    bolt will not close on old or new brass in my 404 Jeff.

    I found it -- thanks to your advice. It was the extractor. I had a friend shooting with me that day and it is possible that he might have slammed the bolt closed, on a tight round-- the extractor looked a bit bent. My PTG GO gauge worked fine (and no close on the NOGO gauge) so I knew it wasn't...

    bolt will not close on old or new brass in my 404 Jeff.

    Guys, I have a very unique problem, I think, that is driving me absolutely crazy. I became disabled about five years ago and have been unable to go to the rifle range and shoot many of the rifles that I have built myself. One of my favorites is my .404 Jeffrey, which I build from a 300 RUM. It...

    A young man walks into a bar and sits down. He calls over the bartender and asks for a shot of whiskey. Before the bartender can leave he motions to him for another shot. He drinks the second one as quickly as the first. The bartender is a little curious and he stands and stares at him. The...

    wavy lines on a lathe

    I think the easiest way would be with something akin to a 1 TPI. I'll play around with my gears and see what I can come up

    single most important verdict this century

    You are correct. This is a bit off topic, but the worst legal precedents that have been set include: 1. Holding Cessna liable for a pothole in a runway, causing them to stop manufacturing new planes for 30 years 2. McDonald's caving to the old lady who spilled hot coffee on herself 3. The...

    wavy lines on a lathe

    I make this key chain / weapon for some of my friends. They are an enhancement from the original Kubotan made and marketed by my martial arts master Tak Kubota. His are made from plastic, mine from aluminum or brass. They are made from 4 pieces of brass rod. Three are single point threaded and...

    Barrel torque

    Most of the work I do is on handguns -- the guys at our local gun club are pistol oriented. I've lost track of the number of pistol I had to 'fix' after nationally known gunsmiths (one a manufacturer of pistol barrels that begins with Bar-xxx) had manhandled the firearms so badly that I had to...

    I worked with Bob Hope for many years -- I was the chief photographer for the Bob Hope Classic in the Palm Springs area. A more wonderful man I have never met.

    Barrel torque

    I built a 404 Jeff for myself a couple of years ago and put the barrel on at around 100 ft lbs. Being 72 and having a torn rotator cuff, I can only shoot a very lightweight 2025 fps load. The rifle handles it well. If I were to build one for someone using Superman loads up to 2600 ft lbs, I...
