    I tend to take the shot that they offer me. Those broadside shots you see on TV don’t happen to me very often. I don’t take Texas heart shots but try to break a shoulder if the angle allows it.

    Yeah, I probably just need to buy the dies and brass. I file off the belt on 338 win mag cases. Drive them into a sizing die I made. Cut to length and fire form. Another die I made just sizes the...

    GMB has a 38-40 blank in stock. 25” x 1.06. Might not need extractor work. Does anyone know the barrel thread dimensions on these rifles?

    I agree. My original plan for this barrel was a stub job on a 410 shotgun. Probably going to stay with that plan and look for a suitable blank for the rolling block.

    Well my blank is 1”. Borderline big enough. Extractor would probably need some work. Since my blank is only 20” long I would need to build a different forearm. Probably only way to match the...

    Swedish RB 8x58RD conversion to 45 colt?

    I have a Rolling block chambered in 8x58RD. Making Ammo for it is a bit of a pain. I also have a 45 cal green mtn blank setting around.

    Thinking about rebarreling this old roller to 45 colt.

    A long time ago before I had a lathe I built a 270 using a prethreaded short chambered barrel. While finish reaming I cut deeper than I wanted. Bolt would close on a no go with considerable pressure....

    I once stuck a case in a Savage 223. Unable to knock it out I pulled the scope and the barrel and got it out. When I put it all back together it required 2 klicks to rezero at 200 yds

    There is no half-nut dial. The half-nut will only engage when the lead screw is in one position. However by using normal methods threads were horrible to non existent. Hence I do not disengage.

    Since the barrel is RH twist and LH threads will this pose a problem. In theory firing would tend to unscrew the barrel. Does it actually happen? Should I use blue loctight?

    I do grind my own bits. I thread at the tail stock using a live center and steady rest. The babot bushings at my head stock are not solid enough to cut good threads.
