    Gunsmithing Rebarreling Ruger No1 rifles

    I should have replied back here sooner the rifle turned out great shoot as good as it looks. The barrel profile is the same as Remington sendero the mount fit perfect just needed tapped .

    Gunsmithing Starrett 135A Alternative?

    I have the L shaped 136 by Starrett that works well but has to held on narrow surfaces . Wonder if your 135A is a knock off ? I need to get a straight one like that to replace an old Stanley I'm using now.

    Mack Bro’s SS Evo

    You dont need much clearance just some dremeling ahead if the rear bolt. Having a Bridgeport helps just a quick cut . The Evo's make nice deer guns !

    Gunsmithing Timing muzzle brake off the end of the barrel

    Got the barrel threaded tonight using the nose of the barrel worked great . Youndering's suggestion is what I had to do that relief cut in the female threads wasn't deep enough to clear . Having .800 in threads looks strange but no one will see them now . Thanks for the replies !

    Gunsmithing Timing muzzle brake off the end of the barrel

    I've heard of this being done but haven't found any details looking around online for help . The AR15 barrel is .740 OD and 11/16-24 3A threads need .688 so there's not enough shoulder to tighten up on. The brake is a SilencerCo and measuring with a depth gage the back of the brake is square...

    Gunsmithing Affordable thread protectors

    Funny I was thinking about this a couple months ago, there must be a cheaper way to make thread protectors as it cuts into my limited time to run machines . I found a local guy that put a CNC in the barn and now is taking side work for him and his boy . He's not ready just yet but he quoted ten...
