I've finally retired from gunsmithing, sold my shop equipment to a young man and I think he's going to be a good one. He has a manufacturing license and is making suppressors. He lives in my area and said I could come visit with him anytime, and could use the lathe and mill to do something of...

Well I got my PPS50/22 the first on had to be sent back, that's why it's taken me so long getting back with you. The front lug that holds the trigger group to the reciever was not properly copper brazed and come loose. Mitchells Mausers replaced it right away, good service. It is in fact the one...

All you reloaders out there that want an overall length guage that works give me a hand in testing one that my brother-in law and I designed. Now don't get all bent out of shape over getting a free one (can't afford to give all of you one) just some one that does a lot of reloading and like...

All you shooters, reloaders and bullet casters need to be careful when exposing yourself to lead and primer compound. I just started my 2nd round of Chelation treatments for lead exposure. We never thought about it years ago and now are paying for not being informed about it. If you've done a...

Just ordered on of these rifles, has anyone had any experience with one? It looks like it would be a lot of fun to play with. Get it some time next week or so. Can't wait to pulll it apart and see how it's made, really looks koool. It's featured in American Rifleman this issue take a look. Al

I just finished a re-do on my VZ24 Mauser 98 in 25-06 cal. I built it in 1974 and it had some bumps and scrapes from usage over the years, and the barrel needed to be replaced. I installed a Douglas PG., AG.,24" #4 contour barrel with target crown, I always recut the crown when installing a new...

Here is some pic's of how I do it, maybe help some noobies do their own. Most of you older guy's probably have your own method. I use masking tape wrapped around the buttstock first then put a layer of bedding tape over that. The bedding tape is tough and can take some sanding or grinding...

I was just playing around today, and thouhgt some of you might like to see what happens when the rifling goes away in a barrel. I millled a 25//06 chamber and barrel I just removed from my 98 Mauser, so you can see what I see with my bore-scope. The shell is a factory Win. 120gr. load, as you...

I have an old scope that has Stith Bear Cub San Antonio Tx. stamped on scope, the scope has windage and elevation knobs. The rings have intergal bases. The front ring slips over the objective bell and attaches with 3 screws. The rear ring and base attaches to the left side of the reciever with 2...

The process that I've settled on when reloading new rifle cases is as follows. #1 find shortest case, lightly trim it then trim all others to same length. #2 de-burr inside case neck just enough to remove burr and have a slight taper to help bullet start in case, remove outside neck burr only...

This is what I've been using for 14+ yrs. to cure bake on finishes. Had the box made at local sheet metal shop, 12"x12"x 48" shoebox style. Put a 4 coil 220 volt oven element with oven control, and a thermometer mounted in the lid. Wrapped the outside of the box with insulation, the hard board...

Thought some of you might like to know how to clean your tools and hands after a glassbedding job. I've been using FAST ORANGE with pumis and it will remove the stuff really fast. Just don't let the resin get to set. Al

This is the best seating depth guage I've ever used, it's simple to use and repeats time after time. Wish they were still being made. Firt you get the readind to the rifling, the lock the set screw to lold the setting in case you put too much pressure and the bullet sticks in the lands. Next you...

Just wanted to throw something out there to see how many of you have had Rem. extractor problems. I have only had one in many years of my gunsmithing career that I felt it was a real issue. The others were because the customer wanted a Sako style extractor installed. I've found brass shavings...

I'm finally going to build myself a custom rifle. I've been building them for customer's and never had time to build one for myself. I'll be using a Rem. 700 S. A. ADL barreled action in 308 Cal. a light (18 oz.) weight fiberglass stock (Bansner HiTech). It will be fully glass bedded with...
