooting caliber

    Re: Flat Shooting caliber Perhaps you want also to look at 17 Remington and 17 Remington Fireball. For both is factory ammunition from Remington available. Otherwise the 6.5x68 is also a very flat shooting round which is used to hunt in the mountains an almost no holdover is needed for 300m...

    Caliber ideas for a 16" barrel

    Re: Caliber ideas for a 16" barrel In my opinion a 338 federal would be a great round for a short barreled rifle, and it can use heavier bullets. It also uses the powder even better than the 308 in short barrel because it has almost the same case and a bigger bore diameter. so my suggestion...

    Gunsmithing NEW SIG SSG 3000 barrel

    Re: NEW SIG SSG 3000 barrel As far as I know the SIG SSG 300 has its barrel screwed into its action just like the Rem 700, AI AW Sako TRG and so on. So basically every gunsmith who can rebarrel a Rem 700 should be able to rebarrel a SIG SSG 3000. Only limitation could be that they use metric...
