    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    I was near Nirvana back in '94, then he shot himself. Production is about the monkey setting up the tool that the other monkey designed. Precision is a deeper monkey that often requires more attention to detail, but is still slave to the tool that the other monkey designed. I do both. So if...

    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    I can tell you the CR chromed barrels post chrome meet the same bore spec as the non chromed. Maybe I'm just too cheap, simple minded, or lazy to buy or set up 2 more air gages to measure the same dang bore just because it's chromed haha..

    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    Fatboy would also mention Ive got a lot of mileage in the industry as well as the barrelmaking gig. So I say the premise might be premature. If the forging is done in house we can take equal amounts of QC. We can control the material, the bore dimensions and geometry, the stress relief, if...

    double check bottom of your recoil lug isn't contacting the bottom of the stock, thought I saw a shiny on the one pic.

    That's not an HS stock dude. But you can still do what I said above sanding it out.

    Gunsmithing Opening up HS stock?

    HS barrel channels are usually smooth under the barrel, it's how the mandrels lay in the stock mold..

    Gunsmithing Opening up HS stock?

    That barrel channel swallop and the fit and finish of the block just doesn't look right. And I don't recognize the grip on the pistol and forend. You sure that's an HS?

    You sure that's an HS stock? What model would you say it is?

    Gunsmithing Opening up HS stock?

    I still have fingerprints missing from working/reworking HS stocks, at HS. would be interesting to know if it's a full length bedding block on that style. If it moved I reckon it was pulled from the mold poorly or too soon.

    1.25" or bigger wood dowel or pvc pipe. Wrap some coarse sandpaper round, work it up and down the channel, it's just dense polyurethane foam in that area.

    Remington Bankruptcy

    Not sure if anyone noticed, but Remington moved the majority of their gunmaking stuff from the Northeast. down to 'Bama Sure that cost a penny, they had a lot of stuff. Huntsville isn't worried. I wouldn't be either.

    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    Let's back up a bit, because I'm interested in your premise, or rather where it derives. Why would you think a cut rifled blank starts out at a higher level of 'precision' than a CHF blank?

    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    Our goal is to be capable to produce everything we offer in house, but also keeping in mind the years we have developed very good relationships with our high end vendors who supply us with quality top notch product. LPR isn't a huge percentage of our overall production by any means, so it's not...

    New SR25/M110 Barrels Vs. Issue M110 Barrels?

    Chrome is a fickle beast. You spend all that time getting the surface finish you want, geometry just how you like it, uniform end to end, nice sharp crown, smooth throat. Then you send it to chrome and cross your fingers, as they etch that nice bore surface out and remove all your edges...

    Gunsmithing How does one pronounce meplat?

    always true. Meplat literally means flat end and is why it should only apply to OTM types....
