    .223 and the D550b

    Re: .223 and the D550b I use the 550 as well. My priming station has given me trouble in the past so I stick with hand priming. I tumble brass, spray with lube and in #1 I deprime and size with a dillon die. Then if the brass needs to be trimmed, trim it and take mil crimp out. Then...

    Rifle Scopes Painting a scope

    Re: Painting a scope I'd say prep work is the key. I just duracoated my Mark 4. It took me about 2 years to grow a pair and do it. The hardest part was scratching up the surface for the paint to stick to it. Once I started it was easy bc I had to go through with it. Take your time with...

    Alright I'm getting ready to put my 700p back together. I took it apart to paint and I have read a few mixed reviews on loctiting the screws. Should I blue loctite the base screws, the screws in the bottom of the scope mount, and the screws that are in the top part of the rings? What says the...

    Gunsmithing Low pro gas block install

    Re: Low pro gas block install I'm not a gunsmith either, but I recently did this with a Larue gas block on my 6920. I used the tool from rainer. It was a piece of cake. I probably didn't make the dimples deep enough, but its not going anywhere. Put some red loctite on the screws and let...

    Fieldcraft Need advice on painting setup

    Re: Need advice on painting setup How much psi should I be putting through it roughly? I found a video on youtube that I think helped me out. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it should be at 30-35psi and I will need an inline water remover, right?

    Gunsmithing First AR-15 Build Questions

    Re: First AR-15 Build Questions What kind of lower did you get. I know there is a brand, and I can't think of which one, that has a allen head screw there that acts as a "accuwedge" sort of. It takes the "play" out of the upper and lower.
