Anyone know of a source that stocks Krieger Barrels? I read about someone on this forum or maybe another forum that stocks barrels. Thanks for the help, Boe

If just half of the gun owners in America would join the NRA those gun grabbing boys wouldn't even want to talk about gun control for fear of being voted out. Look how much influence about 4 million members have. Just think what would happen if we were 45-50 million strong. The only thing that...

Just use G-10 for the pillars. You can order it from MSC. Boe

Jerry, The barrel was a new 416 Stainless steel blank. The overhang was about 2 inches. The insert is a HSS insert and the holder is made in the USA. I was infeeding 0.003/ side for about 4 or 5 passes then noticed the BUE. So I stoned it off. I noticed it was building up on every pass.

I was threading a barrel today with a new tool holder and new HSS insert. After every pass I had Built Up Edge on the insert. Checked setup. Everything looks good. I tried speeds between 140-320 rpm. Infeed was between 2-12 thou. per pass. I tried my normal cutting fluids Ridgid and Supercut...

I was informed by an ATF Officer that came in my shop several years ago that I was required to mark every barrel that I install. She also explained the marks had to be at least .003 in depth. With name of business and cartridge. If someone names you or your business in a lawsuit all the...

I would agree that when I true one of the new 700's I have to take very little off the threads, abuttment lugs, and receiver face, compared to some of the old ones I have seen. But the older barrels I have borescoped have throats that appear more concentric than some of the new barrels I have...

Charles E. Thank you for bringing up the point that Custom Rifle Builders aren't paid enough. Those of us that do make a living in this business know how difficult it can be at times. None of us are getting rich on the resale of components, Yet we take the responsibility of...

When the customer brings me all the components, I try to look it as a positive. Any problems with the parts are his problem not mine. No wasted time to send them back. Another point would be the customer isn't calling you every two days to ask " IS MY BARREL THERE YET?" or " IS MY ACTION...

Max, I have used quite a few ballistic programs and Coldbore 1.0 is the best and most accurate that I have used. It is more involved than most programs, But the returns are worth the effort. Boe

After reading the thread on barrel torque. A few more questions come to mind, What are the opinions on loose fitting threads vs tight fitting threads? (barrel to action) What is the effect on accuracy, if any? How much is dependant on the shoulder juction and how much is dependant on the thread...

VaniB, Just call Dave Kiff at PTG they sell Remington replacement bolts in stainless. Then send it to Dan Armstrong to time and tig the handle. Dave will grind you one any dia. you want. We use both of these guys all the time, Both do top drawer work at a reasonable price...

Dean, PM sent. Boe

I'm looking for some 3/8-24 swivel pad set screws for my spider chuck. I have 3/8-24 brass tipped screws now that have been working fine up till now. I had a customer bring a barrel in, When I chucked it up to get enough to thread and chamber my screws are on the taper of the barrel. I...

Flatlander, The DM has the feed lips on the mag rather than the receiver. As for the second question, I don't think Remington makes a DM WSM. You have to keep in mind that if you use anything other than the WSM action you will have to mill the...

Skeet, The action can not be Anodized without taking the barrel thread insert, and bolt cam insert out. Duracoat might be your best bet. Boe

I'm going to order another 264 win mag reamer for the shop, I'm looking to have this one setup for the Berger 140 gr hunting VLD. Has anyone experimented with the leade and throat for what shoots best for that bullet. I'm thinking about just have a reamer ground with 0 freebore and then using a...

I would agree with Mr. Sorensen that the Remington 700 would be my first choice for an accuracy platform. Unless money is no problem then I would opt for a custom action. ( no action truing) I think it is unfair to say that a Remington 700 requires a great deal of work to achieve their...

Today one of my customers brought me a brand new 7mm mag Remington 700 with an extractor problem. The rifle would not extract a chambered round.When I looked at the boltface the lip on the extractor was setting to deep in the groove, thus it won't grab the rim of the case. I figured it must...
