    Gunsmithing Chuck shopping

    Want to get a new quality 4-jaw for my Clausing. Its a D1-4 mount, and I want it to be direct mount for length concerns. Seems theres only about two choices out there that Im finding, Gator or Bison. I know the Bison are good to go. Anyone have any experience with the Gators? They are about...

    Gunsmithing HELP! Rotary union to barrel coupling for high-pressure flushing system.

    I guess it doesnt apply to this thread, but wanted to note that my Gretan fitting took a dump today. Just started spewing oil out from inside the cup, tore it apart and cant for the life of me figure out where the leak is. This was under 100psi when it happened, but it happened on a 6mm where...

    AW vs AICS Magazines - Preference or Performance?

    I couldn't find it anywhere, but just want to make sure you know a rem 700 will not work with AW mags without heavy modification of the feed ramp and widening the cut on the action. That being said, the biggest concern with AW mags is proper height of magazine in relation to action, you have a...

    Where do you exhaust the air to? Just into the shop or outside? Or into the attic?

    Gunsmithing I want to build a spray booth...

    My concern is that if I use your design, but just in a framed in room inside the shop, that even filtered the air does not smell great. Therefore if I dont want to have to open the door in the winter, I will need to exhaust the air outside. So my biggest concern is just balancing the air in...

    Gunsmithing I want to build a spray booth...

    Want to get some thoughts/ideas from guys that know more than me about this. I just want to note, I dont do this for a living, so Im not looking to spend beau-cup bucks on the setup, but I also dont want to have to do it twice. Heres my setup... My shop right now is a 30x20' area in the...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K624i

    I just want to point out that this gen 1 business is only an issue if you are buying used, this transition happened a long time ago so there is no fear of getting one from a dealer.

    Rifle Scopes 2014's Best Scope ShootOut

    I think "the boots on the ground" such as George Gardner, Bryan Morgan, and all the GAP guys running the scope that ended up at the bottom of this list would agree that either super premium optical quality is not too important for our type of shooting or something is amiss. And also, it's...

    Gunsmithing Robert Gradous chambering on his HAAS TL-1

    Assuming you are speaking of the flushing system? Cant say for sure, but most guys are either running the GTR flushing adapter, a homemade similar style, or pipe tapping the muzzle and hard attaching a swiveling fitting. Id guess its one of the above. Ive been using the GTR, granted I dont...

    Gunsmithing Adding coolant to a lathe

    If you have the tools/skills to do so, I would probably cut a large rectangle roughly below where the majority of the oil will drain to, then fabricate a "funnel" and weld it to the pan. That is assuming it is possible, but it looks like you could probably do that. Otherwise you are going to...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles Optics Info and Updates Thread

    If you slap a straight edge on your scope base and measure below it around where the bell will be, the Kahles will be 3mm below that line with medium (28mm) height rings. Not sure how thick the AAD caps are, but figure probably another 3-4mm, so if you have 7-8mm (approx .275") under your...

    Gunsmithing DPMS 6.5 creedmoor Barrel with off center chamber?

    While I agree that there is concentricity issues here, I can't figure out how this could happen. If a piloted reamer, there should be no way this can happen since that fb to leade transition is cut by one tool, even if the barrel was .2" off from concentric in the lathe. You would instead just...

    Gunsmithing SBR Laser Engraving - San Antonio TX

    Awesome, I was just curious. I should have investigated a bit more, didnt realize he does a lot of NFA stuff. The name of the shop just made it sound like he was a run of the mill engraver in which case a lot of times they dont have the right laser to get deep enough.
