    Ordering up a manners stock

    Re: Ordering up a manners stock May consider the SL. While they won't do the barrel channel that big you do have room to open it up. Just a traditional style stock that is pretty versitile for most uses.

    Gunsmithing PC-7

    Re: PC-7 I've used it as a filler, but by comparison to the standar bedding compounds the compressive strength is pretty low. It would probably work OK, but I would rather wait a couple days and order Marine-Tex, Devcon, or Pro-Bed 2000.

    Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake

    Re: Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake Certainly not needed. I have put a brake on every 6.5x47 I have built however. Just set it up threaded for a can from the beginning. I figure if it's already threaded may as well make use of it. As a bonus it sure makes spotting your own shots a piece...

    Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake

    Re: Size of Exit Hole on Muzzle Brake Larger is no problem. If taken large enough it may lose some effectiveness, but probably not snogged to notice. I generally go for. 015-.020 over bullet diameter.

    338 Lapua Ackley Imp H2O capacity

    Gunsmithing cutting new chamber help

    Re: cutting new chamber help That' pretty much it. I use a dial indicator with a long probe on it that will allow me to reach about 2" into the bore. I get that point running true, and a point just inside the bore. When these two points are both showing concentric it's time to start cutting.
