This is coincidental, I am going through the same thing. I have this pattern showing up on my lathe (4003G). Mine is not near this bad, but I'd like to see it go away just the same. I thought it was some type of phase issue from the motor through the gears. I thought that using better bearings...

I'm excited. I plan to join and hope to bring some from friends from Piedmont. I requested time off to come up and help get er back in shape. I'll call you when I know for sure. Lemme know if you need anything else. I have some steel lying around if you need something fabed up. One of the...

This is great news. I have many fond memories of Hawks Ridge and look forward to returning. If my work doesn't have me out of town, I'll be there. I don't think a lease would even be necessary. There's a range lets shoot. Jim

I use a similar process but I found that the tapered bushings can not be involved with a cut out or in a half exposed or possible tipped situation. I insert the bushings from the opposite directions and use a short bushing for the rear end so it is not crooked by the tang before snugging up...

So to those that have the 60x, do you see yourself getting the 80x now?

high power scope users I have a question to those who have 50x or more optics on your rifle. Can you really use the 50x to 80x magnification on targets at different ranges? Will someone with an 80x March offer there expeirences with the mirage during different conditions? Currently my highest...

I haven't seen a bore straight enough to warrant that kind of effort. I guess I can understand doing the best you can. There is something to be said for taking pride in your work, doesn't seem to be out there much these days. The guy seems to me to be selling fluff but the bottom line is if it...

I spoke to Jim Borden about this very thing not long ago and as I remember, he described this as trigger timing. He has or fits the proper hanger to the bolt or action allowing the the sear to engage at the proper point in time so as to not leave too much tension on the sear. The opposite would...

I found this. http://www.forsterproducts.com/catalog.asp?prodid=701228&showprevnext=1 Jim

I was there mostly hanging out with Greg Culpepper, he was kind enough to let me use his equipment. I asked him to introduce me to you. For what ever reason, he didn't see you when I was with him. Maybe next time. Do you ever come to Piedmont? Got a couple more people I'd like to meet some time. Jim

Jerry, I was saying that I was thinking along those lines "at one point" also. After some thought, I realised that would not do all that what I wanted it to do with out being more elaborate if not possible or at least not feasible. Anyway with all the other things involved, it is probably just...

I tried playing with or tuning the gun with the action screws. That had zero effect, which I guess is a good thing. I think that means there is no bend in the action? Russ, that is a interesting find you made. Makes sense. I wish thats what it is. jackie, ss or cm, any difference?

Ditto. I thought that a nitride bath might do the trick. I didn't have much luck with the lapping with JB thing as directed by BAT. I thought that the JB might not be aggressive enough, but couldn't imagine possibly ruining my action with lapping compound. I was/am looking to buy an action with...

Jack, I was thinking along the lines of a tail stock 4 jaw at one point also. What that would do though, would only correct the center line coincidence (offset) and not correct any angular misalignment. You would need 2 adj. points on the tail stock to hold the reamer. This of course would not...

Greg is that Varget or Pixie your using? Jim

Heck, if you want to, you can come another 2.5 hrs from Raleigh down rt 1 to 74west to Monroe, NC. I'll take ya shooting at my range if I'm not out of town working. Pm me if interested. We can kill a whole day. Merry Christmas, Jim

Hey Butch, how bout some close up shots of that stock? I'd like to kinda see whats going on with the laminate. You can send them pm if you want. Any other woods that would be cool to make a stock from? I like the sound of using Balsa and composites. I'm still collecting parts and materails for...

I think its legal. I've seen stocks with channels milled in the bottom, just not all the way through or past where it rides in the bags. I will research before I show up at a match with one though. Thanks for the heads up. I think there is a difference between the eastern and western cedars...

henrya I just saw your post about the weight of cedar. I didn't realize how heavy it was. The site I was reading from implied that it was light. At any rate, what ever woods I elect to use, there won't be the normal amount. They told me I would never make weight with a 29" 1.25dia. tube in a...

I had forgotten about this thread. Butch, that is a fine looking stock. I've been thinking about carbon fiber or rather how to apply it and use it to strengthen a lighter stock. I have read elsewhere where some woods produce problems when the dust from them are inhaled. I'll need to use...
