Zeigel's stuff is the bomb! Everything that I've seen from Zeigel was fabulous! The workmanship, fit and finish are to be proud of. All of the cases that I’ve seen were built like you were going to ship $30K double rifle to hunting camp in Africa and wanted to be sure it got their unharmed...

Reaming not required. Take a good hard look at that tailstock. Generally the tailstock body is two parts. The bottom part rides on the ways and is machined to accept the top part. The top part is machined to accept the bottom part. There are screws for adjusting the off-set of the tail...

Take a good Look... ...at the scope. I had a very good customer bring me all of the components for his Remington 700, F T/R class rifle. I did all the machine work for a “Full Monte Rifle” including the inletting and glass bedding. When I took it to the range to test fire it I was getting ¾”...

Well here you go ... ...the problem is not with the products but the question. When you ask a subjective question you will get either a subjective or possibly vague answer. When you ask a question like: which ***** (insert product choice: primer; action; barrel; chambering; etc) is best...

That Guy ... ... has got to be the best "BR Smith" in his parts!! Merry Christmas, Nic.

I use mine ... ... all the time. It is an Acu-Rite with a .0002 resolution on both axes. I have an Acu-Rite 3 axis DRO on my mill with the same resolution as well. When truing receivers or creating barrel shanks it is an indispensible tool for all operations including threading. Once you...

Dennis did you ever hear anything back from Winchester?

"Incidentally, I do not care for lay down full profile inserts." Jackie, Please expand on your experience with these inserts; I greatly value your opinion and experience. If I'm all balled up here and about to walk on my wanker I don't want to put my cork boots on and proceed. I've tried...

Not ridiculous but a fact of life Physics dictate that if you plug both ends of a barrel and put said barrel in a tank of bluing salts at 290 degrees said air will expand and blow out the plugs and spray some of the hot salts out of the tank and onto the donkey that tried it. The bluing salts...

Bluing a stainless barrel? You can have a Stainless Barrel treated so it looks like the black oxide that is prevalent today. It has been my experience that the process will make the bore and chamber very rough and it affected accuracy in a negative way. I’m of the opinion that a perfectly...

Bummer dude! I like Remington actions, they will never be a like a custom action but they do work very well and are strong enough to handle the occasional knuckle head and his reloading debacle without cleansing the gene pool. Remington changed form a riveted style extractor a few years ago...

I switched over to Kennametal Full Profile Laydown Threading inserts awhile ago and I really like them. I turn the barrel shank to size or maybe .001 or .002 oversize, cut the thread with the compound set at 29 1/2 degrees using the flank feed method. After I have a full profile thread and...

Like that CO-AX press I have a Bonanza Co-AX Press that I purchased in 1978. It is a great press with tons of leverage and still tight as a tick. The only problem I've ever had with this press is that the handle yoke prevents you from using micrometer style seating dies with long cartridges...

If guns kill people... ...my pencil spells words wrong! Nic.

Say What? By definition plan “B” is executed after plan “A” has failed to perform as projected. If you cut the bolt for a Sako extractor, your plan “A” there is no plan “B” polish the extractor. Plan “A” needs to be replace and or polish the Remington extractor and the Sako extractor should...

Try fixing your extractor first. Take a minute and think this thing through. The Remington system is very good and very safe. A new extractor is dirt cheep compared to having the machine work done to install a Sako extractor. Read this thread before you take the leap, it shows some stuff...

Check your VFD and see if there are points for remote control inputs. If so wire your foot brake switch to the emergency stop control points. Having the lathe re-start when you release the foot brake is bad news. Again depending on the make and model of your VFD there are many programming...

13" Colchester Colchester. Colchester and Harrison were purchased by the 600 group, they have the Clausing brand. In the United States if you want a new Colchester or Harrison Lathe you get it from the Clausing Dealer. The Colchester and Harrison lathes are made in England. Clausing has a...

On my lathe I use the foot break for SAFETY. I wired the switch of the foot break to the emergency stop contact points of the VFD. Stomp the break the spindle stops NOW and will not restart until you clear the fault on the VFD. I did this because I work in a one man shop and the shop is about...

Call Clausing... ... and order one of these. I promise that you will never be sorry about the accuracy or quality of this machine. I own one and I love it! The one I own is 40" between centers. Nic.
