This has to be one of the funniest SH posts ever....
What I would really like to see is a few pics of the set up you use to machine the lugs? on an AR barrel.
After watching the Bartlein video's Frank posted last week my wondering mind got to wondering the following:
I have a Krieger .30 cal 1:8 twist 24" blank I got a while back to build a nice 300 blk. I figured I could make two barrels from this blank. One a 16 inch, the other a 7.5. Yesterday...
I order from PTG regularly and have zero problem with waiting for one-of-a-kind reamers and tools. I have had a few problems over the years but usually they were just as much my fault as theirs. Like, the last time I moved I didn't remember to tell them my new shipping address...well wouldn't...
They didn't screw up the 6-48 to 8-40 screw upgrade...they've invented a Pressure Release Chamber. Instead of setting the chamber back just reduce the pressure on your loads.
I bought the same one on DK's advice and have been happy with the results. You can go all the way to 230gn without the over pressure signs you'd get in a standard chamber. I've also used it to repair a number of crappy chambers punched by Remington and Savage.
Bashing? Weird. I didn't get the impression you were a woman by reading your previous posts. I am so sorry I hurt your feelings. Please tell your husband or boyfriend I sincerely apologize. for being insensitive.
Seriously,
I went through your posting history and saw that you were in too much...
I'd take a breath and be patient.
April 12th was the day you posted wnroscoe's friend Don had just received the action and parts.
If you wanted "off the shelf" times (Mc Donalds style) you should have gone to Columbia and simply bought a rifle at Spotted Dog.
I take the trigger housing apart, put it in the mill, add a trigger adjustment hole then open up the weight adjustment hole so the spring has full range of motion. Then I do the same thing to the over travel screw. Add a Remington 700 trigger return spring, clean up the sear/trigger engagements...
I have a Nodak 5.45x39 one of our brighter customers did some no holds barred home gunsmithing on. I don't have the parts he needs or a riveting set up. The gun is very repairable. I'd really love to send it to one of you guys.
Lamb of God, Slayer, Hatebreed, Pantera...music like that is on in the shop all day, everyday. I told one of the older guys who loves to complain about it that we call it "anti-personnel music" to keep all their asses out of the shop so we can work.
SS_ That's exactly what I was thinking. It gets pretty exciting when guys forget about the .22 cal hole on most unfinished brakes. Forget the peel washers. Take it to someone with a lathe and time it right.
I've repaired a lot of Remington 742's over the years. I've found it to be one of the finest single shot rifles ever made. The same goes for the Winchester 100 but the 742 takes it. One good thing about the 742 these days is the pump conversion kit. Back in the day...30 years ago with a Redfield...
