    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    No apology needed but thanks. I just couldn't see anything else that would cause it ;-) bbuster, after spending over 25 yrs on the bench in a retail gunshop, I can say I've pretty much seen it all. There used to be some real hacks working in Austin. Fortunately guys that let this kind of stuff...

    Good eye 300! I missed that. I'd guess the secondary taper was done polishing out the plug.

    Cast iron turns pretty nice on a lathe if you can stand the dust;-)

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    ????????????????????? What? Go to a range. You will see this all day long. I thought I was going blind. This is clearly a 308 with a normal taper. I would bet the "bulge" is no more than .015 or .02"

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    Strictly speculation of course but I'm betting the person that drilled into the chamber plugged the hole with a screw or lead and it let go. You can see the area around the hole shows a void in the chamber. OP could put this to bed if he'd look in the chamber and post. OR!!!! shoot it again and...

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    Please point out the 2 tapers. I'm going blind but I can still see a little;-) Bulge is typical of a factory chamber.

    Hard to argue with that PP2. I say we give them 1 month to evacuate. Nuke the place and let whoever wants to occupy have at it;-)

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    No and the bbl could be salvaged if you don't mind a plug in the hole. 300 and the rest. Nothing else could cause this. Think about it!

    Hardly. This stew turned in to a pot pie a long time ago. I equate this to converting the U.S. to a homosexual nation. It will take generations of beatings and beheadings to win this war ;-)

    Need some help with my new cannon

    Just because some dumbass was shooting it doesn't mean it is safe. BP is pretty forgiving. As long as it is not cast iron, I'd upgrade the bolts and fire away;-)

    Gunsmithing Problems w/ custom rifle

    Try using your eyeball. I'd bet if you look in the chamber you'll see a hole in the vicinity of the front base screw :-(

    It Hurts me to write this. I feel like a liberal. Tho' I'm 180. I can't comprehend sharia law. These countries live by it. Why? I don't know. Guess a couple of o's and h's dictate. I hate to side with isis but they are fighting for their beliefs. Imagine if o said we are now under sharia. Your...

    Gunsmithing Case Neck Sealing

    Explore duplex or triplex loads. More of a pain but more feasible than trying to cheat physics with a long throat.
