    Sidearms & Scatterguns Handguns...show 'em

    Full self build and Cerakote. Dropped a new barrel in it recently to test. New barrel is Killer Innovations; same as the slide. Their barrels are single-point cut rifled. Thread relief in this one put the compensator about 1/3 clock away from slide nose; it is within a few thousandths and...

    self winding tactical watches.... suggestions please

    Check out “Christopher Ward” watches….he has several models. Many strap options as well in his site. I bought a Carbon Fiber/Zirconium bezel Formex. Also a good, small brand, but higher than your stated budget. Super accurate (COSC certified) and super light (87 grams I believe). PS -...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote FX

    You don’t have to mix it at 100% the recommended concentration. You can vary the appearance with different concentrations. I should have some examples over different base colors soon. I have sprayed test coupons in the past. PS - the pen is faded from black to Cosmic at about 50%...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote FX

    These are FX cosmic (which looks blue) over graphite back. The black Manners in “kryptek” is 25% concentration FX Cosmic and sprayed on the graphite black after “tacking out” (yes, you are supposed to spray it wet in wet, but this way gives a less “blue” more ghost grey color with the shimmer).

    Gunsmithing Cerakote FX

    You can use any H-series color as the base. Non-metallics will give you a better reflection of the FX effect. I use FX a good bit.

    e-series cerakote on bolt made it "gummy"

    WTF??? I originally responded in May of 2022. YOU quoted my post from 2022. I didn’t dig this up. And how is my response any later than your lapping compound? If you aren’t trying to be a smart-ass, you’re doing a great job without trying. FYI - almost anyone can remove 0.002” - 0.003”...

    e-series cerakote on bolt made it "gummy"

    I just turn the bolt body 0.002”-0.003” before Cerakote. Lugs and primary extraction cam are untouched. Usually I can tell and have a pretty good history of bolt body diameters to know what dimension(s) are required in the factory Rem 700. Picked this up in a post from LRI years ago.

    Cheek Riser for Wooden Stock

    This can be done on a wooden stock….XLR cheek riser and stand-offs from Grainger supply. Threads on mine are 1/4-20, but i think he changed the thread pitch in the last couple years. Very economical and effective in my opinion if can cut and install the stand-offs yourself.

    Question about a Remington 700 Model

    This is a Lews Horton limited release SPS-LT Tactical in 1:10 twist and 20” barrel with tri-fluting. I’ve owned 2 of them (one threaded and one unthreaded. Both shit really well even in the SPS Varmint plastic factory stock. I put them both in new stocks. I sold the non-threaded version to...

    Best Small Bore 1,000yd Bolt Gun?

    I built my nine year old daughter a 224 Valkyrie bolt gun for the reasons you describe and for about $1500 in its first iteration. I used a Stiller Scout from PTG (yes, I’ve had the same issues as everyone else with PTG, but i have two laser reamers and one good action). The action in 6.8...
