    West Texas Rail Gun

    Rail guns and Texas weather For the suffering few. We have been enjoying this Texas weather--about all we can stand. Loaded up old Red (95 Ford PU) with all the good stuff and the Rail Gun of course. A few hours after sun up. Pretty calm?? Out to the range and setting things up. A bit of a...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Glenn, Wish I could say there were many one hole groups. The weather has been warm and then cold and ugly. This old soul doesn't do cold well at all. The wife took a fall a few weeks back and broke things real good. We are house bound now for a while taking care of her. Our oldest daughter has...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Glenn, You hit the nail on the head. Before the last round of world problems I was an active dealer/mfg and FFL holder, as many of you probably are or were. As a mfg the supplies began to dry up until there was nothing but backorders. My major distributors went bankrupt, sold out, and etc. I...

    Glenn, Thanks ever so much. This data is great. All I need now is some Varget and a few others to make things work. Where is all the handloading components going?? All I can get is backorder, out, No backorder and nothing etc. We gotta have powder and primers to make things work?? Thanks again...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Glenn, We could sure use some warm weather. Morning is cold and day fair, The upper half of Texas as you know goes warm and cold every day. I am enjoying a round of diabetic problems but sure want to get out for a few rounds with the rail and new handloads. What are the best loads you guys...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Glen, You were right, the bench I have to set the rail gun on is far from steady. Those of us who shoot here in our small community use portable benches of every description. WE don't have a public range and use various areas by consent or lease. This means a complete set-up is necessary each...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Mr. Lambert, I do believe you lean toward something in the .224 cal class?? I like the 22 PPC and have picked up a few items. They don't come too cheap so this old soul will have to go slow. The Clausing is a great machine and we are lucky to have such. Skip

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Mr. Lambert, Thanks for the information on the Rem Scope. I have had my scope on several rifles over the years. At one time I used it on my slug gun in .50 cal. that could get pretty interesting. Most slugs ran in the 450 gr.to 500 gr. cast. This is equipped with a underhammer action. The scope...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Thanks guys, this is good stuff. I was afraid this set up might be a little light. My shooting bench is light, but I can tie it down to the ground with an anchor (as used to tie down aircraft) screwed into the ground and a strap ran around the rail base and bench top. This took the shake out of...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    The total weight is about 36 lbs.This on the kitchen scale. The base is 2 ft. long x 10 inch wide x 1/2 " thick. I couldn't find a thicker or much larger base. Nearly every piece is 6061 Alum. The cam for adjusting the sighter to target is steel probably 1020. The elevation screw and nut is...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    My Thanks to Glenn for helping get this information and pictures. This 6 mm Rem B.R. started out a few years ago as a bench rifle and prairie dog gun. I replaced a 243 Win. Barrel action with a 1-8 twist I had just made with the 6 mm B.R. The beautiful Rail guns featured in Benchrest Central...

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Rail Guns It seems I can import photos but cannot export on this computer. Thanks Glen, I will try getting things your way. At 91 years and pushing 92 I fail to understand a lot of the new technology. I can still manage my machines OK but computers??

    West Texas Rail Gun

    Finally finished the 6 mm Rem. B.R. rail. My first rail project and thanks to all the guys who have written and contributed to the Form over time for all the great information and building information. When you are building from scratch all the information you can get is necessary. It shoots...

    Rail Guns

    Folks, thanks so much. This is the kind of stuff I needed to know and should have done it sooner. Yes so much is right here on Benchrest Central and just reading and listing to you guys answers so many questions. You have been there and done it. That's great thanks again. Stub

    Rail guns Thanks fellows for all the great information and who could be contacted on putting together these guns. What are the top calibers/size that are found in these guns?? I see most in the 6mm BR but wondered if something in .308 Win is practical? Best ever, Stub

    Rail Guns

    I am building a rail gun from scratch and using all the great pictures/information found here on BRC. I am located in the South Plains of Tx close to Lubbock. Swapped lies years ago with Frank Wilson of Lubbock and a few rounds at the range. No one here in our area has a rail gun and few have...
