    Rimfire Chamber Reamers

    I had one Clymer 22 LR solid pilot reamer that was incorrectly ground so that it wanted to cut in the middle of the cutting edge & was also kind of big. Rather than send the reamer back, I used the TP grinder to get a smaller diameter & correct the relief. I've acquired several other used Clymer...

    Shilen DGA "extractor plunger"

    The savage uses a ball and the BAT uses one like the Winchester (I think). Why not go to Home Depot & buy a ball to try. If it doesn't work, then just make one like the Winchester. Ron

    Which Metal To use.

    cdupuy, The one thing that I did to my Cadet in rimless 222 (conversion from Frank DeHass books) was to lap the block face square to the bore. I made a threaded stub to align the lap with the receiver & the rifle shoots quite well. I just picked up another Cadet in 357 mag that I'll rebarrel to...

    Which Metal To use.

    Take a look how the block fits into the receiver. The pin does not take the load so either steel would do. Regards, Ron

    refitting factory remington barrels

    When Dick's had sale on 700 varmints & Remington also gave a rebate, I bought one in 308 with the idea of making it a 30BR. I never got around to it. It's still sitting there as a virgin! I did convert a 788 rem from 22-250 to 30BR, so that took much of the pressure off doing anything with the...

    refitting factory remington barrels

    Bob Pease used to offer a "poor man's PPC" made from 222 Rem BDL varmint rifles. The barrels were set back & rechambered to 22 PPC, the bolts were opened up for the PPC. GFI! Regards, Ron

    Weaver XR Series

    A friend that ordered his XR46 after mine also has the oil dot problem, so back it goes! savet06 has one that's still going at last report. I may order an XR36, or go with a Leupold 46x. The 1/16" dot was nice, but my old eyes might be happier with a larger dot. Regards, Ron

    Weaver XR Series

    Shinny, Nope, mine was stored horizontally & developed the spots just sitting in the off season. Mike Suhie's is still good & has been shot more than mine, so it's not just a matter of position or number of rounds. Regards, Ron

    Weaver XR Series

    It was a nice scope when I put it away for the winter! I bought and XR 46X last summer & was happy with it all last season. Pulled it out today to try before a match tomorrow & there are the oil spots. It looks like someone shot the target with a load of #8 shot! A call to Weaver gave me a...

    single point threading is 'Mickey Mouse'??

    I missed that part too at first glance. Then I re-read it to find this: "A specially turned mandrel that matches the actions bore exactly is turned with a CENTER ON THE NOSE THAT FITS INTO THE CENTER DRILLED HOLE IN THE NOSE OF THE TAP that the manufacturers use to cut and grind the tap."...

    h l culver conversion

    Use your Culver/Lyman & enjoy it. I bought a Culver/Lyman at an embarrassingly low price several years ago from an elderly shooter who was only interested in passing it along to someone who would use it - which I do. It's a prized keepsake & I wouldn't give it up for $350. After several...
