Something very fishy going on. I found it weird that drones/missles were launched from Iran as well as proxies in Yemen, but none were launched from the better armed proxies in Lebanon or Syria right...

That's easy. (3). I don't have to feel bad destroying value tuning up performance to perfection!
I have no use for "pristine", and I don't think "correct" really means anything, unless its one of...

The green stuff, 609, is the medium strength "retaining" compound. It can fill small voids, as opposed to thread locker. It works good for worn dovetails for those who do not have the courage to...

Ha! Questions which provably have answers but are provably impossible to answer?
I would say no. Meticulously following every lead no matter how ridiculous it seems is a normal part the job - like...

It's the best form of mental therapy for me. In my day-job profession success with most problems comes at the end of a long river of constant failure. When I am truly stuck, and all progress seems...

After scraping, I decided to soak the front half of the stock in acetone to pull out as much oil as I could from the end grain before proceeding.
I made my replacement block and glassed it on, let...

There are plenty of blackbears in the sods. Never seen one though, but come across plenty of scat and prints. I always open carry on trails, especially when going out alone, more to protect against...

The short headline is...I didn't make it to the top.
It was pretty rough going on the way in. What trail there is consists of constant steep ups and downs. Follow red creek a bit, then up to a...

A window of time opened up last minute today, but I've had my ruck packed and ready all winter long waiting for it. After hiking in and crossing lower Red Creek, I'm going to continue on up to spend...

It doesn't have to be guesswork. A caliper goes hand in hand with adjusting sights lacking graduations, or with graduations based on outdated ballistics, regardless of whether a punch is needed to...

I guess I'm authentic too then ;)
I have a No. 4 with that front sight. A thick rubber sheet as vice-jaws squeeze up to support the sight base. There was a dimple on top of mine, being staked...

Me too. I used to curse the bubba under my breath that mounted before me, until I had a good friend bring over his brand new Remington 783, still in its box, with a scope and rings he wanted me to...

Square threads on the 1903, 10 per inch I think, with grooves at 0.051 wide. Yes. google doesn't lie;)


even more careful on an old barrel that appears to be short. Even just a little leftover...

disappeared, well done. was the stock in 2 peices? or just a crack?

If you do end up needing it, you can rent reamers affordably from https://4drentals.com. I have used them several times before.
A pull through reamer would work, but is really designed for actions...

Stock work this weekend.

Got the shard that I had glassed back on. When cleaning up the area today, I went ahead and removed the filth and finish with a cabinet scraper so I could see...

Before you do anything permanent, clean, clean, and clean the chamber again. Scrub and scrub some more. Stuff some patches soaked in kerosene into the chamber and let it soak, and scrub again. If...

I need to get an m1a now. The m14 is the only us service rifle I don't have an example of yet.

Simple mineral spirits should not harm the stock. Whatever you choose to scrub with, though, might. I would opt for soaking an area by saturating a rag with mineral spirits and setting it on the...

I was able to fit the safety connector. I made a trigger lock (T-bar) from scratch and fit it up by first 3d-printing several attempts just to figure out how everything is supposed to function, and...

not really. The hardest part might just be proper disassembly and reassembly without buggering anything!

I use mark lee's express no. 1, since it rusts...

What kind of barrel vice blocks or bushings are you using? I would recommend steel (not wood nor aluminum nor brass). I have a vise from brownells, and have removed even mosin 91/30 barrels with it....

I shall correct myself, and I should have looked it up before I typed, but I guess my foot tasted pretty good at the moment :). I will delete/modify my previous post to not be incorrect (sorry too,...

I also start my torque wrench at [TM 05538/10012-IN], back the nut off, increase to [TM 05538/10012-IN], back off... and so on until I achieve alignment with less than 80 ft.lbs. The principle is to...

That's going to clean up real nice baker.
Someone's been in it before, as evidenced by some of the buggered screw heads. Perfect timing too as I'm going through my first SxS. Misery loves company....
