Being but a fly spec in the chambering world it may not mean much, but I use a Lambeth reamer stop and really like it. It great for being able to confidently take .002 for your last cut and know that it is repeatable for the next chamber after you add back .010 given that your tenon lengths are...

If you have a chance check out Roy Bertolatto (sp?) And his posts on muzzle brake design and testing. He seemed to be pretty thorough and reported his conclusions on his website .

Thank you,David!

Anyone happen to know if Bat B, Neuvo, and Bat 3L hole spacing is the same? Thanks, Mike

If I am reading correctly you are using the ppc gauge with 30br brass? If that is the case then I don't think it should fit as the case head of the br .473 is larger than the ppc brass at .438. If I misinterpreted please disregard. If you bought the correct case length gauge for the br case...

I wish I had a good answer for you, but I machined my own mount and used a Sinclair port level loading block with a flexible arm for the ammo, and my cell phone as a timer. You might contact seb and see if he has any contacts or has made one himself .

Thanks for the information. I will check them out for sure. It is a great little machine- super compact, solid, narrow headstock, heavy enough, and great bearings.

I know Sid doesn't come online very often, but if it helps my family and my parents are all praying for him, and hope that he beats this thing. Sid is a great guy as well as one of the best smiths in the business.

A very kind member of the hobby machinist forum uploaded a pdf of the manual for me which states that the bearings are tested by mounting a 3 or 4 jaw chuck, gripping one of the jaws and spinning it strongly - one rotation is perfect, less is too tight or bad bearings and more means too loose...

Is now in my shop and some questions have arisen. It was lightly used, but had been dumped on its back or hit from behind at some point...red flag, but the price was right, and there is a lot that is right with it. At the evaluation it ran smooth, went through all the gears and threads...

Hozzie, Sent you a PM regarding your 1440GS Mike

I noticed the same thing. Weird trick of the photo I guess. It looks like every other crest is thicker than the other.

Mram, if you haven't checked them out before there are some great videos on YouTube about threading, and general machining. Best I have found are tubalcain (Mr pete 222), the viper (Bob pastor), and Toms techniques. Not sure if you discussed it earlier , but the threads appear to have two...

I use a portable band saw from grizzly. Works great with the bimetal blade. My little 9" lathe just doesn't like the parting with a steady rest thing too much. I can do it, but the chance for the steady fingers leaving a groove in the finish of the barrel is higher.

To Jerry's point on flinching and a toggle or joy stick rest, the seb neo allows you to take your hand off the stick as you shoot. I have owned two sebs and they are a joy to use and as said before Seb is great with customer service. There is no lash to the movement of the stick and you can...

I use my vfd strictly as a phase converter. My bridgeport is a variable speed type and I leave the hz at 60 on the vfd. Automation direct unit 2hp for a 1.5hp motor. Wiring and programming were very straightforward and the cost was reasonable. I use a safety switch to power on/off the unit...

I have a 220 beggs reamer, Pete. Happy to get it to you for the cost of shipping and consider that good for me...unless you plan on chambering for the WBC team or you are making a run on the hall of fame and need to test 10 barrels for the new season. How are you on bushings? Mike Give me a...

Black Hills 223 69 gr Sierra boat tail. Make sure you have a 1:9 twist and you should be good for quite a few applications. Maybe not competitive against hand loaders in a match but for personal range time or hitting a gong up to 600yds that combo worked for me. After that it will be up to you...

Haven't started shooting officially yet, but plan on getting down to Chippewa for their club matches. Building a new 30br (should have gone for a ppc, but I think I might convert my current 30 to a lv, barrel a ppc and try some, gulp, group) this winter on the ol south bend so we shall see if...

Good luck in your search, Peter. Hope this new machine works out for you. Mike from CT now OH....
