    goodsteel replied to a thread Barrel straightening in "The Barrel Works"
    That's true old red. Now, set up a barrel in your steady rest spider only, so that it is rigid enough that you could machine it if it were attached to the chuck side spider. Now, run an indicator mounted in the chuck, and tell me how close you are...

    goodsteel replied to a thread Midway and shipping extortion! in Our Town
    LOL! My point is, if you pull into a big steak house with your wife and 3 kids, are you going to tell the waiter how ridiculous it is that you had to wait ten minutes for your 32oz ribeye? I've seen folks do this! Their argument was that it only...

    goodsteel replied to a thread Think you know your single shot guns? in Single Shot Guns
    That's a heck of a link! Thanks for posting. The one labeled "Simson, Suhl, 1921" looks like a dead ringer. The rest are pretty different. I wish I could get a hands on look at one of those trigger mechanisms, but the cutaway drawing there, is...

    goodsteel replied to a thread Midway and shipping extortion! in Our Town
    Backorders are for folks that need it, and need to be first in line for it, regardless of shipping costs. I use the backorder function on occasion for this reason. Seems some can't resist the temptation of looking at cool do-dads that are out of...

    goodsteel replied to a thread Think you know your single shot guns? in Single Shot Guns
    Nah, the trigger plate is no problem. It's the trigger mechanism that I am a little intrigued by, seeing as how the only double set trigger I have ever dealt with is the muzzle loader type. Might be a long term project for sure. I just hope that's...

    There is no fly in the ointment Gopher Slayer. Other than the lever, your rifle bears no resemblance to the one I posted pictures of above. It does not have the same lines, and the proofmark is not what you describe. What gives?

    goodsteel replied to a thread Barrel straightening in "The Barrel Works"
    Just my 2 cents worth, based on observations in my shop and on my range. Most factory barrels are not straight. This is a fact. Savage barrels however, (despite being quite liberal on groove and bore diameter, and chamber dimensions) are usually...

    Wow, you guys call paying honest shipping charges for items that you chose to back order, "extortion"? LMAO! Let me tell you what extortion is: When the US government decides you need to pay taxes to the state you bought the stuff from, on top...

    Remember how I told you to pry the barrel away from the stock till it cracks, then wiggle it out strait up? If you dont give it a little bit of somewhere to go, then the bedding has quite a lot of purchase on the action and it can be ten times...

    Wait a second, are we talking cold bluing, or real live hot bluing? For hot bluing, just rinse off the soap and into the bath it goes.

    That is some amazing work there sparky, and thank you for offering, but honestly, he's covered. It's going to be shellshock enough seeing as how he has never pulled the handle of a press before. I don't want to overwhelm the guy, ya know?

    No big deal rainy! I've got him covered on those things. Besides, it's going to take long enough to sort through this massive pile of goodies he's got here. We're just trying to find a weekend that we both have clear, that I can set all this stuff...

    goodsteel replied to a thread Degreasing before bluing Help in Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
    Nothing cleans like acetone, or carberator cleaner, followed by soap and water. When you rinse the soap off, watch how the water sheets off. That will tell you whether you are clean or not. Degrease, detergent, rinse, then blue. There is a whole...

    I'm going to give my 2cents, and I certainly don't know everything, but I have built a rifle or two. The best mold release agent I have ever found is Johnsons Paste Wax. I cut in some masking tape to the front side of the recoil lug to give it...
