Jerry, hope everything is going well. Thank God for modern medical technology. Best regards and good shootin' ! Gene Beggs

The Beggs tuners are all .900 x 28 tpi.

Pete, the 1/16" rubber gasket I added to the Beggs tuner is, in no way, a snubber. It does two things: 1. Removes all backlash from the threads and provides friction to hold the tuner in position. 2. Eliminates the use of tools to make adjustments. Yep, it's hard to believe what...

Heart warming to say the least ! Pete Waas, FBecigneul, Hayscott, et al. Guys thank you so much for the kind words about the Beggs barrel tuners. The past sixteen years of development, testing and shooting matches with my tuners have been the most interesting and rewarding of anything in...

Wayne, it does indeed sound like you have an early reamer that is .440 diameter .200 in front of the bolt face. This was changed to .4420 to let the cases expand a little more so the sizing die has more to work with. If you do your own machine work, the barrel can be removed, placed in your...

Imperial sizing die wax is probably the best but I've used several other oils and greases; I have yet to find one that will not work. Mike Ratigan says he wipes his new cases with a patch of 3-in one oil. I enjoy using it because its smell reminds me of my first pellet gun I had when I was a...

Ol' Beggs again. Guys, for those of you who have ever experienced stiff bolt lift and/or 'click-at-the-top' extraction, try this. Whether you shoot a 6ppc, 6Beggs, or maybe even a 6BR try working up a single new case as I described above reloading it several times, lubricating the loaded...

Ol' Beggs again. Wayne, and others; pull up a chair, get comfortable and listen up; this is important. About the time I think I've seen it all during my years in benchrest, something comes along and makes a fool of me. The latest such experience occurred last fall after I chambered a 220...

Looks like a very nice facility. Congratulations for a job well done ! Gene Beggs

Retired, I hate to show what a DA I am but I don't understand what you mean by "Take the screw and the bushing off, plenty of flow." Thanks, Gene Beggs

I've been studying these flush systems for years and believe this is the best one I've seen yet. So simple, inexpensive and clean. Thanks for sharing. Gene Beggs

Right On ! Mike you are right on with everything you said about the Hall M action. Allan Hall is still alive and kicking down there in Alabama. I spoke with him a few weeks ago when I returned one of my bolts for repair after I screwed it up. It is now as good as new. Allan is now mostly...

Pete, we are making progress. The only thing we need to clear up is whether you go in or out when temp goes up. Very simple; when the rifle begins to go out of tune by showing vertical we need to speed the barrel up a bit. With your behind the muzzle Beggs tuner turning it 'out' speeds it up...

Tune for wind vs calm Richard, I have had several hall of fame shooters tell me in the past many years that they always leave a little vertical in their tune when shooting in heavy winds. Gene Beggs

Pete, I'm sorry we've had trouble communicating by e-mail. I've been busy with other things and have not had time to join the discussion but I'll make the time. :) As to whether or not you should have the tuner installed when you develop your 'go to' load, some top level shooters disagree on...

WOW is right ! Richard, you just do not do anything half ass; do you? That is terrific! Can't wait to see it all later this year. Gene Beggs

Yes. Nothing there. I just sent a test e-mail to your alternate address. Pete, we may just as well carry on our tuner discussion here on the forum as I'm sure others would like to hear about it. We've made a lot of progress in recent times thanks to Mike Ezell and Richard Brensing. Later...

Pete, please e-mail me and I'll help you. We've made a lot of progress with tuners in recent times. :) Gene Beggs genebeggs@cableone.net

Wilbur, there are some things that only God can help us with. May He be with and richly bless you and your family during this most difficult time. Gene Beggs

Wilbur, words fail me but I wanted to say, thinking of and praying for you. Your friend in West Texas, Gene Beggs
