Seems like it would be hard to control the heat or even know what the temp was in the bottom of the tank as apposed to the top. Then you have the problem of stirring in water to bring the temp down if needed. From my experience which isn’t all that much it sounds like a problem. I think it...

Can't say about the new ones but I believe you will find most of the older actions between 34 & 36 RC. Gary

By my math that is only (.0105") ten and a half thousandths of an inch which is of no concern if you are worried about the lug strength. Gary

I apologize I didn't read every post in its entirety but I didn't see this mentioned. I spin my barrel in the lathe and use an air automotive Dual Action Sander. You can get wet or dry sanding disc up to 2000 grit. I start with 320 unless the barrel is really rough. If I am glass beading then...

My Panda bolt is about .701". .500" would be pretty small with a .473 case head. Gary

Here is a picture of a blank as I said not much to see at this point, but I have seen some nice actions built from them. Wayne, I can only cut the bolt way lugs all the way through the blank which is not too good for a rim fire with the bolt lugs at mid action like the 40X, however I sold some...

Hi Fellows I will try to post a picture tonight but it really isn't a sight to behold, it is a stainless tube hardened and ready to go with a nice straight and smooth bolt way cut in it. The plan with these is just to provide a guy with a lathe, mill and a little desire a way to build his own...

Sorry for the delay in responding but I am still alive and making blanks and can be reached at glbreil@frontier.com, I just haven't been online much lately. You can also give me a call if you prefer at 618-383-3170. Thanks Gary Breiling

I uunderstand when predrilling and boring that the situation is different but Skeet did say he was cutting the whole chamber with the reamer. Gary

As far as the cutting oversize, if you cut too much with out cleaning the reamer it will cause it to cut over size especially if the reamer cuts more on one side than the other becuase the flutes on that side pack and push the reamer off center. I only cut .025" at a time then I clean the...

Not sure if this what you are looking for for knives but this place has it. http://www.admiralsteel.com/products/blades.html Scroll down toward the bottom. Gary

Yeh but progessively greater twist would mean greater pressure to change the lap or barrel the farther you get from the starting point. I think? I guess that is why we shouldn't worry about such stuff and just shoot. Gary

Agree, but in a constant twist barrel lapping would make the lands and grooves uniform from one end to the other, on a gain twist it seems that it would cause them to widen out at progressively as you go toward the other end becuase the lap fits perfectly in the end where it was poured and does...

I has seen some gain twist barrels that shoot very well, I was just trying to figure out how they lap them. It seems that your lap would be trying to make the twist uniform all the way down and if you did force it though it would only contact one side of the lands in each direction. I guess...

How do they lap a gain twist barrel? It seems to me that if they poured a lap to fit in the end of the barrel that it would not go down the barrel because of the twist change with out defroming the lap. Does anyone know how that works? Seems impossible. Gary

The Leupold is still manufactured in the good ole USA and that adds some value for me. I have not shot F class but have shot both 600 and 1000 yard benchrest and have never wanted less power yet. Gary

Actually Illinois does have its own system which is operated by the Illinois State Police and we do not call the same number as dealers in other states. Illinois had a system long before the federal instant check system and was approved to continue using its system when the instant check...

Your FFL guy should be able to give your the phone number for Illinois State Police customer service. No need to call the ATF they have nothing to do with it in the state of Illinois it is handled by the state police in Springfield not Chicago. Just call them and they will take care of it, it...

I took a 6.5/284 Redding competition die some time back and made some adapters for an electronic force gauge on the stem and tried that for a while. My force gauge will tell you the peak force hit during the stroke. One thing I found is that you can greatly vary the force required to seat the...
