When threading imperial threads with a metric lathe you can't disengage the 1/2 nuts. My lathe is metric and 3 phase, so a flick of the lever on the Ifanger threading tool holder and flip the carriage switch to reverse, reverse to the start of the thread and flip the lever on the Ifanger holder...

+1 listen to Rod, a true Benchrest rifle even one built on a sleeved Remington is a good option, but one built on a custom action always has a better resale value. The advice of a solid front rest and rear bag is priceless as without these it is a lot harder to achieve the accuracy you are...

Good shooting Bart, just looking down the results and it looks like 60th place in HV100 was still a sub 0.300 agg, a 0.2956, and more than 30 shooters managed a sub 0.300 HV grand agg.......WOW......I shot the NSW State Champs last weekend and only 14 shooters managed a sub 0.300 agg in HV 100...

Would be a great database to tell criminals where they can get guns........Ian

John there is one answer to that........get the wife and family involved. My wife travelled to a lot of Benchrest matches with me not only in New Zealand but Australia and a few other places as well. Now I'm lucky she has taken up shooting as well:D:D.......Ian

Charles can you please explain what you mean by the above statement? You infer that the scope on a rail gun doesn't always point where the barrel points.......why not?.......Ian

Rob check your pm's ......Ian

Tom I have to agree with Bill........to me the 3 photo's you entered last year are so much better than the first 10 photo's you posted in this thread and I would rather have Dan's comments and to know why so I can improve.........and I am assuming that since you enter photo competitions you do...

Tom where was this photo taken? Ian

Benchrest is about unequivocal proof of the five/ten shot group.........which is why we have the moving backer system. How many groups on target look like one hole and only show 1, 2 or maybe 3 bullet marks. If we didn't have the moving backer would our groups mean any more than the reports of...

Phill I can't answer your other question but sure hope someone can answer the bit I highlighted in your post...........why are stocks, actions, barrels, bullets, Farley rests etc so hard to come by if the number of Benchrest shooters is declining??.......Ian

Are Farley's still making the coax front rest, I've emailed them several times over the last 3 months and have not received a reply. I'd like to buy a right hand one for my wife and I can only think of a couple of reasons Farley's wouldn't want to sell one and that is either they aren't making...

Charles your seating die might be easier to find than some 4198 to buy.........I hear there is a shortage of reloading supplies in the US:D:D.....I see a 8lbjug of H4198 sold for over $700 on Gunbroker.........Ian

Lee buy yourself a good "Strong" brand 3 jaw chuck.........mine has less than 0.001" runout. When I got it I put a piece of 1" tool steel in the jaws and mounted the chuck on the spindle in the six different positions.......one position had less runout than the others, I also tightened the jaws...

Johan send me a pm with your email address and I'll send you what I sent Greg..........Ian

Andy by the time the new VV importer gets the shipping sorted there might not be any VV to import since the factory is shutting down.......Ian

Al that's good to know but all the suppliers/importers here say that they aren't receiving everything they order, some retailers have started rationing primer sales.......I'm lucky I don't need to buy a lot to keep shooting, which leaves more for those that need them.........Ian

Andy I'm told there is one importation of powder into Aussie each year so I imagine that the suppliers import quite a bit each time which would explain why the stock is still plentiful at the moment. But what happens when they do there next stock order and it can't be filled because the US...

Lee I think you will find your two speed spindle motor is 4hp on high speed and 3 hp on low speed, this would be no trouble to run from a single vfd. If you ran the spindle motor on low speed you could use a 3hp vfd (as long as you don't switch the motor to high speed). If you wanted to run the...

aka Hunter, you're interpretation of the first sentence assumes that recoil is not just rearward momentum of the rifle after being fired. Now the definition of recoil is (according to this website http://www.thefreedictionary.com/recoil) re·coil (r-koil) intr.v. re·coiled, re·coil·ing...
