I have one of these in a .243 Win. dual bolt face. It wouldn’t shoot less than 2 inches with anything I fed so I cut and recrowned the barrel, no change. Removed the barrel and chucked it up in the lathe, found that the shoulder was out of square by .005 so I corrected it, lost headspace by.003...

Hart will….I had one done about 5-6 years ago but I wouldn’t go down as far as you are talking. If you turn one down it would be wise to turn a straight dia. from the breach to the muzzle such as a Palma contour?? I also had one done by McGowen some 20 years ago and it destroyed it, went from a...

Bill; I have found that MTM P-100-9 do an admiral job, they keep everything free from dust, dirt or any foreign matter. You can store lubed jackets in any stage without worry of contaminating them and finish the process as time permits. I use them for 6mm and 30’s, Cabela’s also has their brand...

mslam: I was thinking the same thing.

This site will give you an insight to buffing/polishing, a condensed version of how abrasives are used. It leans to the side of being an Art; do not use the same wheel with brown compound as the finishing white compound and the type of wheels used make a big difference. Not all aluminum’s are...

Just to verify what Terry has stated, I to had the same thing this past winter. Working with a vintage 700 of my own, early 70’s, I purchased a takeoff .243 Varmint barrel of late production to play with. My measurements were almost a carbon copy of Terry’s; I would guess that that his barrel...

Ask Bill Gammon, he has used it for years.

Great match, thanks to all of ya that put it on….Frank thoroughly enjoyed himself, after many years of across the course shooting it is a relaxing sport for him. We were not antisocial for not going to McFarland’s; we just had an agenda to adhere to, when ya pack three in one vehicle, everyone...

Joe, I will tell you what I use and why. The bar is a ¾ “cut down to ½ inch, on edge, Style TNMC-32YY, Grade 918 by RTW. Why is, it was given to me, I had it altered to fit my machine and it has done an admiral job. I did a muzzle brake on my .338 this past winter, ½ “x 32 thread with it. Until...

I'll be there, hopefully bringing another shooter with me. Dudley is gone to the west pond. Rick

Dick, I had every intention to make it this Saturday but the wife made the reservations and our flight is leaving on Thursday morning. We will see ya in June. Rick

Leather scoep caps It’s time I chimed in. First of all a thank you to Francis, Paul, and the rest for there kind words. Yesterday I was swamped with e-mails, got mixed up with a couple and apologize for that. From this response I have to buy a new computer today, this has been coming for a long...

Thanks Al. .I had almost ordered one of those annealing tips but never found anyone that had used one, was looking for a warm fuzzy first. I have used temp-lac sticks in the past, must have been 20+ years ago for heat treating some projects. Thanks again Al. Remy, That tip that Al is...

Al, I am curious as to what type of annealing process you use? This is something I need to pursue for I have used the same 140 cases for 2 years now. Thanks Rick

This is A McGowem barrel. I noticed the same thing as Bill with the rifling. It slugged well, bore was lapped very well, broke in in 3 rounds, but haven't shot it yet. Winter has been toooo looong, snow too deep and they will not plow the range. It will be interesting, my budget was small and...

A question for Bill Leeper, Lapping a factory barrel or any chambered barrel without the aid of having a piece of cut off barrel to make laps with, what is the secret of poring good laps? I spent a good 8 hours one day attempting to make a lap for an old varmint barred, never did get a good...

Husqvarna. I just checked my HVA .308, this was my dad's rifle but I can't remember which model it is. They made a Crown grade which was one step above what I have. At one time he had a catalog of all models but it was lost. I believe this rifle was purchased in 1957, has the same markings as...

Joe: Check out this video link, probably the best explination of bolt timing....Rick http://www.sgrcustomrifles.com/us/bolt-timing-video
