All my best to you and yours, Reed. Godspeed, Dwayne.

Congrats...thanks for posting this. :) -Al

Amazing, Pat...what a keepsake. :) -Al

With the steel one for a pattern, an aluminum version can be done on a water jet. I did a reverse of this to  add weight to the bottom of my Hart/Sinclair rest. Good shootin' :) -Al

Jeff, it was Field And Cave Outfitters that used to make those, along with other very well designed and made items. Unfortunately, they've ceased production of the shooting gear. Try a 'Wanted' add on Accurate Shooter. One of the members there bought their remaining stock of items...

This, X's 1,000 ^^^^^^^^ 👊 -Al

Here's Geoffrey Kolbe's twist calculator: http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/barrel_twist.htm Good shootin' :) -Al

Gary was a smart, smart man and a heck of a gunsmith. He was also a true gentleman and a total class act. The World is a better place for Gary having been here.

Wasn't a biggie to do using a 3/8" diameter, 82 degree carbide counter sink tool. Depth was .020...just enough to give a bit more angle on the neck approach. Good shootin' -Al

For what it's worth, I've tapered several Redding bushings. -Al

Wow....what a journey! All my best to you. -Al

Michael, the options can sure get a little overwhelming, can't they? Give each company a call and ask about options. You'll find Jim Borden especially helpful and willing to answer questions and give guidance. Good shootin' :) -Al

The fit of the bearing capsule into the front plate is critical to them operating smoothly. Best results come from fitting it on an individual basis. Butch's tensioners are a big improvement. There's more tweaking that can be done to them, too.

FWIW, I've found Permatex Super Lube to work well in the Farleys. -Al

Precision Reloading and Graf And Sons are both excellent sources, too. -Al
