John, John, You may be right. When you are abused and neglected and afraid to speak of it publicly you could call it that. Scott, my post simply mentioned that the website wasn’t working correctly and not a lot of the 2024 schedule had been posted. I don’t think that was bad mouthing IR...

Your statement. "Although I never did it, I am sure my course of action got better results than posting my concerns on a forum." TKH

Scott, I appreciate what you have said and done, and you are so right about the MDs carrying such a load to help all shooters participate. I, as well as every shooter I know hope the IR 50/50 sanctioning body survives. If it doesn't RFBR in this country will be at the mercy of the English...

Bruce, If you go the IR 50/50 website and look at the schedule, then search month by month 2024 you can see some matches scheduled. Mostly matches in California and WV. If you search "all" nothing comes up. This website has been screwed up for years. You never know if it is the program or...

I just looked at the IR 50/50 website and found the Virginia State 3 gun match, and regional 3 gun match will be this weekend at Piney Hill. Yes, I know 4 days' notice isn't much time but if you can please plan to be there. Too much snow and ice for me this weekend but you guys have fun...

For those that may not have seen a Flavio Fare rimfire action here is a pic. The design was done a few years ago. Here is hoping Flavio decides to build a run of these. TKH

I appreciate the compliment, and the confidence, but that may be a challenge I'm not up to. There was a time when I wanted to try every serious RFBR action that came out. I've had multiple copies of most of them. When I studied the Vudoo I managed to hold back from buying one because of the...

Sorry for the lack of clarity. Most of the gunsmithing work I do is for my project rifles. But sometimes I do favors for friends. I call that outside work. An example was the rifle I took to Piney Hill for sale. It was the Black Turbo. The guy that did that beautiful stock, polished the action...

I’m building another Turbo V3 on a Rotex low profile stock now. I’ve done the action and I’ll be doing the barrel soon. Then I want to do a little work on that Sporter I bought. It needs a little more head space but I also want to check the chamber. Im also doing a few outside barrels that...

You are in luck. All IR 50/50 three gun matches start with the Sporter, then 10.5 lb and last is the 13.5 lb. Class. One target of each. Sometime there will be a double match and they are shot in the same order. TKH

PWNolan, I happen to have a P94S laying around. It was built by Bill Myers. It has a very good Walther barrel, makes weight, and the extremely hard to find Jewel trigger. It also has a Don Stith BR stock. It isn't doing anything for me if you are interested let me know. I think I still have the...

Hope you guys feel better soon. TKH

Pedro, Great hearing from you. Hope you had a merry Christmas. I have to admit you have excellent taste in gunsmiths. Wishing you be another successful shooting year in 2024. TKH

This is the time of the year to build your project rifle for next summer shooting season. I shoot Rimfire Bench Rest, so I build RFBR rifles every winter as a hobby. I realize there are many different disciplines in rimfire shooting and they all have their own requirements. Regardless of the...

True that!

All hangars I’ve seen have a certain amount of play. Some even come with slotted holes. There are some available with slotted holes and an adjustment screw. Even the smallest movement can have a fairly big effect. The reason many manufacturers pin the trigger is to keep owners from playing...

If the case isn't penetrated, then the spring isn't too strong and the firing pin travel isn't too long, even if the pin is too long. The fire control system in a rimfire is pretty simple but is made up of several parts that work together to fire the round. If you change any of those, it will...

If the firing pin is longer than the counter bore in the bolt face is deep it is too long. If the spring is strong enough to make the firing pin penetrate the case head it is too strong. Both situations are possible and can occur before the firing pin hits the mechanical stop. Some believe...

Does the current spring provide adequate ignition or are you looking for deeper hit?

Sjohn56127, It may help if you include a little more info about what you are looking for. Which 10X do you have, and does it have a chisel firing pin. Are you looking for a heavy,medium,or a light spring. How much firing pin fall do you have and what trigger are you using? Not trying to over...
