Thank you Gentlemen, I knew you guys would know what this material was. And thank you RWO for the link.

I know one of you smart fellows know exactly what this material is. It is used on a chemical etching system.. The positive lead is connected to the material with a stainless bolt. The chemical and wick on the other side. Basically it's used as the electrical conductor. It looks like some...

Leeroy, I can not agree with your method at all either. It seems your primary focus is to keep the pilot bushing in a crooked bore. I think your are missing a very important point. How do you know what the run out in throat is going to be? If all barrels were perfectly...

Skeet, Just drill and single point bore, The reamer is going to follow the bored chamber. Don't worry about the pilot being in the bore. Boe

I'm going to have a reamer ground for the shop in 280 Remington. I never had anyone want one chambered in that round so I have had no need for one until now. I would like to have one ground with a no turn neck dia with minimal clearance. Maybe 4-5 thou. larger than the largest factory...

I have been using a tripod that I bought from Bobby Hart about 10 years now. Very stable, very quick setup. You can even leave the gun in it while glassing. I have made a lot of long shots on Groundhogs off of this tripod. Top Drawer equipment. It is the best and most stable one I...

skeet, Etch-o-matic will make stencils for clients so will Marking Methods. Just keep in mind as barrel tapers changes so does the logo and font size. A least for me, I like to keep everything in portion. I made about 8 or 9 different logo sizes and adjust the font to barrel taper as...

Etching Marks

Skeetlee, If you are going to use a etching system get one of the Marking Methods units. I have used one in my shop for about 20 years now. Top drawer systems. The Etch-o- Matic stencil making kit works great, I would not recommend the marking system. I use one of the...

Second the 6mm Remington or better yet 6mm Ackley.

I have cut off about 15 of the BAR barrels in my shop. Don't worry they will cycle fine. Boe

Devcon finally called me back. Shelf life is 5 years if anyone needs to know.

Anyone know what the shelf life of Devcon 10120 steel putty is? I have been ordering 4 lbs containers. But I was thinking about ordering 25lbs if the shelf life is long enough to use it all. Thanks Boe

One other thing I noticed, The barrel had burst in a twisting action at the muzzle were as the rest of the barrel split straight almost to the chamber. I wonder what the chances were that the 4th round never cleared the bore. He indicated that towards the end some of the bullets would...

I had a client stop by the shop with this rifle A Sako Finnlight 7mm Mag. The rifle has only had about 40 rounds fired since he purchased the rifle new. He said the shot fairly well in the beginning then began to shoot worse and worse, 10-12 in groups before the barrel failed. At first...

Hal I thread at 60 sfm with the Warner inserts with a excellent surface finish, Try a heavy sulfur based oil like Ridgid, Super Cut, or Viper's Venom, Bob Pastor sells it, great guy to do business with. I take off .003 per pass on the compound. Boe

Skeet, Try 60sfm, At about Three thousandths per pass works for me. I like the oil that Bob Pastor sells. Boe

Skeet, Look on Marking Methods website, The last time I was there I think they had a video that will show you the process. You can have them make you a stencil or you can make your own in house. Marking Methods have rolls of stencil material. I perfer the stencil material from Etch o...

Skeet, Have you looked at the chemical etch systems? Quick and easy, I used to use a engraving setup. I can etch a barrel with the caliber and my logo and have it back on the action before I could set up the Hermes. In my opinion the etch looks far better. The clients seem to like...

I run at 60sfm to get the best surface finish. When I ran at 120sfm I had to keep removing BUE on the insert. When I slowed down the problem went away. Boe
