    Redding Small Base die question

    Thanks for the responses. I obtained a Redding small base die yesterday. The documentation inside the box said that the small base die has the same dimensions as the full length die with the only difference being that the small base die does not size the neck. Since I already have a...

    Gunsmithing request of the week

    Perhaps I'm wrong but I thought that all of the 597 family was 22 rimfire. It has got to be difficult to "blow apart" a 22, much less do it twice. Perhaps this is left over from an April 1 posting. :cool:

    Redding Small Base die question

    Thanks for the response. I didn't get a call back from Redding. That is why I asked the question here. Does anyone know the diameter of the base on the Redding 6 mm small base die. I already have a Harrel #3 and need a bit more sizing at the base. I have a Redding 6 ppc full length die...

    import lathe motor replacement/upgrade

    I just replaced the motor on my 1990's Grizzly mill. I got a 3 phase 1.5 hp motor from www.surpluscenter.com and a Huanyang vfd from the Y&F group on ebay. The motor was about $125 delivered and the vfd was $102 delivered. It was interesting that the vfd arrived the same day that the motor...

    Source for Long Indicator points

    Indicator points I appreciate the replies. I didn't think of MSC or Travers because I never usually buy from them. 53 bucks is a little steep for an indicator point for the B&S so I will go with the one for the mitutoyo. I do understand the issue of the indicator readings changing with...

    Source for Long Indicator points

    I have a B&S BesTesT indicator (7033-5) that I would like to use with a long indicator point. The standard length is .5 inches. I want to reach into the throat area of a 6 ppc. About 1 3/4 to 2 inches with a .060 - .080 ball would be great. I have tried a local indicator shop with no...

    Thunderbird 8208

    Should a Rail BBL be parallel to rails

    A couple of weeks ago, I and several other engineers were having a discussion on the subject of rail gun tracking. One of them made this statement: "The bullet travels in an arc so why is it important to have the scope track the target perfectly?" We all just looked at each other and changed...
