I had a friend with the tig setup that utilizes a foot controller. He said that once the puddle is made, he was able to lower the temperature. That combined with the steel heatsink from Brownells, he didn’t even need any heat paste. It made a very nice bead that I was able to clean up with...
Go check out the Transportation Secretary. He's on "maternity leave" while the bottlenecks at the ports break records every day. Now, there's supposedly a shortage of magnesium. That should bode well for the economy.
Mint NOS Miroku Auto-5 Magnum. I assembled it thinking it was missing a friction ring. The previous owner had put it in the forend for some reason. I thought I'll just shoot 2-3/4s then. . The very first shot split the front stock. That feeling sucks. I had to immediately send it off to Art's...
They were even using oiled proof loads as well. That crack had been there for a while by the looks of it which means it had already been through several proofings before. I think their goal was to demonstrate just how strong the No. 4 was. I believe they proved it is plenty strong. Good video to...
Rust bluing is a very rewarding process. I'm with ChrisG on the final sanding recommendations of 320 grit so the rusting solution gets a better "bite". After I'm satisfied with the number of cycles, I finish with a German made lamp black pigment mixed with linseed oil and baked on twice. It...
These turds that steal from people should be listed publicly like sex offenders. Maybe shame would help persuade them to get a job. Back in the day their punishment would be a public event at noon or something. They get off too easily most of the time.
Yeah, FACTCHECK was discussed as well. They aren't so factual.
They are funded by questionable people with ties to Ayers and Obama. They have taken a far left turn since Annenberg died.
Like I said, watch it or not. People can decide for themselves or just skim over it and immediately go to...
No, I don't think that at all. I'm simply letting you know there are other people on there. The patents for this "virus" and "vaccine" have been on file for years. How is that supposed to be? Simple to investigate and confirm for yourself. Watch it or not. I will choose to have my own opinion on...
As I previously stated, I have watched the entire thing. I don't care what they look like. Everything the underwriter says is able to be investigated by the public at the patent office. I'm not done looking up all of the patent numbers yet. So far, I can't find anything he says as being false...

I don’t know what is really going on but I watched this in its entirety and I saw no tin foil hats.
They are some of the best built rifles. The craftsmanship put into them is something to see and feel. The metal is extremely hard. Combined with the Swiss cleaning technique, the chambers and bores are usually almost new.
Reloading them with standard .308 projectiles takes a slight learning...
I have draw filed round barrels as well as octagonal. I read about how to do it in an older general gunsmithing book. I first practiced on a piece of round stock I had laying around. You can then chuck it in a lathe to finish it by hand with some of the sanding cloth that comes in a roll that is...
I switched to plain, room temperature distilled water to clean my sidelock. My tap water has too much chlorine in it and was the cause of my flash rusting and subsequent rusting the next day. I confirmed the chlorine content not only by the obvious smell but also with a chlorine meter. I've used...
Look up Rob Haught's "push-pull" technique for shotguns. I decided to try it out of curiosity on a 4 something big bore rifle that another person had brought to the range while we were there. Apparently, he had inherited it and some ammunition. After one round he was done. I asked if I could...
Shootist43 is who you’re looking for with the 6.5x55 information. I looked through many older threads to find the loading for my Schultz and Larsen 6.5 “target rifle” with a very long throat.
Instead of multiple edits I’m adding another post. The DD sight isn’t so much “easy to visually acquire” as it is to just look through. You know, because words mean things.
I know what you mean Forrest. I ran into the same replies when I wanted to build a 20” flat-top with irons. I found a great deal on the Daniel Defense 1.5 fixed rear sight. It is built extremely robust and easy to visually acquire. I also had my front sight pinned as well. I like aperture sights.
I have done it multiple times. Pictures were on a phone that died.
As Bruce has stated, no oil can be present. I usually boil mine in some of that powdered soap that has sulfates in it and degrease with different degreasers. It’s overkill but I’ve never had any issues.
You need to card and...
I agree with Nyati. My experience after a shooting session with just earplugs, I would feel off balance and almost punch drunk for hours. I read about the bones transmitting the vibrations to the inner ear. Some people seem to be more susceptible to it than others. After switching to noise...
I went with Sons of Liberty Gunworks. Mike is a great guy and their warranty covers fire, wear on all parts or even if you run over with your truck. Go check them out on Primary and Secondary podcasts and YouTube. They will answer all of your questions and you will have a ton of options as well.
Wow. Beautiful rifle and welcome to the forum. I had picked up a very nice .270 FN M98 from a friend that had it for at least 30 years. He shot exactly one round through it. His wife had bought it for him very early in their marriage. She is from Belgium and had purchased it off of a man who was...
I usually vote restoration. I’m also almost always in the minority. The main and most frequent objection I hear is, “it’ll hurt the value.” That’s fine with me because I have never purchased any of my firearms with the intention of reselling. It’s all in the eye of the beholder I guess. I’d much...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I purchased this rifle from Mr. Toby and couldn’t be happier. As all of you know, he is a pleasure to deal with and nice to speak to. I intend on doing some minor customizing to the rifle and compare it to my CZ550 FS in 9.3x62. The CZ shoots “lights out”...
Thanks for all of the replies. I agree with “need” being pretty subjective. I didn’t need another Mauser style or caliber but sometimes deals come that you don’t see very often so I felt that I “needed” to act.
Nice score! I just shot my 550 FS a few days ago. I wanted to shoot it pretty bad as I’ve had it for several months. No 9.3x62 in my neck of the woods so I ordered a couple of boxes of the Prvi 286 grain. I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy considering the rifle was brand new in the box...
I saw a very nice takedown MS on an Australian shooting video. They had gone to an auction recently. I couldn’t believe it didn’t sell at the starting price. It had been redone by one of the British gunmakers and even had the case. It was also in 6.5. Sorry for the hi-jack but I’m kind of...
New member here. I signed up mainly because I really like Mauser style sporter rifles and practical shooting. My internet searches would lead me here and I’ve enjoyed reading the intelligent and polite conversations.
I just picked up an NOS CZ550 Full stock with the 3 position safety in...
