    Gunsmithing I Know I'm Gonna Get Hammered ;-)

    This is more for conversation than a miracle cure. Just thought I'd throw it up and see what sticks. I've only heard of one other rifle that did this but I didn't shoot to verify. Scraps I put together, Pre '64 70 in 375 H&H #3 Douglas XX walnut stock acraglas bedded from tang to fe tip...

    Best of luck to all of you who are participating! Wish I was there ;-( I hope some of you give us updates on how it goes.

    The Turd is Back ;-)

    Much to the dismay of many, I survived another temp revocation of my 1st amendment rights relatively unscathed ;-) Thanks Frank From now on, no more politics for me. I'm going to TRY to stick to kiddie pool topics like "who can inlet dbm bottom metal" or "need gunsmith in ________________...

    Looks like fox has 'em against the ropes. ;-) It'll be fun to watch 'em dodge the incoming bullets.

    Gunsmithing How do they do it?

    This one came in for a rebarrel. Lug pinned and face "squared". Only the top bolt lug bears. Seems to have been set up off axis. I don't think you could get it .002" off chucking it in a crappy 3 jaw. Somebody please 'splain it to me ;-) FYI, I couldn't believe it so I rotated...

    Gunsmithing Turd Polishin'

    Found this puppy at a local shop and decided it would make a good project. Spent way more time on it than it is worth but it should make a good pig shooter.

    Gunsmithing Chambering Without Forced Fluid

    Been fighting it for years and just dealt with it. Makes me think about what an old man told me yrs ago. A young man will work with a pebble in his shoe. An old man will stop and remove it. Guess I'm old enough to stop and remove the pebble. Or at least try. Most reamers I've used cut on...

    Neat Piece

    Don't know if it qualifies as a sniper but it is vintage. Springfield converted about 1100 Spencer carbines to rifles in 1871. I was lucky enough to help restore one. Hardest part was drilling the ram/cleaning rod hole. After sending this pic to the museum, I busted back the stain and added some...

    Gunsmithing The ULTIMATE Easyout

    Here's a tip for you bitches. <----- Mainly for Woodsy and a little shot for Chad. Everyone's been there. Broken screw extractors don't work well because the theory is flawed. They're usually too big for 6 and smaller screws. They suck in and expand what's left of the screw after you drill...

    Gunsmithing Bedding Opinions

    CST didn't teach us bedding so I learned from the guy at the shop I worked at after school. His method was to bed the rear tang and from the front of the mag well up to about the chamber neck area. I decided that bedding a tapered bbl was a bad idea. Heat expansion, yada yada yada. I've...

    Gunsmithing Metric Threads

    When I cut metric, if I disengage the lead screw, I can never get the tool to pick up where I made the last pass. No matter where I re-engage the screw. Anybody know why?
