    Gunsmithing bolt face "plating" from brass

    Re: bolt face "plating" from brass Thanks for the reply. I've never had this happen to this extent, for that matter my savage 10 doesnt get any at all. My handguns get some suit/carbon on the face but never any brass that I can remember. I went to town on it with brass and fine wire steel...

    Gunsmithing bolt face "plating" from brass

    Here's my dumb question for day: I did a search and couldn't come up with anything pertinent. everything I could find had to do with shavings and chips. My extractor isn't shaving from the case like I read can happen, but my bolt face is being "plated" by the brass. My other rifles haven't...

    Re: Who trued your 700 action? My gunsmith has replaced plenty of barrels for me on various projects, but is not setup for this work.

    Gunsmithing Who trued your 700 action?

    Who did you send it to, and were you happy with the work? Searching the net, It's rather tough to sort between it all and in the end I'd be assuming about the work in most cases. I can't seem to find a set of reviews about a shop in the NW that does awesome work.

    $200.00 Do I start reloading or buy more bullets?

    Re: $200.00 Do I start reloading or buy more bullets? sometimes you can get a rockchucker plus a bunch of other tools and goodies for that-ish on craigslist. Generally it'll take a good chunk more than that to get everything you need.

    bottom metal suggestion please

    It's for a 700 sps varmint in LH (.308). I am getting my order list all together so I can be working on it and keep the ball rolling as other parts are in transit or being made. I'm not 100% on the stock yet, but am down to only two options. Either a Manners T2, or McMillan A-2. Are there...

    Why don't you guys like Savage? Serious question.

    Re: Why don't you guys like Savage? Serious question. Some great posts and some rather biased ones. Me and the guys I shoot with build our rifles to (This might be a shocker!) have fun with, and to put rounds through at the range. I have no concern about resale or depreciation. I enjoy...

    Gunsmithing 30-30 keyhole

    Re: 30-30 keyhole I tried from 125 grain up to 170 grain and none of 'em changed the problem. I even loaded up some with bullets I run out of my .308 to see if I got away from the tube mag type flat nose bullets it would change anything. The barrel's stamped 30-30 win, but I will dowel some...

    Gunsmithing 30-30 keyhole

    I am getting towards the end of what I know to do to solve the problem. It's an old marlin that is tumbling bullets about as soon as they leave the muzzle. The barrel is in good shape, says the gunsmith. one of the first steps in trying to fix the problem was a recrown. I just got the bolt...

    Canted reticle or spin drift?

    Re: Canted reticle or spin drift? If it is tracking off center do you just account for it in your adjustments or is it new scope time?
