    For your enjoyment: Sir Charles shooting at 200 at the 2013 WBC (article with video)

    I was amazed at how easy his rifle bolt opened and closed. My Rem 40X rimfire has to be held in the rest to keep from tipping. What is the big difference? Trying to learn something here. Wayne

    Eley Match Ammo

    Landy; Finally got on without the popup. I will take at least one brick. Wasted a lot of money trying to find out what was wrong with my rifle. Shot lousy at the Nationals again this year. 101 out of 106 isn't good. Changes are in order. See you Sunday. Wayne

    Eley Match Ammo

    Champions Choice has this listed for $1358.00 case price. No one else seems to have any. Is this not selling because it is older ammo? Need answers before purchasing. Wayne

    New Grizzly 16x40 "Gunsmithing" Lathe First Impressions

    My 3 year old g0509 Grizzly also leaks. The quick change gearbox is what is leaking. It only leaks till the level is below the sight glass then stops. I've talked to grizzly quite a few times and they make out their report then nothing. I just quit filling it and it stopped leaking and so far...

    installing a dro on a lathe??

    This is what my brackets look like. The brackets that come with it are worthless as is. They all have to be modified or make your own. My lathe is a G0509. About 3 years old. I can take better pictures if I remove the rear splash guard but not easy with the wires attached to it. Willing to...

    Using Heat to remove a barrel

    I have only done 2 but did it the hard way. I cut off the excess recoil lug with a hack saw then turn the remaining lug round and cut a small groove in the middle of the lug. With the groove cut through to the threads you can turn the barrel off by hand. No harm to either barrel or receiver. Wayne

    Winchester Model 52C Trigger Repair

    I have some that I got with some other parts but none of them have a sharp corner. I've never messed with anything like that so I don't know if they can be redressed or not. If interested PM me your address and I will send one to you for free. Wayne

    D1-6 back plate question, cat head/spider

    I don't know how close the holes would be depends on the diameters. If the d1-6 pins are at 0-60-120-180-240-300. Put the 4 screws at 50-140-230-320. It looks pretty good on paper, real life might be different. Wayne

    I have to move a mill

    ebb: you may be right about the shielding but I thought it was to protect the wires from hot chips. Maybe good for both uses. Wayne

    I have to move a mill

    Glad you got it moved. Like skeetlee said earlier they are a lot easier to level up than a lathe. The fun starts when the chips start to fly. Wayne

    I have to move a mill

    If the head can be rotated to the bottom that is the thing to do. Bridgeports and grizzlys are shipped that way. Lay 2 x 4s on the bed and snug it up against the head. Helps steady things. Then pick it up by the ring on the top. Changes the center of gravity by a lot. Wayne

    Have you ever heard a reamer squeak while reaming????

    Never heard one squeak, but as a rookie machinist I did hear a couple snap. Not a good sound. Wayne

    Stock inletting

    The digital readout on my mill is capable of doing that but I am not. Read the book for 2 hours and still can't do it. Wayne

    Stock inletting

    I use a 5/8 radius core box cutter. 2 passes down the middle to .687 deep, raise your cutter .005 and out .053 each side. A lite cleanup with a dowel wrapped in sand paper and you are good. Haven't seen any remington 700s that aren't real close to 1.356 dia. Wayne
