My FFL officer stated to me that every Barrel that leaves my shop has to be clearly marked or stamped and the marks have to be a min of .003 deep. Lee

dusty the surgeon SRS action was there base round action with no rail or lug. they don't make them anymore. Anyway the knob on that ation was long and sleek. looked great I thought. Ill try and find a pic. Lee

I was just going to go ahead and make or buy a fixture for my shop. This way I can offer this service if someone wants it. I'm not sure I'll change my bolt handle on my personal actions or not? I really like the knob Surgeon used on there srs action they used to make. I haven't seen anyone...

What's your fellas prepared method to replace a remington bolt knob. The mill or the lathe? I am going to make or purchase a jig and the required tooling here pretty quick. Thanks fellas. Lee

of topic a little but does anyone know if manson reamer bushings interchange with kiffs reamer bushings? Lee

dave couple questions. On your core drills. do they cut slightly under final chamber diameters? Also do you get them from dave manson? I know you like his tooling. I have a 338 Lapua to do here pretty quick. I haven't yet cut a chamber that large. The core drill idea appeals to me. thanks Lee

The closest barrel to being straight I have ever worked on was a Brux barrel. On the same token, the most crooked barrel ive ever seen was a Brux. I don't know how the straight Brux barrel shot, but the crooked one was a lazer!! Go figure!! Lee

dave has the right idea. I buy my boxes at wal mart. fishing tackle boxes is all I use. I like the clear boxes so I can write the pilot sizes above each square in black marker. works for me. Lee

Jay Your correct, however dad had a plan and we went with It. Everything worked out great, and I now have power to my machines again. Life is good. ill post some pics of the set up. Lee

Looks great tim!! I knew you could handle it!! Lee

Jay I bought a couple of those 3 phase load centers. We are going to try and wire them up tomorrow I think. I'll call you later. Lee

Dam fine group, that at least is for sure!!! Nothing much better than tooling up, and spending precious time working on a barrel chamber, and then have the reward of little bitty groups down range!! Im sure as handy as you and your father are, the barrel work was done in house?? Good on...

Jay As you know dad likes hot rods, so he will take over all of the old building. We will knock out all the walls and then dads shop will be bigger and more ergonomic. Come see me, I need to pick your brain a little anyway Lee

Thanks Bart. St Louis is a great place to shoot and my good buddy Joe Fessi really does go out of his way to make the match the very best it can possibly be. Most people have no idea how busy Joe is with his work and all the extra stuff he is involved in. It's truly amazing the things he manages...

Some of you may remember back early this spring I posted about building a new machine shop and starting a small shop for profit. Well it has taken about eight months, but its finally about done. The new shop has taken a lot of my money and time, and I really poured my heart into this project. I...

I found some hardened ground Thompson bars that have really tight tolerance. I guess the issue is that I really don't know what the inside diameter of the manson taper bushings. Looks like I'll just have to purchase everything from Dave manson. Lee

This is really good powder in my opinion. I've been told and I tend to agree that this powder is a vit powder and most likely n132. A couple doctors did some extensive lab work to come to this conclusion. This powder has graphite in it so it's a little dirty. Start at 29grains and work up. Some...

Richard where might I purchase something like that? thanks Lee

Would a 12" piece of .500 ground drill rod be ok to use to dial in an action with a set of bushings of course. I'm buying some more tooling and the rod that manson makes to dial in actions is rather pricy. I think I'll try his tapered bushings but I'd like to source the rod another way. Looking...

I love mine but I too need a new long collar. Lee
