    Gunsmithing First build done!

    Re: First build done! All at 100yd. Not too bad for its first day out... a lot of the wide groups are me sucking more than anything else. I initially started out shooting a bunch of M2 ball that I brought, and it didn't group well at all... 1.5-2" minimum at 100yd. Then I started...

    Gunsmithing Who has bottom metal?

    Re: Who has bottom metal? Bottom metal is very nice... I had to do some inletting work on my B&C A2 for it to fit. My only concern is that the screws that came with it seem to be way off from what they need to be. Based on the pillars that come with it, it seems like I need a 1" front screw...

    Gunsmithing Who has bottom metal?

    I'm looking for some kind of DBM bottom metal for a rem700 long action, and it seems like the entire world is out of stock. There's plenty of short action to go around, but long action bottom metal is made of unicorn meat or something... Anyone know of a place that might have some in stock?

    Gunsmithing Q: Inletting a McMillan stock.

    Re: Q: Inletting a McMillan stock. I did the barrel channel on my B&C today... I went and bought a 1" core box router bit, set it up in my 6" swivel vise, and did it in three cuts. Didn't bust through into the core. BTW, the 2x4 forend on the B&C A2 may be ugly and kinda uncomfortable...

    Gunsmithing Q: Inletting a McMillan stock.

    Re: Q: Inletting a McMillan stock. I have a B&C A2 coming in the mail this week... the barrel that I'm using is a shilen 7HV contour, and it's a very very heavy barrel. I'm sure I'm going to need to open up the barrel channel for it. What's the best way to go about it? I have a mill...

    Gunsmithing Using used barrels

    Re: Using used barrels The barrel I'm working on for my build is a #7 varmint taper... it's got 5" of 1.25" straight, and then straight taper to like .900" at 28". I bet I could shoot this barrel out and rechamber/recrown it a dozen times if not more

    Gunsmithing hitch in my bolt giddyup

    I've heard of this happening before... what causes it? Should I just stone the burr off to try to smooth it out some? Or should I do something drastic and try to weld it up a little bit and restore the cam profile?
