    Best action for a Dasher?

    These new bighorn tl3 actions are the shit for a dasher or BR. They are perfect. He'll, my action will even feed a 6BR case without a bullet seated into it. No magazine mods needed either. The ejector doesn't side load the cases either, so ejection is perfect as well. I don't see any other...

    Gunsmithing Bolt Lugs Galling... Effects on accuracy

    If you would see my shop or any of my rifles you wouldn't even question my use of good bolt grease. I keep my stuff tip tops always!!! Bolt grease doesn't keep dirt or pieces of carbon or whatever the he'll got in there from getting on your lugs. I felt it, when the lug called. I was blowing...

    Gunsmithing Best 6 creedmoor chamber reamer dimension

    The sierra 110 grain bullets i have work just fine with standard 105 lenght free bores. I shoot these new sierras a lot in my 6 creedmoor and they are great. I have a good proven 6 creedmoor reamer if you are needing any help. thanks Lee

    Gunsmithing Bolt Lugs Galling... Effects on accuracy

    No accuracy effects. My best 6ppc has a galled lug. I love BAT actions but their untreated bolts are very prone to galling. i can feel it when i close the bolt, and i have lapped a little of the galling out. This rifle of mine still shoots teen aggs like it always has. Lee

    Gunsmithing 700 remage

    In my opinion there are no pros to a dam barrel nut. How much easier can you get than just screwing a barrel on to the shoulder and go shoot. No headfspace gauges and no dam barrel nut. I get the part about being able to buy a barrel from x y or z company and putting it on yourself, but that...

    Gunsmithing Proof stainless or Bartlein barrel

    bartlein, brux, krieger, hawkhill. no particular order. a proof wouldnt even be on my list. At this time anyway. i have chambered a couple and they were not very straight, nor was the bore very consistant with a slug. Another up and commer in the barrel world is American Barrel Company. the...

    Uhh... McRees may want to rethink this one? Maybe?

    I may be alone on this, but i didnt read this as a threat to the consumer of their product. Sounds to me like they are warning there competition, and at the same time warning anyone else who might buy a chassis from their competition. Not sure this could happen, but what if I bought a chassis...

    Gunsmithing best 6 Dasher reamer

    There is no such thing as a benchrest reamer. To be quite clear most benchrest shooter are going to be shooting hotter loads than most tactical guys anyway. Other than custom actions, larger firing pin Diameter could cause some issue, but the free bore doesnt have anything to do with it...

    Gunsmithing best 6 Dasher reamer

    In my opinion the common .104 free bore isn't long enough I prefer .125 to .150 or even a .160

    Gunsmithing 284 GAP finish reamer

    Anyone here using this reamer? would this be a good choice for a short action magazine feed rifle? im sure its a no turn neck, but i dont see any info on the freebore. I left a message with Kiff and i even called. but they havent gotten back with me. I have a PRS shooter wanting to shoot...

    Gunsmithing How important is the Crown?

    Not that i would ever suggest this! I have a 300 yard range right behind my rifle shop. Concrete benches, wind flags, the hole works. Benchrest quality range. I build rifles in my shop for lots of people with great success. With that said, i have done some pretty silly things, just to see...

    Gunsmithing McGowan barrels any good?

    mcgowan barrels are an affordable lower cost button rifled barrel As a smith and a perfectionist i wouldnt recommend them or use them. with that said im sure they probably shoot fine and im sure there is a real market for them. A rifles single most important component is the barrel. i buy...

    Gunsmithing Trued threads in a remage build? Having issues with my build

    I love making money truing up remingtons, but i still dont know why a fella " unless he already owns the rifle" wouldnt save 200 more $ and buy a nice custom action like a kelbly atlas? remingtons can be made to shoot very well, but it takes money for most folks. I think that money is better...

    Gunsmithing "clocking" a barrel while chambering.

    savage barrels are no different while they are still in the lathe. Find top dead center and set the headspace with a go gauge while the barrel is still in the lathe. Do a little math and see how much farther the reamer needs to be advanced and trim the back of barrel for proper clearance. Re...

    Gunsmithing "clocking" a barrel while chambering.

    I never will understand why someone would want to indicate an area 24 to 30 inches in front of the chamber or work area. Makes no sense. One fella told me he does it because he wants the muzzle in front of the chamber for recoil reasons. He claimed he could feel the rifle recoil off track with...

    GAP Tempest

    I would venture to say that the trigger hangers are more for timing than pin fall although they kinda go hand in hand. Past studies show that a remington type firing pin needs a min of .230 of fall to be effective. I think its .230 if not its .240 a pin fall of .214 is a bit concerning to me...

    GAP Tempest

    How does this Tempest action stack up against all the rest? I am thinking about trying one, but from what i read im not so sure its the smart move? I searched several old post, and have read some questionable reviews. Light pin hits on primers. trigger issues. Stuff like This...
