    Borescope usage and carbon ring identification.

    There are 2 camps. One never cleans a rifle. Then the other camp it gets scrubbed out after every time out or more. Speedy was talking about thing a few days ago about sometimes if the carbon ring is there too long you cant get it out and it actually hurts accuracy and you can never get the...

    Talk to me about 358 Winchester

    I inherited a 350 Rem Mag. It is a 600 guide series with the laminated stock and ventilated rib on the barrel. It has exactly 52 rds through it. My FIL recorded every shot he took with his guns. I might use it this year to deer hunt as he always wanted to here in Iowa with it but could not. He...

    Nothing like a brand new rusted barrel, didn't even need to scope this one! :)

    looks like you have as good of luck as me. If there is going to be a problem with something I will end up having it. So far I am at 3 returned barrels that are Wilson Arms not combat. 2 were 9mm ar15 barrels from JSE Surplus and a WOA 18" SPR barrel. All 3 had defects and were horrible shooters...

    1896 Swedish Mauser question

    Do not load the bullets out on a 6.5swede. You are looking at blowing up the rifle if you do. Make sure to use a crimp also. These are the guns that blow up from having a worn throat. The bullets get into the rifling then stop from having too much expansion of gas too soon and the powder loses...

    Tooling marks in bore

    @Frank Green I am talking to some people on another forum about this exact same thing in a savage barrel. Could you please tell us what these "chatter" marks are. These people just can not get through their heads what this is. Thanks! Tom

    I need help. New 223 barrel

    You need to talk to the people that turned that barrel. I would have already taken it off and sent it back. The price of components now outweigh screwing around trying to find something it likes. I have a Criterion 223 on a savage that prints a edge to edge group at 0.31" take out the bullet...

    NOE is the best bullet mold company

    I'm in the $1000 club he has. He used to be pretty active on a few gun forums but is way too busy anymore. Al is a good guy.

    Strange projectiles

    The Finnish d166 bullet was 200gr and either 0.309" or 0.310" depending on vintage.

    AR tuning gurus….need your help.

    Be careful which gas block you buy. Some will need to take the hand guard off to adjust

    Aguila kaboom

    22rf is one cartridge I have not had any real problems with. At least a ruptured case. I have shot over 100,000 rounds easily over my lifetime so far. Leading, yes. Duds, YES. Squibs, yes. But never a rupture. I have 4K rounds of the Aguila 22 40gr coming tomorrow. It is one of my favorite...

    White oak armament accuracy

    I have a whole upper at WOA right now to to a couple of problems. The gas port as others have said. There was a large burr at the port that tore off and the port looks like it has several thousand rounds through it. It has less than 75 rnds through it. When you push a patch through to clean you...

    What’s the science behind loose primer pockets?

    If you know someone with a roll sizer it can make the primer hole tighten back up for a few more loads.

    Factory ammo won’t chamber

    Your GS needs to fix this on his dime. Or do what I would do and rent a reamer and give it a turn or two and set the HS to what I want. I used to do this with short chambered barrels all the time years ago. Just get a reamer with no throat so that is not changed.

    Tooling marks in bore

    You want to see a smooth rf barrel? This is a Ruger American rimfire compact I picked up a couple weeks ago. This was unfired by me right out of the box. I have not shot it yet. Scope will be here tomorrow.

    Tooling marks in bore

    You guys must not know anything about machining. The photos show the feed rate that the barrel was drilled at. The barrel was not reamed or lapped after drilling. Then the barrels were button rifled. Hammer forged can also show this but it not be as bad. It is a cost cutting thing they do for...

    not snipery but vintage

    Unissued Russian SKS????? No such of a thing exist. Maybe unissued since rebuild. But the rebuild Russians have a parked rec cover. Russians were never $80 as everyone says, They were more like $149. The Chinese were the $80 guns in the 80's

    Chopping a die down?

    Well by the images of your brass you have a case head issue more than not enough bump. Anneal the cases and that will tell you if it is a case head expansion issue or just spring back from hard brass. You don't have to do all of them just a couple and then size them and see if they fit in both...

    Chopping a die down?

    Have you checked the measurements at the web? Case head expansion will give you very hard chambering. Shortening your die or shell holder will not fix that.
