    Trigger weight for target shooting

    Gunsmithing Torque on Action Screws

    Re: Torque on Action Screws I started with 50 in-lbs on my AICS but amusingly before that I accidentally torqued it to 25-30 FT-lbs when I was using the wrong tool. Led to a huge ordeal, please don't make that mistake. I've heard people having success anywhere from 50-65 in-lbs, but I...

    Re: OK: Well, at least she isn't a teacher ... Reminds me of the South Park episode where Kyle's younger brother Ike has an illicit relationship with his attractive teacher. "Nice!"

    Member Link Up I need help in IL

    Re: I need help in IL Well it appears my luck is better than I could have hoped. After a gunsmith and a machine shop both failed to get the screws out, I took the rifle over to the contractor my parents have used for their home for a long time and it looks like he got them right out. Says the...

    Southwest Ammunition wait?

    Re: Southwest Ammunition wait? Mine should be getting to my place today, but I'll have to pick it up later because I won't be home. But to answer the question, they did get it shipped out, just took a little while. Hopefully after I get my .308 repaired/replaced I can start trying it out

    Removing stuck action screws

    Re: Removing stuck action screws After initially messing this up I'm kind of doubtful of myself, is there a special technique for drilling the heads off of this screw? It's an allen head as previously mentioned.

    so you want to shoot 308 to a mile?

    Re: so you want to shoot 308 to a mile? Bill, he's talking about a mile, not just 1k yards. However, the gentleman who posted his lovely shoot up north was shooting 1600yds I believe and still piercing his target. Although if I remember correctly from the article he did have keyholing. I'd...
