I have been using it on bolt lugs, cams, and trigger sears for 20+ years with zero issues. No galled lugs and triggers are always lighter and more consistent with the NECO lube. I use it outside firearms as well when I need a high pressure lube. Only downside is the color is tough to get out...

Looks like it has a nice radius on the edge of the FP hole. I bet that helps too.

There are EMCO user groups on Yahoo. You may find some valuable information there. You have to ask to join. I've had several EMCO machines and like them. Currently have a tiny little EMCO PC lathe with the mill head (figure I could use it after I retire and am traveling) and a Super 11 lathe...

I might be interested in it. I have an early A but the target stock I have for it is from a D I think and doesn't have the magazine cutouts. You can PM me if you want.

The Gorton's are nice heavy mills, at least the one I used was. It took a funky proprietary collet, but that was the only down side I could see. Along the same vein, I'm hoping to upgrade my 1940 Index mill to a Bridgeport series II CNC machine. 800lbs vs 6000lbs should make a vast...

My guess is a late 52 A or maybe a B. I think the C,D,and E were single shots and wouldn't have the magazine cutout. The group in the Winchester section at Rimfire Central would be a good place to find the differences if you don't get a firm answer here.

Import machines are allowed to be discussed in the Gunsmithing section at PM. There are of course the group of people that can't get over it.

Understood. Was hoping to knock this out today but I don't have any thin wall stainless on hand, unless I bore out a chunk of solid. Thought was to weld tube to the plate and insert a lead slug. Trim to length for balance and pack it so it won't move. A single 1" dia x 3" long slug would...

Jim, Thanks for the numbers. Using a pencil as a fulcrum, the current balance point is 5" in front of the recoil lug, which is almost exactly halfway to the end of the forearm. Using tape and two lead ingots weighing a total of 1lb 14oz hanging at the rear of the stock, the balance point moved...

I'm familiar with mirage from wind reading for LR/Palma/XTC. It was 33 degrees, cloudy, and last hour of light so I don't think there was much mirage. Definitely the rifle bouncing around up/down and some left/right. No doubt my current rest system is lacking and the rifle balance isn't helping.

Trigger is a jewel and is at a few ounces but I haven’t weighed it. I was on the one concrete bench we have. It got better the more I shot but I was seeing 1/2 - 1+ dot worth of wiggle in the beginning of the session. No dry firing yet but that is a good idea.

Boyd, I was holding the rifle. Not a death grip but it was in my shoulder, cheek on stock, and left hand squeezing the rear bag. The front rest is a Sinclair base with a simple top and Protektor #1 bag. The bag is for a sporter type stock and too narrow for the 2 1/4" flat forend to fit in...

I put twenty-five rounds through it this weekend to break in and get an idea of what it would do with different bullets. Shoot, clean, adjust scope for the first five and then a few three shot groups with 50, 55, 69, and 75gr bullets with mid-range powder charges. I was pretty pleased with...

I've got a Panda in what I believe is a McMillan Hunter stock. Just put a new 26" .22 BR HV barrel on it and it is VERY front heavy. There is currently no weight in the butt. I plan on removing some of the foam and adding a weight system, shape and amount TBD but I want to keep it close to the...

Update. I've finished chambering the barrel in question. I think it turned out very nicely. The bronze wedding ring worked, but the screws still flattened the radius I put on it which would affect the barrel's ability to pivot, so I think I'll try steel the next time. The reamer cut on size...

Well I pulled the old barrel off and found a couple interesting things. It is right at 1.061 / .062 for the major dia, but it was a very smooth fit. The recess at the end of the action is 1.062 and you can see the OD dia of the thread cut into it so it would seem that this action would accept...

Thank you gentlemen, that works for me. I was a bit surprised at the recommendation for the tenon to be the full 1.0625, I usually go 5-6 thou less than "nominal". Could the action thread be a bit oversize on purpose so it will accept that "larger" major dia? I haven't pulled the current...

Getting ready to chamber a new Krieger in 22BR for my new to me Panda. The instructions on Kelby's site state the following "When chambering for a Panda, Kodiak or Grizzly barrel cut the tenon 1.0625” in diameter by 1.115” for a cone bolt action or 0.980” for a flat bolt action. For an Atlas...

Excellent. Thank you for your time. I'm sure I'll be back for more as the journey progresses.

Mike, Thanks for the clarification. The rifle was built by Milwaukee area gunsmith Jim Stummeier. I picked it up at our club swap meet recently. Jim is retired, sold off his shop, and is selling off his stash because he can't get around very well any more after a fall during deer season a...
