    Gunsmithing Lathe selection

    I still have Warner bits, but do not use them. I still use the holders, though I have other brands. The Warner bits are not as sharp as the polished uncoated carbide designed for aluminum.

    Gunsmithing Lathe selection

    @Yondering the proximity sensor is attached to the micrometer. I slide the set up on the flat rail, lock it down, then use the micrometer for the final adjustment where I want the carriage to stop at speed. Once the proximity is set, don't want to change the spindle, as stopping point may vary.

    Gunsmithing Lathe selection

    That's the lowest the VFD runs it, 34 rpms. Finish is real nice with carbide for aluminum laydown inserts. I could run faster, there is really no need with the made for aluminum inserts. Have VFD on all 3 lathes I use for barrel works. The 1440ev came with a factory installed 7HP VFD feeding...

    Gunsmithing Lathe selection

    Spot on, brother. I never bothered to learn how to grind HSS bits. Instead I invested my time in learning how to run the machines using carbide inserts. I use carbide trigon WNMG inserts for roughing. It has 6 cutting edges. Just recently I finished these AR15 barrels for the TX Juniors from...

    30-06…. Anyone use this anymore ?

    It is warm, but no hard lift or ejector marks, and no flattened primers. Loaded rounds are single loading only. 215 boat tail junction is above the shoulder junction. CBTO is 2.743 with the Creedmoor Sports nut. @MontanaMarine load work with RL-17 and 215s was what inspired me to pursue the...

    ORYX chassis?

    Have y'all done any LOP reduction? Without any spacers the LOP is still too long for me. Throught about putting the band saw to it and graft a kickeeze. ??

    OFFICIAL .223/5.56 Hunting Thread

    Handloaded screaming hot with 2000 MR launching them through AEM5 suppressed MK12 SPR clone, 77 TMKs work well on TX WTs. Boiler room take down, they work pretty much like Berger hunting VLDs. Farthest I shot was barely inside 200 yards.

    Anyone shooting 260Rem in 2022?

    That would be a nice rig. Order a McM stock for it. Now that I sold my 6XC LRB M25 in a molded in woodland camo McM M2a stock, I may barrel my Bula forged rear lugged receiver with a 260. Before the plandemic a good friend from Slidell came over to see me. He wanted a 338 Federal to rebarrel...

    Las Vegas smoke shop owner stabs man multiple times

    Could not remember now, it was whatever Steve was using back then. The only difference I wanted the Stag scales just to have something different. Don't know how many he made with Stag scales. Back when I got mine, there were two, mine was the 2nd one.
