Approximately how much torque do you use to tighten the barrel to the receiver?

No apology necessary Martin...that is a good way to do it. The method I provided is simply a convenient way to measure the finished tenon. Obviously, a DRO isn't absolutely necessary either. One can use travel indicators on the carriage to do the measuring. I'm sure most hobby gunsmiths...

Use a gage ball Do you have a DRO on your lathe? Use this as a poor mans coordinate measuing machine. Put a square tool in the tool holder and set it about 1/2° proud of square and touch off on the shoulder and zero your 'X' axis. Make sure the tool is on center. You are going to use...

...including Krieger barrels. Git 'em while you can!

+1 Jerry...on the parakeet gravel I got the same idea from Ed Watson and Gary Conaway many years ago - and this is what I use. Don't pack the front bag too hard. Remember the 1/4" deflection rule. A lot of poor shooting rifles have been fixed over the years by simply softening the front...

High winds! We definitely had very challenging wind conditions at the Fairchance Gun Club. It was "hard orange" all weekend as it blew from the East from one to five o'clock and never let up: http://youtu.be/-S7k17kuvmI

Never fear...LT-32 is here. Fortunately there will be powder available for the FISS. See y'all there... Greg Walley Kelbly's Inc.

!?!?!? Don't you have a 4-H meeting or a tractor pull to go to!?! :p -g-

Put the old unmodified one back in. Yes.

Imr-4198 I have a factory Rem 700 Varminter with a laminated stock that has been rebedded and recrowned, with an old El Paso steel tubed Weaver T-16 bedded in the rings. With the factory barrel and 23.0g of IMR-4198 (this is a hot load) and the Sierra #1345 55g "Blitz" medium-velocity bullets...

I talked to George last night, and he filled me in on the details. I only hope the bastards swallow the hook the rest of the way so the detective can reel 'em in! I was intrigued by the story of the majority of stolen firearms in Florida going to Kalifornia, and vise versa. I hope to see you...

"...Unusual Events: Darwin was at work and someone came to the range to sell one of my stolen rifles...I now have that one back (Daaaaahhh). A beautiful Panda action, with a March scope and a Scarborough stock. Maybe I will get the other two back also..." [snip] WOW!! I can't wait to hear...

Nat, We quit using UPS many years ago because of excessive damaged packages. They would always argue about our insurance claims. Even when a package arrived run over by a forklift, they had the nerve to dispute the claim. Jim told them to stick it where there is no daylight. We switched to...

Hard Sandbags = Vertical We’ve fixed a lot of bad guns-barrels-scopes-actions over the years by simply removing a bit of sand from both sandbags. Greg Walley Kelbly’s Inc.

Hi Charles - I'd like to use a more massive rest than the standard one we used. Tom used a standard aluminum BR rest for short-range BR guns. I'm not sure pinning the stock in this rest would work very well for this rifle. I've always been amazed when these guys can shoot bullets as big as my...

Slow motion video of my coworker Tom Griffin shooting our prototype 338 Lapua rifle: http://youtu.be/wK9MHWeFUmw The new "MAN-TOY" rifle weighs 20 pounds with a Krieger 33" OS MHV barrel. Stock is the Kelbly '1M'. Attached muzzlebrake is a "Fat Bastard" brand. Accuracy wasn't too shabby...

It's all in wind flag usage... In the early 1970’s when the first NBRSA Nationals was held at Kelbly’s, George Sr. set wind flags over the entire range. The competitors at the time said it was the best improvement ever for the benchrest game. I remember looking at the Nationals trophies with...

Mitchum was also a very convincing bad guy in Night of the Hunter. I saw Sunset Boulevard - I love Gloria Swanson's line when Holden said to her, "...you used to be big in the movies", and she said, "I'm still big...it's the movies that got small!" Holden was in another great movie called...

Great thread…nice to have a conversation about something serious! Much better than the hackneyed “30 BR vs 6 PPC” or “Moly or no Moly?” or “How do I dial in a barrel within gage-maker tolerances on my POS Chicom lathe?” I’m a film noir fan, so… The Big Sleep Maltese Falcon Out of the Past...
