    Suppressors Alignment rods - steel or carbon fiber

    I have Geissele's but McMaster=Carr has some close-tolerance rods that you can pick to the thousandth in diameters; I have used them for some suppressed .22, and as Geiselle advises on his rods, you just need "minute of eyeball" accuracy.

    AR Take Down Tool

    I too made some delrin tools on the lathe for the pins. For the Glocks I modified the Grace tool to accomodate holding the pins for installation start and a brass insert to tap them in.

    Looking for mount with windage/elevation adjustments to co-align LRF with a spotting scope

    Forgot I had to fabricate some offset rails to mount a Daniel Defense 45 deg QD picatinny rail mount. Used a shoulder bolt to secure the LRF-bino to the rail. I had a couple of the STOMP mounts which is the host rail system flipped around a little bit.

    Looking for mount with windage/elevation adjustments to co-align LRF with a spotting scope

    An old thread resurrected and I see above the Sightlok chosen as a contemporary solution. Not rifle mounted , however, before tables were in vogue I used this setup using a red dot optic to sight on target, spotting scope and bino-LRF. It was very efficient at high power magnifications. Could...

    Suppressors Any industry reps willing to discuss helping a state get access to suppressors?

    Not so in Florida! Although gun silencers are not legal in every state, they are legal in Florida. There is no specific law directed at silencers under Florida state law except to define the item as a "firearm"! A gun silencer falls under the definition of a “firearm”. Under Florida Statute...

    Gunsmithing BAR MK3 DBM Help

    These are for the Mk2, but I believe they are relevant for the Mk3 BAR. Some might be interested in how the gas block is related to the sling stud.

    Safariland ALS for PDP w/out light

    The Safariland GLS (Grip Lock ingSystem engages the trigger guard) works well with PDP. One can use the paddle, QLS or their new Ultra Concealable belt attachments. As mentioned above, the ALS (Automatic Locking System) mechanism engages the back edge of the slide-breech area.

    I can't upload anything and the Quote feature doesn't work for me. I thought my content had triggered a Forum Rule trip wire of sorts! Happy Holidays.

    Recommendation for solid sling swivel to picatinny rail adapter

    I used a Gear Sector mfg. picatinny-swivel mount years ago; cannabalized it for another project. Kinda of looks like what someone was looking for. Ebay currently has something like it as well. It would be easy to drill and tap any aluminum picatinny rail for the on-end loop component and cut...

    Gunsmithing Rattle can painting

    Before painting sit your paint can in a bath of warm water to touch, for 10 min...this will greatly improve the spray flow and get a nicer result. IF you really want a final color to stand out, use a white base primer first.

    Multiple caliber kits / conversions question about serial number

    Way over thinking this to my manner of resolution. Unless you are going to create a short barrel rifle on said receiver, I don't believe it matters what caliber barrel is attached to the legal receiver.

    Snap cap paint

    They are. Your observation is impeccable! Get off the wallet and desist using those Carlson's wanne-be's in your gun art. Just the first draw of A-Zoom's in my inventory; never experienced any such flaking with their anodized coatings in thousands of use.

    Gunsmithing Nightmare gunsmith Northwest Precision Rifles * REFUND RECEIVED

    Wow. Seven years of rumination over a bad machining adventure. Not healthy. The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance: Glad someone finally accepted & healed.

    Looking for general hunting gun for Florida hogs and deer.

    Phase 5 Tactical bolt release. I have a number of them installed. Don't recall any difficulties with installation. I do change any bolt retaining roll pin with screw-in style axles to retain the bolt release. And apply marine grade shrink tubing about the lever to prevent marring the finish...

    Looking for general hunting gun for Florida hogs and deer.

    I set this one up specifically for hogs that want to destroy a grass runway in NE Florida. I use it inside 200 yards suppressed. The 14.5" KAC SR-25 is about the same weight with a longer legs to touch the beasts.
