Bought a couple Shilen's from Northland recently for new PD rifles in process. Anxiously Installed one in a 700 action as soon as it arrived to compare it to a Jewell. I was impressed. 2.6 oz out of the box and into the action with no slam fires and no discernable creep without any...

I had Teddy's quote on my office wall for years....for all to see and admire. Rick M.

RIP Al........... You always pushed the envelope of quantitative analysis. I always wished I could meet you in person. You will be missed.

50/50 Moly/Dry Mica Neck Lube I use a 50/50 mixture of Moly and Dry Mica to lube necks for LR BR bullet seating. I put the mixture in a shot glass to the depth of the case case neck.......no need for steel balls. I merely sink the case neck into the mixture give it a twist, and click the case...

8 Foot Long Baffles Back in the 90's I shot in an evening winter 10-22 50 BR group league. We shot from within the clubhouse with barrels extending out shooting ports. This range is located in a setting with houses within 1/4 mile of the range. In order to muffle the muzzle blasts one of...

Fan in window I shot in a winter evening 10-22 50 BR league back in the 90's. HB Shilen barrels, custom stocks, new or tricked out triggers, sub-sonic ammo only.......Ely, Gold Medal or Lapua ammo etc. 5 shot 5 target agg each week. Cumulative agg winners for the year. We shot from indoor to...

Flitz I've tried Carbon Killer, Carb Out, Wipe Out, CLR and a host of other heralded barrel cleaning products. Like Dan, I've found Flitz to be the best for removing stubborn carbon.

I run a light cut 32 TPI on the pillars....005-.010 deep. It raises the surface just enough to provide a snug fit and nice cavities for the epoxy. If they are a little tight they will sometimes turn into the stock cutting the threads as they go in. Never had one come loose. I let the pillars...

Tazzman thanks for the response.

Chambered a 6.5 SAUM in a 700 LA. It feeds perfectly as is. Is there any reason to block the magazine and cut off the follower if it is feeding as is?? Rick M.

Thanks for replying Dave. I was hoping you would respond. :cool:

Thanks for the reply Mike. After 31 views and no response I was beginning to think that either: 1. I had just divulged one of the deepest inner most trade secrets 2. No one wants to admit to using such an idiotic move 3. No one's ever heard of or tried it Rick M?

@ALINWA "Sometimes when we barrel a rifle we create some tiny smears or burrs where the chambering reamer shears off the lands along the slope of the leade, I have some thoughts about WHY this happens, and how to prevent it, and even how to get rid of it mechanically, but I digress. It DOES...

Just an FYI: Harbor Freight has various sized Pelican clones that may work for the Seb.....$60. Large is 17 7/8 x 6 1/8 x 12 7/8 and waterproof. Just noticed them for the first time at my last trip there.

"Upside down and backwards" I also thread left to right plunging straight in using the DRO. Learned that from my mentor, a 60year machinist who's still doing it and going strong at 75. He calls it "upside down and backwards". That term may be old school to you guys that are machinists by...

I bead blast the lower half of the action, masking off the upper half to the stock line and any holes the would allow the blasting material to enter the action interior. After blasting I wipe it down with lacquer/epoxy thinner removing all dust. Blasting not only cleans and roughs the action...

Webphut, Urban Rifleman markets a 3-D printed, 3 inch wide front bag rider on Accurate Shooter Shooters Forum. It looks like a solid set up, attaching to a Picatinny rail. Rick M.

Thanks Al.........one of your best.

Scales..........Grounding Exterior Box for Static or Electronics Inside????? I have an old VIC 123.....it's zero is very consistent after I changed one of the settings to Auto Re-Zero. I can leave it on for days and its still zero when I return. However I'd still like to ground it. When...

Sorry meant socket not hex Al: Sorry in my addition above I meant to say I start with a socket flat head cap screw and reduce the head to .375 to fit trigger guards. I've also tried regular socket cap screws and they work as well just cutting the 82 degree taper. However Mutual Screw (yes...
