    Clean your freakin barrel!! Why wouldn't you?? If you have the proper tools and teqnique you wont hurt the dam thing. Have you ever looked in a barrel with a bore scope. If you haven't cleaned your rifle in a couple hundred rounds ill bet a weeks pay your throat is full of carbon. Copper doesn't...

    Gunsmithing Bobby Hart Laminate Stocks

    Fuck a wood stock! Way to much work involved. Besides tom manners makes the best stock in the world, and you wont have to do squat to it. No way would I buy a laminate stock, no way!! Wood is for shotguns, and I like nice wood. Just not for my rifles! Lee

    Gunsmithing Gunsmithing Tools

    If you feel the need for this passion then just jump in. Life is short, so why not. I did and I have zero regrets!. I never even turned a lathe on until I bought my first one. Two weeks later I chambered my first barrel. That barrel won me a couple pieces of wood to. There really isn't anything...

    Gunsmithing anyone crown with a carbide incert?

    I finally figured out how to cut a beautiful sharp burr free crown with a carbide incert tool today. I bought some .005 radius kennametal incerts for my km tool holder. Did some math and figured my speed and feed rates. Speed was 1800 and feed was .0022. Fast and slow. I've always used hss with...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on roughing out with a twist drill

    Doc I haven't ever chambered anything longer than a .308 so no sir,I haven't had any chatter issues. I do use that carbide rougher bought from you though. I love that reamer. I chamber 22 and 6ppc chambers 80 percent of the time. I dial everything in the best I can, then I use two different...

    Fastest flattest screaming SOB

    I like daves suggestion as those 17cal pills are pretty freakin cool. If you want to stay with a 22cal a plain old 22BR will do everything a 22-250 will do with a hell of a lot less powder, and that means a ton more barrel life. I dont know why more folks dont think of the 22BR it makes tons of...

    Gunsmithing stiller tac action coating color

    I think I will do a 6mm creedmoor or a 6-47lapua. I will buy a manners t3 most likely. Either the t3 or a t4. I want the stock to be painted in multicam as well. Not sure about optics yet. I will use the rifle to snipe coyotes and to shoot some long range steel. Oh I think I'm going to try...
