    Gunsmithing FN SPR Thread Pitch and Diameter?

    Re: FN SPR Thread Pitch and Diameter? Yes, it's 1.00" x 16 TPI. I've done several builds on the FN action and its a good, solid, platform and a hell of a value for the money. The extractor cut is a little tricky until ya figure it out - but no big deal. SR

    Gunsmithing cutting oil for chamber reaming

    Re: cutting oil for chamber reaming I've been using Mobilmet Omega for a couple years now and have have great results and really great threads and chambers. I'm surprised - and dissapointed - that it has been discontinued. I guess I'll try the Shell Garia or other suggestions. SR

    Gunsmithing Rem700 bolt question for you who KNOW. *UPDATES*

    Re: Breaking cross pins... Should be a gap here......? Keith: One thing I have found occasionally on M700's and various clones regarding the pin misalignment is that when a slight alignment issue exists you can rotate the firing pin itself 180 degrees and in some cases it will better align...

    Gunsmithing how to paint webbing

    Re: how to paint webbing Summit: The Krylon webbing spray works great but is limited to a few colors, black, white, silver, and I think green (but its a darker green - not OD). It works well but the size of the actual "web" will be a bit larger than those seen on HS and B&C stocks. I have...

    Gunsmithing Side bolt release on remington 600?

    Re: Side bolt release on remington 600? Yes it can be done. While not a M600 and not a GAP release, here is a pic of a Phoenix Machine release I installed on the 600's close cousin - an XP-100. I imagine the GAP release is similar in function although a bit trimmer in design. SR

    Gunsmithing Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder joint

    Re: Remington Bolt handle broke off at solder join I have used Nate and "other" for bolt handle installation. All I can say is that Nate is first class to deal with and his work is first class as well. He will get my business when a build needs bolt handle attention as I cannot do this in...
