I've read enough about this Seecamp chamber ring delay system and I was wondering if anybody had a good picture of the chamber that showed the raised area?

Sorry to be late to the game, but I thought I'd add a few comments on my video (my YouTube handle is RyeOnHam for those wondering): 1) FAT HANDS! - yes, the web of my thumb is fat and does ride up on the gun... but this is not uncommon. I find the following guns troublesome: the M1911 with...

barnbwt, thanks for replying to all of the folks and keeping the discussion about the facts and not supposition. I have a series of YouTube videos documenting my journey with the R51 that Remington has now had roughly 730 days without so much as an update email. I call them every once in a...

THANKS! I've got some experience heat treating aluminum, but not steel. Is there a way to ensure that the striking faces on the ends are harder and the interior more ductile? I assume that I'll just be letting it cool after it turns blue? If I heat it more in the center, would that work for...

I have an FN Trombone rifle that I recently acquired. The firing pin is pretty beat up on it and looks like it might have been either fabricated as a replacement or poorly repaired. From reading the internet, it seems pretty common that these break, but replacements are $50 or more if you can...

There, I fixed it for you. If you haven't been keeping up with current events, Remington IS Marlin now. They bought the company, fired most of the employees, and took the tooling to their factory. They are the same company. Marlin quality control tanked when workers in the factory got word...

Not sure what you're talking about. I am not bashing, I am observing. Also, the terms "Remlin" and "Marlington" are not 'cute' they are descriptive of the ownership situation. We'll have to come up with a new moniker when they move to Alabama. Perhaps, Bamrlin or Alabamarlington. Whatever...

Fixed Well, after lots of thought, a few shims, a drill bit, and some time, I was able to reduce the wobble + side-to-side play about 95%. MUCH MUCH better now and I'm really loving the gun now. Wish it had come from the factory WITHOUT the LCI, WITHOUT the Mag Disconnect, and with properly...

Was at a gun shop yesterday shopping for a lever action and took a look at the Remington-Marlin boondoggle rifles. I heard reports of late Marlin and early Remington era guns being poor quality, especially the fit of the stock to the receiver and the sights. I can tell you that all three of...

Well, it's not the side-to-side play as much as it is the hole wobble. If you look closely at the pin, it wobbles around in the hole. I bought some commercial shims and I will be shimming it as well. The old pin will be cut down so I can use it as a slave pin for assembly. There will be a...

I have a #19 drill bit and plan on reworking it sometime this week. Walked around a gun show and picked up ever MK III 22/45 I could find. EVERY ONE OF THEM had the same issue.

I read through several of the problems, but this problem did not seem to be covered.

The left side pin hole measured .158" and the right side was .166" diameter. The pin diameter was .155" (5/32 is .156"). So, basically the holes are oversize (which I already knew). The side-to-side clearance on my MK II is about .006" and on the MK III it's about .050". I also tested the...

The sad thing is that they had to do those tests. Any sportsman with a box of 22 is in danger of his home burning down because some firefighter doesn't know that the risk is virtually nil. How many homes have burnt down because the firefighters didn't want to 'risk' getting near for fear they'd...

I just took my new 22/45 Lite (MK III) out of the box and noticed that the trigger is really wobbly. It almost looks like the factory pin is too small. Is this right?
