    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    Exactly. Also a big reason why the Sterk bolt knobs are so popular.

    Lighten a Tikka bolt lift with new shroud?

    A shroud alone won't help... running it, a lot, will. The plastic shroud is prone to breaking, more-so during hunting than at a range. If you get debris in there, it could end a hunt, or ruin an expected shot that never goes boom. $60 is relatively inexpensive for that peace of mind. It's about...

    Should Apple Unlock Pensacola Shooter's Phone?

    The shooter is NOT a US Citizen, he is a Saudi national. Therefore, he has no privacy rights here, and the constitution does not apply to him. What's the question?

    Aussie fires have taken a toll.

    100% agree. Those convicted of arson for fires like this, here or abroad, should be given the death penalty whether it takes human lives or not. Televise it, or at a minimum, post it on the front page of every publication out there. Make anyone who even thinks about it second guess their idea...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    The drive links have the smallest stress area, therefore, are the weakest part. Tie links are doubled up (could also be a toothed link). Some chains have oil cavities/features stamped in to the drive links themselves (Stihl has marketed this for a long time, but most all of the manufacturers...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    It was all so that each manufacturer made you buy their chain... now with companies that make them in every gauge and pitch, I don't think it really matters. I will say however, that .063" chain is quite a bit stronger than .050" (the drive links are .013" wider)... It's got a lot more stress...

    Gunsmithing Workbench ?

    A vice. As for work on the bench, a cleaning mat. Horse Stall mats are great if you need that much. Damn near indestructible, and good and heavy. Just a PITA to cut!

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Mossberg's New 940 JM Pro

    I'll probably pick one of these up... Going to quickly get rid of the gold/yellow anodizing... beyond that it looks like a good gun. I had a 930 JM that was fantastic, sold it to my BIL and it's still running pretty well. IIRC it was one that had a few issues with gas rings, but I might be...

    Need chassis advice for Tikka

    I have the same rifle in an XLR Carbon... I switched from a KRG X-Ray. Honestly, I wish I would've stayed with the KRG. The Carbon is heavy... heavier than the KRG even though its got that fancy carbon fiber tube forend. Also, the KRG cheek piece adjustment is way quicker. If you get the KRG...

    Gunsmithing .50 DTC to .50 BMG

    It's .100" shorter shoulder for the DTC, and .100" shorter OAL, BUT the shoulder on the DTC is almost .050" wider than the BMG... You'd have a hard time chambering either round in the wrong barrel (haven't done the math to see if the shoulder would clear in the BMG barrel). Butttt, you'd know as...

    Gunsmithing .50 DTC to .50 BMG

    It would depend on barrel profile and if there's enough chamber wall thickness to cut it farther forward. The DTC is shorter and fatter, so you'd push the chamber forward in the barrel if you were to cut it for the BMG round. That said, it's not by a lot, so assuming you've got a fat chamber...

    Gun Room Security

    Don't know your budget, but there's been some really good suggestions here already. First things first, get a garage rated fire door... provides security more-so than a hollow core door you can kick through, and gives you the extra time in case of a small fire near the room. A hollow core door...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    just pull the valve core. Still enough pressure to blow the bead on, but when the gas shrinks, it draws in air through the stem. Did it on tractor tires all the time before we'd fill them with ballast.

    Snow Blower? need to get one

    Ariens is about the best. Ariens w/ a Honda motor would be hands down the best. I have an older Husky 28" blower with a 13HP Honda GX390 I rigged on it. Put some old hunks of tire sidewall on the impeller stage, and with the bigger pullies required by the 1" shaft of the 13HP engine, it'll...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    You're welcome to your opinion as well... sad truth is over 600,000 shelter dogs alone are euthanized every year in the US (those numbers don't account for dogs that die from neglect without ever making it to a shelter, or shelters that don't track intake/kill rate). Unless you're a quality...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    Congrats on the adoption! My wife and I run a rescue here in WNY. We've saved over 400 dogs this year alone, most of them coming from the south. I'm not going to preach anything but this: Have your pet spayed or neutered!!!

    What do you guys do at work?

    I'm a Sales Manager for a $3B Motion Controls company... but really, I'm an Engineer who can actually talk to people. If you need to move something precisely, there's not much I can't do with hydraulics or brushless motors... I've got solutions in Oil & Gas wells down 5-6 miles into the Earth...
