    RPR 338 LAPUA BARREL

    Im sure that there are plenty of places that will make you an RPR barrel. Be aware that the magnum frame RPR requires the use of a 1.35" diameter blank to make a replacement barrel. The barrel also needs to be 1.2 max (I believe) in front of the flange so you would need to either special order...

    Trouble shooting - Impact 737 - MDT HNT26 - AW Magazines

    You need to mention what cartridge you’ve running please Also cartridges should be touching the feed lip for the length of the lip. If the base is too low you may need to open the front to let the case head rise up higher Edited for clarity

    When is a chamber too large?

    If your die used to size 308 cases correctly with normal effort, and it’s struggling to resize cases from this new chamber in question, and your using similar/same brass, you should probably contact the gunsmith

    When is a chamber too large?

    if its .001 to .002 over the reamer size thats not enough to affect accuracy. Shouldnt be enough to cause the sizing issues youre experiencing. Most guys with manual lathes have their tailstock off the spindle axis (high, low, left,right, whatever) and getting a chamber .001 or more over the...

    Accuracy International 223 conversion working

    when we install a 223 head we do not use epoxy or thread locker of any kind. The fitment is a slip fit, almost press fit

    the Ai factory bolts do have some sort of epoxy or thread locker between the head and bolt body

    Accuracy International 223 conversion working

    It is completely reversible. Remove the SFP fire control and punch (3) roll pins to change the bolt head. Removal and reinstallation of the pins is straightforward but it has its pitfalls. You can get a pin cross-stuck in the bore of the bolt, and the pins need to be re-installed at a very...

    Accuracy International 223 conversion working

    weve received all the bolts we had on order, took at least 2 years, these bolts are all gone. With the bolt availability and the fiddle-fucking around we need to do with each and every system, were probably gonna let it run its course and retire it. Im not planning on doing another run of...

    Removing AI Rifle Folding Catches

    You might as well just order replacement parts (cross bolt and nib), then grab the nib with vise grips

    Removing AI Rifle Folding Catches

    The fastener goes through the flush cup, through the chassis body, and threads into the folding butt retaining nib. The nib has a radial hole through it so you can get a punch or hex key (sideways) for leverage. If the hex head in the flush cup fastener is stripped then you can try lightly...

    Gunsmithing Gunsmith said this about installing a Tikka prefit

    Tikka barrel removal is tough. But if the barrel we made for you needs to be modified to fit your action, then I want to be the one to do it. While nobody is mentioning this, the more people that mess with your barrel, the less likely any one person is going to want to stand behind it if there’s...

    Crooked throats

    Does every groove look the same? If it’s ramped looking in one place and flat across in another that would be a problem. If it’s ramped in the same direction and looks the same in every groove then that could be a barrel problem

    AXSR VS AXMC Barrel Contour

    The early MC barrels had a flange on them that was 1.4" or so in diameter. It was rather short, just enough to widen the shoulder for support. It tapered quickly down to 1.3" dia or so, not sure. After 2018 I think, they switched to another barrel contour which is similar, or the same, as the...
