    Gunsmithing Question about transferring a scope & rings to new

    Re: Question about transferring a scope & rings to new Thanks for the input guys I really appreciate it. The rings are made by Badger and I have to say that when I lapped them initially the paint/coating on them was very thick (and tough) but was removed very evenly. I found the same thing...

    Gunsmithing Question on barrel inletting.

    Re: Question on barrel inletting. I guess I need to word my posts much more carefully. My honest intent in posting was not to badmouth GAP, but to get some perspective/tips/hints on inletting the barrel channel on the stock (see the bottom line in the first post). Whenever I post asking...

    Gunsmithing Question on barrel inletting.

    Re: Question on barrel inletting. I just looked at the letter that I had included with the rifle when I sent it in to GAP. One of the line items that I had requested was "fit the barrel and action to the stock". The barrel is way to large to fit into the barrel channel of the stock, so...

    Gunsmithing Removing and remounting scope question.

    OK, this is probably a stupid question, but I have a GAP Remington 700 that has a Badger rail and Nightforce scope & rings. I lapped the scope rings and torqued everything down to spec. Now I need to do some inletting on the stock (under the barrel). My question is, if I remove the scope...
