Treso stainless steel range rods are hard to beat.
32-170B it was kind of stolen from the Saeco taper mold with a GC added meant for the 32-40 but works well in 32spl also. When crimped in groove it engraves rifling about .010 to .015.
It is meant...
Great stuff. I love the 32's probalby why I have so many.

Thanks. I doubt you are left handed but does it seem to be left hand friendly?

End mills are are my choice especially if I have to move a hole.

Post 15 makes good sense. I dont really do chambering but work in a job shop. Would not end mills and core drills be better than standard two flute twist drills. One thing for sure in machine work is...

Looking at them and wanted to know what you all think.
Ive got one of the AMT/IAI longslide 10 mm. The recoil spring is from a mack truck but it is a good shooter.

Twmetals and rancocas are worth a try.
For me the smaller the bore the harder they are to get to shoot well. Particularly below 35 cal. That's not to say I dont work with them enough as I shoot lots of 25 and 32s

What they said, but dont over look the 25wcf/25-20 either.

Yes, good times for sure. I took off work Thursday and Friday just to fish while we have ICE that was 10" thick but a heat wave is here now:( maybe we will get a refreeze after the ice settles. I did...

Ice is on this year, so ice fishing and small game hunting now that big game season is over and the wanna be buckmasters are done. We have our frozen butt rondy coming up in Feb also.
For a new one it looks pretty good to me. The price is also very reasonable.

I gave up on it. Messy, dries out on unloaded boolits, expensive, and all the things already mentioned.

Wow that VFD is small, mine is a FM 300 IIRC. Nice looking machine. Back on the screw if you aint done so yet take a drift or pin punch to the top of the head and give it a few good taps. It will...

I've worked on 135's for 30 years so far so im sure we have been on many of the same tail numbers. I started out in phase docks/crew chief then went to machine/weld shop about midway. Worked on many...

Well put! So go duck hunting and enjoy life while you are able. Just do it sober with a clear head.
PS. We all need reminders like this every now and then.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
That is exactly right. I try to tell people at work the same thing, some get it some dont. I work as a machinist on KC-135's and remove thousands of buggered screws for people. A 3/8 HSS lathe bit...

I've done two or three Ruger S/A's using wolf springs with very good results. A little polishing of surfaces and good to go.
