In case anybody is curious how they look, Midway still shows a picture of these bore guides . I called Stoney Point. They must have sold out awhile back, because they are in Kansas, and these bore guides list a New Ulm Minnesota address. Of course they could not help me, that's...

Thanks Tim and Pete. It appears I've been had by Stoney point, as the package states 17 and 22 rimfires. I've seen on another site where an individual swaged the end of what appears to be an aluminum arrow shaft. He made a slipon collar to hold the shaft square in the action. The swaged...

I don't know if you have the Stoney Point bore guide, but the insert has a slot or port . Unless it fits into the chamber, the solvent will leak into the magazine. The guide is a two piece brass colored anodized set that works by twisting the two offset pieces and it wedges itself to...

Does anyone have one for .17 and.22 rimfires, and does it work ? I bought one and the insert is too big to fit in the chamber. Help ! Thanks Jim

Thanks but looking for a repeater. A lot of my shootin is off a bench and in a P dog town. A single shot works great there, but for yotes and fox I'd like a repeater. Thanks ! Still lookin ! Jim

Thanks I've been looking, propably need to expand my search. Things are crazy in the gun market right now ! Jim

No Replies ? Gunsmiths must be too busy. Thanks anyway ! Jim

Wanting to build a 17 Fireball. I have two 17 fireballs in 700 remington, and noticed that the rails and bolts are different from a 223 700 remington. Does Remington have the 17 fireball actions for sale, or do I need to look elsewhere ? Thanks ! Jim

I just bought my second Vanguard in 223. This was the low dollar variety. $350 at Sportsmans Warehouse. It was thier last one, and a counter gun, you know the one they jack the bolt and hand to you to look at ? Sure the bolt showed some wear, but boy does she shoot ! I put on a secondhand...

Jackie, do you have a recommendation for a quality bronze bore brush ? Thanks. Jim

Hi Gary I bought a Prosonic on ebay. Works great, I do about 50 223s at a time. It does'nt come with a basket, so I made one from a plastic 2 liter bottle. I know a picture would really help here ! I too found 6mmbr.com very helpful with thier article. Experiment with your solution until...

I'm sold on the ultrasonic cleaning. Insides are as clean as the outside. I use a home made solution and adjust the vinegar way down to reduce any negative effect on the brass. Normally I clean before sizing, and again after sizing to remove water soluble sizing lube (RCBS) the idea is to...

Love the 40gr V-max in my older 700 ADL. Jim

These trays are a great idea ! Sorting by ogive distance to base is another option. Jim

Just checked the barrel for straightness. I used an old arrow roller, I made for checking arrow shafts. Barrel is true. I checked it on a arrow shaft roller that I had made years ago. Mounts and rings are correct. Scope is fine. In fact I used the same roller to check scopes. The leupold...

Thanks FB My lives in Granger, and Madrid is on my way. What can you tell me about Mike ? Jim

Hi John Bases were installed with the dovetail front, and windage screws back. A bent barrel, as 4mesh points out could be. I could'nt find any scuff marks. I'll take the stock off and try a straight edge. Will Remington look at it beings I'm at least the second owner ? Thanks guys ! Jim

Thanks Perry !! That's what I was afraid of in the first place ! I'm now guessing the action needs truing. Or something. Jim

Here's the details so far. Purchased a used 700 SPS in 204 Ruger at a gunshow. Looked as new with Leupold rings and mounts, and a cheap Simmons scope. Got it home and mounted an old 8X Leupold. Took it to the range, and at 25yds, it hit 3ft in front of box with paper plate target. I've...

Thanks Lynn Thanks for starting this thread ! It's great ! I just checked the difference between my seating stems(RCBS, Redding) and they vary greatly from my ogive measurement of my Hornady guage. Now the question is where can I get a stem that seats the bullet by the ogive measurement ...
