Can anyone show me any resources on disassembling this bolt? I have a triggertech that is supposed to be drop-in but the safety won't engage. The portion of the firing pin that rests on the sear is fitted from the factory (you can see where they remove material from the face). I'm wondering if...

Sitting in a chair, two hands (supporting hand below butt of grip), supporting forearm/elbow resting on table, single action.

327 Fed. Mag from a Ruger SP101 4.2 inch Image of load data (sorry, I tried formatting it as a table in the text editor with no luck). Here is the primers for said load data: So obviously I've got some flattened primers (look at A1 and F7!!), but to me, they all look somewhat flattened...

Got around to cleaning the rifle and taking some photos today. Here you can see the gas mark corresponding to the case rupture at the 10 o clock position. After cleaning most of it wiped away, except for the point of failure at the base of the case. If this is etched into the chamber, should...

I think the rim is normal (just discolored). Primer also looks normal. Will see if there's any noticeable difference in weights with the scale later.

I'm not sure if that's possible, as its basically a mauser action. Bolt went down like normal, round came out like normal. No sticking or extra effort.

EDIT: Rifle is Kimber 84m Open Country in .308 Win

I have a friendly competition coming up later this month and I didn't have time to dial in a particular handload with my current supplies, so I just ended up buying a few boxes of Hornady Match ammo. I was sighting in at the range today, it was pretty uneventful at first. Two shots one hole...

I used to obsess over these types of things, but right now it seems that how well it fits me and how well it shoots matters more than anything else, and that changes from rifle to rifle. Now if you're building a labor of love its a bit different, and it depends on your project. I'm going to...

side focus is often used interchangeably as a descriptive term for parallax adjustment on a scope with a third turret (when normally parallax adjustment would be via the adjustable objective) it serves the same function but is adjusted differently. the eye piece focus is for focusing the...

most guns get test fired, but i don't doubt that lots of people rationalize that the rounds they put through their gun dont justify it being used since it was fired from the factory to begin with it...

I've seen videos of people using hand chisels and files and sand paper, and I know its not at all a process that should be rushed, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of or has any experience in using a rotary tool to fit an unfinished gunstock to a rifle? Ive got a Boyd's laminate...

I called Ruger, told them I needed a new trigger and sear because I botched a home gunsmithing attempt. They told me they didn't sell the part because it had to be fitted to the firearm by them. They told me where to send it and include a letter explaining the work that was required with my...

Para Ordnance 14-45 ltd. (money problems) Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .454 (served me no real purpose) Remington 700 VTR .308 (ammo was expensive, did not reload at the time) Marlin Model 60 (impulse buy, hated it with a passion) Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter (couldn't make it as accurate as...

I dated a girl who said she would never date a smoker. I'm sure if the girl really likes you she won't care, or at least she'll deal with it hah.

I would say have them keep one of every gun they sell under the glass as a demo model only (not for consignment/used firearms obviously). Whenever I say "do you have such and such" and they say "i can order it for you" i have absolutely no interest in doing so without handling one first. Keep...

aguila interceptors are 40gr and have a muzzle velocity of 1480 fps, if you do the math its one of the highest kinetic energy 22LR rounds out there (something like 190 ft-lbs). Its higher than the mini-mags but about the same as the stingers, so it comes down to do want a 32gr or 40gr...

they are simply 2 different rifles, with the X-bolt being their newest. http://www.thediyhunter.com/243-wssm-general-hunting-shooting/34-browning-xbolt-vs-abolt-comparison-photos-pictures that shows a few differences.. Bolts are different, all X-bolts use detatchable mags.. looks like a...

its dipped, i have a browning x-bolt with the same finish on the stock. Mine was a shot show special, its possible they do that specifically for the event you won it in.

definitely can be made smaller, but cost is a huge issue. engineering a product takes into account manufacturing techniques, their limitations, and no one is going to buy it if costs to much to make. I'd say the price will go up as manufacturing tolerances need to be tightened as the guns get...
