I got the barrel mounted, cut the ejector rod clearance, started contouring the barrel. I have to machine and mount an ejector rod lock, and...

We used to use a Bomar Rib atop our pistols. The front sight will be the last thing I figure out. I have several ideas floating around in my head.

Quite a bit of the barrel will be gone when it’s finished.

Great video. I would suspect that the reason they do in house heat treating is because there is very little available in the way of 17-4 at the...

Just an observation, but it seems I see more tuners at Score Shooting Matches than Group.

That video is great, it showed the camming action that forces the balls into position to lock the bolt. I would suspect that this system requires...

All I can speak to is Federal 205 vs Federal 205 Match. I cannot tell the difference in any aspect of performance. That is in both my 30BR and 6PPC.

In the grand scheme of things, a 30BR really does not kick that much in a HV Rifle. But after a Grand Agg, where you might shoot 80+ rounds, you are...

Hey, when I turned 70, (that was my max out year), I gladly went down and said.......”show me the money”. Since I have payed up my SS in about 4...

I have cut multi lead threads, and even a diamond reversing thread on a level wind lead screw, but never anything quite like this. It looks like...

I’m not sure. I can get several more firings before they start acting up again. The primer pockets are the problem.at the pressures we shoot in that...

The shaft simply slips through the bearings. The bearings are water lubricated. They are a brass shell with a hard rubber inside that has grooves...

Tom, I get more firings from PPC cases by using that die setup I made with no shoulder. I got the idea from Charles Huckabe. I just take a standard...
