    Barrel Cleaning Troubles

    You are probably leaving bronze residue and picking it up with the patch. Bronze residue will look black. i would be careful leaving a chemical bore cleaner in there for an extended period. Copper solvents are designed to dissolve metal, softer metals dissolve faster but given enough time it...

    Beretta 686 but pad

    I just acquired a used 686 special with a crumbling butt pad. I went to do a swap with a beretta white wing I had laying around and the pads didn't match up. The stock is normal lop and doesn't seem to be altered. Is there a special pad I need to order?

    ? about my type 53

    It's safe to shoot, worst that can happen is the stock splits under recoil. I would find a new stock. There is probably so much cosmoline in that wood that any glue or glass will not be effective. Check out century for cheapies

    AR10 build.

    I wouldn't get too hung up on name brands as receivers are pretty much just a housing. But a matched set so they fit tight. I use a Remington r25 upper and lower and they are as good as anything. I have a Lilja 24" .95 barrel and it shoots just under Moa with factory ammo

    What's the cheapest way into a lighter AR barrel?

    Turning down a barrel already stress relieved would make me nervous. You can buy a new barrel for about the same cost as gun smithing.

    AR/.223 trajectory mystery

    We don't know what height rings you are using but I am relatively certain you are shooting over your target. Sight in 4" low at 25 yards and aim for bottom of target.

    What's the cheapest way into a lighter AR barrel?

    add a torque wrench and some pin punches. Changing a barrel is simple on an ar, YouTube has all the videos. Ditch the flash hider to shave a few ounces and inches. Put on a low profile gas block and a carbon fiber free float tube. You can sell your old barrel to recoup some of your outlay.

    New Rifle?

    Tikkas are nice but they don't make a true short action. In .308 you have a long action with a bolt stop.

    Confused on Last steps to barrel cleaning

    I buy hundreds of used guns per year and most normal folks don't clean very well and seldom oil their bores. I have taken in 50 year old guns that have never been cleaned and I have them looking like new in 15 minutes. Too much oil in the bore acts like an obstruction. Wiping visible oil off...

    Patches don't squeak, cleaning rods in contact with bore when bowed out under force squeak.

    Conventional scope on Ruger Scout ?

    I am not really sure what you gain from a scout scope but I do know what you give up. If you want a serious north american hunting gun go with a conventional scope.

    Is this barrel copper fouled?

    The pictures of the muzzle are clearly copper fouling in the rifling. You may have both copper fouling and rust. A barrel with rough tooling marks in the leade will copper foul easily. If it were my gun I would get it bore scoped.

    Rifle Stock Question

    It looks like fleck stone spray paint. My guess is the last owner wanted to cover up a well done old stock.
