In my case I'm trying to get the action to sit as tightly as possible into the bedding not onto the pillar. In theory I will agree that sitting on both is the ideal situation, but sitting into the bedding is what you're after. I generally use a flat top pillar and bed over that to get the...

Being a Palma Team Captain is a full time-time part time job and I doubt it would leave any time for another shooting discipline during this time. Outside of doing that, being a gunsmith gives you chances at shooting all other disciplines including benchrest. Developing a ladder test doesn't...

An old BR Remington 700 action would make a great base for a varmint rifle build. All the work has been done and you can probably get one for a great price. Be careful when rebarreling and be sure to check the thread diameter as that has probably been modified to a larger diameter.

Hmmm, April 1st?

If you want to do the barrel lug as part of the rear sight you could just use this one. https://www.newenglandcustomgun.com/Gun_Services/item_info.asp?Brand_id=4296&ST=Ring%20Base%20for%20Rear%20Sight No excessive heat required, just lead solder.

Dovetail the lug into the barrel and then soft solder it to keep it from coming loose. Silver soldering or welding will alter the heat treat on the barrel in that spot, maybe even warp it. You can dovetail the lug in and then finish the base to the contour of the barrel and make a really nice...

With a 14 twist barrel you might have better luck with 40, 45 or 50 grain bullets.

I wish I had the time to listen to the videos or read his books. A different perspective on the war in Europe which seems to be frowned upon there as much as racial opinion is here.

I sure would like to give that Voere system a lap or two around the range. I don't see where they use the same or different trigger or how the trigger fires the laser. If Al is correct you still have a mechanical trigger and haven't solved the whole problem yet. But, I see possibilities.

Had a friend that tried to use one in competition because of the absence of a firing pin and instant ignition. Trigger pull killed it though and he went back to conventional actions. As far as I know he still has it along with a big supply of primers.

Might be wrapped up in ITAR unless your 'smith has his ITAR permits.

I have a good friend that has been shooting carbon fiber barrels for a couple of years in the long range prone game. In fact, he is sponsored by Proof Research. We shoot 20 round matches plus sighters in a time limit of 30 minutes. I can say that his barrels are definately cooler than my...

Entirely dependent on condition. Being in a school it has been used and probably abused by students who may or may not have had any idea on how to work it. See if you can move the spindle, just grab the chuck and shake it, to see if there is any play. Check the bed ways for wear as well as the...

That's the reason I never lend books anymore. They just seem to disappear never to return.

I'm going to take a different direction than most of you in regards to the GG method of centering up a barrel. I have used this method and I don't use it any more. When the breech end of the barrel is clamped in the chuck with a wire or bar to allow it to swivel it must be left less than an...

Mike, The bolt handle should be removed before welding on the camming surface. You can't do a good job welding it on the bolt, the solder will probably just melt and the bolt will fall off and you'll have to re-solder it anyway.

While at Camp Perry a couple weeks ago I went to a local car show/gathering in one of the shopping centers in Port Clinton. Saw a minty '62 Chevy, red on red, 409 with dual quads. Even had the old Borg Warner "mystery shifter". Too cool!

Thanks Tim. You're shooting some great groups with that rifle too.

I've had this happen when I was using a coolant flush system. The reamer starts squeaking like crazy when you are near the end of finishing the chamber. I would stop flushing and go to a cutting oil/ATF mix and it would stop. Different reamers and different bbl. manufacturers. Leads me to...

I like the Bisley 150 rule reamer as a general .308 reamer. You can get one from PTG.
