    Remington Rangmaster Needs some smithing

    Quick question, I have an old Remington Rang-master, the one with the thick barrel. It's needs some work , some stuff with the bolt is really messed up.

    Rechambering a .308 Win barrel to .300 Win Mag.

    Anyone cut a .300 Win Mag chamber into an existing .308 Win chamber? I have a new Shilen short chambered barrel, but I need a .300 Win Mag barrel. I don’t see any reason it can’t be done, but I have never done it before.

    Honing shotgun chamber

    So I bought a beat up single shot 12 guage to turn into a legal sawed off. I was at a gun show in San Antonio and stopped to look at it because I had never seen one that had the lever in front of the trigger guard. I thought it was cool but he had it marked 100 bucks. Little much so I started to...

    Gunsmithing Reliable Blueprints for AR15/10

    Hello all, I'm curious if anyone knows where to find reliable blueprints. I have an AR15 lower because the Colt redraw is seemingly ubiquitous in many a form. I don't have much else pertaining to the AR15 upper, or the upper/lower set for the .308. If you have and would be willing to share, I...

    Tikka T3x Rebarrel

    I'm sure there is a better forum to have this in, but as a new guy I'm not sure which one, so feel free to move it. Now to the meat of the post. I have a tikka t3x action that I am considering rebarreling myself with a prefit (It will probably be a shouldered prefit). The goal is to be a...

    Gunsmithing Great Smith in northeastern Ohio

    I live in NE Ohio and am looking for a reputable smith who does superb work on precision rifles. I’m looking for one who can chamber, flute, thread, crown and properly swap barrels for my bolt-action rifle. I would prefer one in Ohio, but one of the surrounding states works as well.

    Gunsmithing Bushing Firing Pin Affect Headspace?

    Does bushing a firing pin change a rifle’s headspace to the point of it becoming unsafe, excessive, detrimental to accuracy, etc.? Should I wait to have the pin bushed until I’m ready to rebarrel? From the research I’ve done, it seems that custom shops (LRI, Gretan) either mention the topic or...
