I have always used a carbide insert parting tool, .........maybe its just not been sharp enough or not well centered enough for Grade 8. Thanks........I'll try that again re-checking for center and sharpness.

I don't use a center. Does a center bottom out in the hex recess? Al: I don't even bother to to use a center, sticking the head out of the chuck the minimum necessary. I use a 60 degree insert and set the compound for a 11 degrees to arrive at the 41 degree cut. Rick M. Added: Please note...

Air Cut Off Tool I make action screws from flat head socket cap screws..........stainless or black oxide as required. I turn the head down to .375 and move the 82 degree taper up to the .375 head diameter. This may be old school to most but I thought some may find it useful info. I too use a...

Sig Saur Sierra 3 BDX Sig Saur Sierra 3 BDX.......It pairs smart phone and range finder data via Blue Tooth to adjust the scope aiming point.

1/2 inch pink construction foam insulation backer and 65# copy paper targets I have had the same 4x4 sheet of 1/2 inch pink construction foam as my target backer for about ten years. It is self healing and impervious to weather. Targets are usually stapled in the same place and it has yet to...

Good Stuff of Which You Write Al, Your first paragraph reads like a lead in to a Stephen King novel, "Stand by Me" comes to mind. It brought back many old memories.... good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Yes this. Bed it in Devcon or Marin-tex floating the barrel and fill forearm voids with Accra-Glass/lead shot mixture to stiffen it and fill buttstock with lead shot only and you will have a 17 pound bench gun capable of 1/2 to 3/4 MOA. Works well with bipod or front rest and rear bag. I don't...

.243 to SAUM Conversion Al: I converted a .243 700 SA to a 6.5 SAUM using a Wyatt extended box. Besides opening the rails and extending the box mortise 'there are two points at the rail/ramp junction that need to be opened up to allow the cartridge to pass up the feed ramp'. Used a Dremel to...

Thanks Al. I should noted that this is for LR application. I've previously only pinned my rails. There's still a few tenths theoretical movement on the slip side of each dowel pin, which I put on the action rather than the rail, so it appears that it would benefit from gluing as well.

Pin and Glue??? For BR would you benefit from pinning and gluing Picatinny rails??? Or is either sufficient on its own??‘

2 Inch Pink Construction Foam Core Laminated between 1/4" Plywwod 2 inch pink construction foam core laminated between 1/4 inch plywood with 2"x 3/4" wood sides sandwiched around the edge makes a very stiff and light top. The foam can be cut out for plywood blocks where leg fasteners are...

Check out the Bargain Cave If u have a Cabella's nearby check out the Bargain Cave. I acquired a 12x40 HD Leupold at about 50% of MSRP a few years ago. It was as NIB. I made the offer expecting a counter offer from the manager. To my surprise, the sales person came back with "we're good to...

I don't know re: the #10803. This was circa 2010. It was a grind to fit pad. Limbsavers are very efficient IMO. Rick

RCE1: I have seen a LimbSaver pad deteriorate into a similar sticky mess. I called Limbsaver customer service and the agent asked me the year of installation. I said it was approximately 2007. The agent acknowledged that they had become aware of a batch from that time period that did not meet...

Thank you Bill. I'll order some with the medium activator.

Engrbill: Thank you for your reply. Can you give me any advice on the activator speed to use? Rick

Does anyone have any experience with the Speedokote clear coat line of products for use on walnut and laminate gunstocks? If yes which product did you use and what speed activator. Thank you in advance. Rick

Barrel Torque the likely issue. Since you have likely eliminated the lug alignment issue I suspect that re-torquing the barrel after removal is the issue. I had a similar problem with a Remington 700 Varmint barrel I removed to thread for a suppressor. I had previously pillar bedded it in...

Yes I know that the Hawkeye mirror reflective coating can be wiped away too.......it also happened to a friend. However, I find it ironic that Hawkeye recommends isopropyl alcohol or acetone as an alternative for their Hawkeye lens cleaner for cleaning the mirror. I would have thought that...

I used a Lyman for two years cleaning the mirror occasionally with brake cleaner on a soft patch. The last time I cleaned the mirror I wiped off 50% of the mirror coating. Tried to get a new mirror from Lyman to no avail.........no parts available for this unit....Lyman said I had to buy the...
