    Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

    I’d bet it has to do with the limits of the wrench to action interface.

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith said this about installing a Tikka prefit

    Guess I’ve been lucky. I’ve never had an issue removing a Tikka barrel. Maybe I’ll video the next one I remove.

    cleaning barrel found this - ideas?

    My money would be on long stringy chips got pushed into the bore on the machining op for the muzzle. It’s too inconsistent to be tool marks, and it marked up both the lands and grooves. A factory rifle, I’d rate it a solid meh. I wouldn’t want to see that in a match barrel you paid good money...

    Adding weights to McMillan or a manners?

    I’m not making any more of these, nor selling them, but I did make a few steel ARCA rails for some shop rifles that were tapered at the rear so they sit flat against the Manners T4 stock, and some steel “spacers” that fit between the stock and the cheek piece for weight and ballast. It worked...

    Is this normal?

    So what’s your expert opinion on the OP’s pics?

    Is this normal?

    It’s amazing how well rifles shot before cheap Chinese borescopes were in everyone’s hands….

    300 NMI questions

    I think your builder is confusing Bartlein with someone else.

    Prefit barrels, and how the barrels are indicated during manufacture

    I doubt any do that. You’d be crashing tools if you tried to rapid a bushing that is >.0002” smaller than the bore, if the bore was out more than that.

    Prefit barrels, and how the barrels are indicated during manufacture

    If you find a builder to tell you how they hold a barrel, the maximum total indicator reading they will accept pre-machining, and where that reading is taken, how do you plan on verifying it once you get the barrel? I know how I’m doing it. I know how some others are doing it. My method works...

    Barrel vise bushing?

    Meaning, torque wrenches aren't meant for breaking fasteners free. You can damage them using them as such. Use a breaker bar instead to remove the barrel.

    Barrel vise bushing?

    If your torque wrench actually measures CW AND CCW, stop using it to remove things.

    White cerokote to reflect the sun

    Ever notice how heat sinks are always painted white? Me neither. They are either left as cast/machined or painted/coated/anodized black. (Sometimes reds/blues because looking cool matters…) A barrel is a heat sink, albeit, not a very good one. It is transferring heat generated inside to the...

    White cerokote to reflect the sun

    It is when you’re talking about radiant heat and pressure from a star some 90 million miles away.
