    Gunsmithing Acriglas Sucks

    Re: Acriglas Sucks Sounds like your mix ratio was a ways off, or your work area was really hot. When you did mixed it up did you also remember to add some chopped glass fiber, or wood fiber? If you didn't the stuff is much more likely to crack or shatter.

    Gunsmithing Broughton Barrel

    Re: Broughton Barrel The barrel is lapped by hand. The last inch or so on each end will be oversized. Taking 2" is a bit more than usually needed, but would make sure you were back to good dimensions.

    Gunsmithing Trigger creep in Model 70

    Re: Trigger creep in Model 70 Montana Rifle Company. They make an action that is basicly a hybrid of the model 70 and the 98 Mauser. They use an exact copy of the M70 trigger on their actions.

    Gunsmithing Trigger creep in Model 70

    Re: Trigger creep in Model 70 Easy trigger to do if you have the tools. I normally get a new trigger and sear from MRC as theirs are solid steel rather than sintered metal, and then set the sear engagement to .020 with the mill. Good clean break is easy to make happen then.

    Re: Q to the gunsmiths about gunsmith school I went through that program back in 2001, and I can tell you if he follows the chambering method they were teaching at that time you have about a 50% chance of having a good accurate rifle. Precision rifle building is not the forte of that school...

    What can I replace factory Rem DBM with?

    Re: What can I replace factory Rem DBM with? IF I remember correctly the DBM setup from Wyatts fits the factory BDL inlet just fine. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe you can go to a BDL from factory DBM very easily.

    Gunsmithing Cutting your own quality barrel and saving money?
