    Inletting an action sans the barrel?

    We install bedding blocks for Barnards all the time without the actual action and barrel. The catch is that you must make an assumption, ie that the barrel guy will index it up or down if it is not straight as is. We use a real action with an appropriate barrel installed and we check and make...

    Pressure Signs, Where To Start

    I had a 223 that produced craters jagged enough to draw blood and the odd puncture. Everyone said "pressure". Pin protrusion was too short and a weak spring. Fixed them both and the problem was totally gone, and the gun started to shoot well which it had never done.

    The British Want Their Guns Back

    The issue that all US gun owners should be dealing with is the current attack you are under. Looks like you will be taxed out of business. Your gov is getting around to effectively banning any gun exports from the US. I don't know what % of sales are in the rest of the world but they must be...

    Exporting of firearms...

    It works both ways. We in Canada are being forced to look at other countries for both imports and exports as I suppose are others. I also received the email from Lilja. I have no problem buying from Canadian barrel makers, quality wise as I feel they are as good as any. I hope they add some...

    stock spiderweb effect

    Problem with Krylon is that cleaning solvents will attack it. You really need a two part poly like Polane. There is a spray gun for the effect I think but I don't remember who makes it. I have not tried to do it but I have heard of mixing polystyrene foam (insulation) into the paint to make it...

    Fiberglass stock inlet & Finish

    Pigment You should have received pigment with the stock as the guys have mentioned. If you did not and you bought it direct let me know by email who you are and we will get it to you.

    Problems with Grizzly Lathe

    I have a G4003G and have been very pleased with it. The story is that if Grizzly does not know the problems they can't fix them for the next guy! Spindle is not as advertised, not 1.625. Spider screws are too long, end guard must be removed to use them. Oil ports don't work, balls don't move...

    Lee Collet Die Adjustment

    Don't over do it It is easy to use more pressure than needed with a collet die. My Forster press will easily reform the die until it will not work properly. The way to set up for the max resize is to measure the neck as you screw down the die. When it no longer gets smaller it's time to...
