    Barrel Fluting

    I would like to know who that metallurgist was that said that. I visited with the folks at Kreiger several years ago and they said it makes no difference. My experience as well as several shooters that I know agree that "if the barrel didn't shoot competitively before it was fluted, it wont...

    Barrel Fluting

    I cant speak for others but my experience is that fluting (8 or 9 barrels) has never changed the way the barrel shoots. My process is to shoot the barrel and find out if it is competitive before I flute it. I did flute 1 barrel that didnt shoot competitively - It still didnt shoot after I...

    Barrel Fluting

    My eyesight is deteriorating and I find that I need a more powerful (Heavier) scope. Going forward, all my barrels will need fluting to make weight. I have only used Rustlick 5050 water soluble oil when fluting barrels. It worked well for the few barrels that I have fluted. I am out of it...

    Lyman Bore Scope - Any Good ?

    Another source I got one of those from Bangood.com. I think it was about 12 bucks or so. No application was included with mine but It worked with an application called "Yet Another Web Cam." (free on the net) It is very flexible right up to the last 5/8 of an inch. It will indeed fit...

    Lyman Bore Scope - Any Good ?

    Spend your money, take your chances I bought one a year ago. I wanted to be able to take a look in the barrels before I took them out of the lathe. (I have to almost stand on my head to use my Hawkeye in the lathe) It was clear enough for my purposes but it only lasted two days and 1 use...

    RR farley I spoke with Bob about an hour ago. He went thru all his records and said that the Farley with the serial number you provided, has never been in his shop! If it were me, I would contact the seller and discuss it with him. Using the name of a very well respected gunsmith to sell a...

    8208 reclaimed powder

    8208 Most of the Powder marked "8208" is pulled down powder from vietnam era 223. I have been told (unconfirmed) that it is from 223 tracer ammo. Benchrest shooters love the stuff. There are many different lots, the most famous is what is caller "T" powder from Thundirbird Cartrige in...
