Would like to see someone make a better powder trickler. Maybe smooth bore at the end, maybe no threads, just a slight downward tilt. All the ones I have will clump at times right at the end, dropping 3-4 kernals at one time. Think there would be a good market for this

No Doub't about it Tim, you have to much free time on your hands !! But I agree

Dave, It didn't do anything

Yes, and only once

I recently added a new scope to my gun. Its 40X the same as the others I have on BR rifles. I noticed today, that when the focus is very sharp, I still had some parallax. Adjusting it slightly off peak sharpness , parallax was better. What causes this? 2nd question, You have just arrived...

I thank you as well Henry, your contributions here are always great

Its not my purpose to get anyones pants in a wad, But If you don't have access to a borescope, you don't really know. Before having one, I scrubbed barrels with brushes and all types of cleaners. They all looked like the fenders on a new cadilac, when held up to the light. Scrubbing till the...

What I am removing is the black stuff in the first 6-8 inches of the barrel forward of the chamber. I really don't know what it is. I can say that the toughest stuff to remove is primer fowling that comes from firing a case with no powder. On first glance, one would think that primer residue...

The dent only occurs when no case is in the chamber. Having a case in the chamber stops the bolt before it contacts the rear bridge of the receiver. With no case, the bolt stops at the transition of the flat and extraction cam. Admiring your new action and cycling the bolt while watching...

I have the original, sold in metal containers by GM. Part # 1050002. It does removes the surface powder fowling qiuckly, but won't touch the hard black stuff, or the copper. You will get some light green coloring on patches and if you had a year in between relays, it might desolve all copper...

Tim, any machinist can make a sleeve with 1/2-20 on the outside and whatever you like on the inside. I have used one for years now.

Top Engine Cleaner ( original) from GM does not remove the glass hard carbon. Yes, I have a bore scope. Actually I know of no liquid that will.

Either insert will work, but they are not interchangeable. The number you develope with one will be different from numbers developed by the other. Always use the same one and write it down. Before measuring a fired case, push the fired primer back down to the bottom of the pocket. It will give...

Contrary to popular opinion, not all barrels shoot at jam

Send the action to Greg Tannel. Winchesters are just enough different, that truing the action can be challenging. He will do a superb job. Add a good barrel,and trigger. Your cash outlay will be no more than what you would have in a redone Rem.

Davidson makes bases , undrilled and correct for Kelbly rings. They can be had from sinclair Int.

If there was never a misfire with the 6.5x284 and the problem only happens with the 6x47 and it can be cured by jaming bullets hard in the lands, it would seem clear that the culprit is the operator on the handle of the loading press.

For the small diameter firing pins, .062 or .067, I use a socket hd cap screw by UN-BRAKO. That material is tougher than the bolt. Turn the head dia. to match a .055 deep counterbore in bolt face. An interference fit of .0002-.0003 is good and you won't see much of any line when its done...

If a bump guage is made correctly with the same reamer that was used on the barrel and made with the same care, it will tell you many things. It will initially tell where the bullet meets the lands. If you have been successful with your neck turning, meaning you actually have clearance. It can...

Charles, you're assuming that a lathe and piloted reamer are used. That requires some setup with a lathe, and that is time. Lets assume that it could be done vertically with gravity flush in one pass. Assume also that the barrel is clamped and not turning. Although something done this way would...
