Gunsmiths in Central NC I am not taking any new work until March 2013. Like most I have lots of work backed out the door. There are several other very good gunsmiths in North Carolina. Blair Clowis, Greensboro/Archdale area Dan Glover, Rolesville, NC Mark Hunt, Walburg/Winston Salem, NC...

Dave kiff/ Pt&G makes piloted counter bores. Nat Lambeth

Another angle If your lathe and set up is rigid then threads should be the same from start to finish. This is why machining students are tought in school to take multiple passes without changing the compound settings the closer one gets to the final pass. Bob's Snake oil helps keep the the...

Don't ship to this FFL by Fedex Fedex left three Kelby actions at my gate at the road.... They destroyed two complete rifles that were very well packed. It took 13 months and a law suit to get settlement. UPS is not much better on settlements for damages. Don't buy their insurance, it is...

Extractors I have all three sizes at my shop, and can get you a measurement. But there is a third option. Use a modified M-16 extractor. They have a retaining pin and may be a little tougher in case of a catrstrophic event. PT&G sells both the extractor and the milling jig. Nat Lambeth

If you want to FTR, the Stolle Panda F-Class is at the top of the list. I build the Jeff Rorer Series rifle. It includes a Stolle Panda F-Class action 20 moa dove tail base, McMillian Long Range Prone stock, w/ 4 way buttplate, thumb wheel adjustable cheek rest, anschutz rail under the front...

Do you need an explaination of amorphous amonia(oil emersion) vs acquous amonia (water emersion). It seems that amorphous amonia can more than double the molecular strength of amonia saturation. One does not have the same oxidation(pitting of steel) issues with the stronger oil based amonia...

Nut or nutless it does not effect the accuracy just makes one barrel fit many actions. It was a real cost saver for Savage. Kinda like the old Remington 788s. I have done thousands either way the customer wants. Nat Lambeth

Spray case lube... Dillon makes a great pump spray case lube in 8 oz bottles. You can get some liquid lanolin and some Ever Clear from the liquor store.. The Ever Clear is the carrier and the lanonlin is the residue lubricant. Nat Lambeth

Hunting bullets for hunting and target bullets for target shooting I have hunted and shot for 50+ years, from mice to moose. In my opinion using target bullets for hunting is both foolish and unsportsmen like. I like fast expanding bullets only on varmints and controlled expansion bullets on...

High temperature bearing grease woorks fine and is much less expensive. Recomended by the Machinist Handbook. Nat Lambeth

Borden Timberline is as good as it gets. Nat Lambeth

Secure the action in a soft jawed vice. Take a large straight blade screwdriver and a rubber mallet, line the bale up with the rear of the mag box. Smack it with the your hand both holting the screwdriver and pulling on the back of the mag box. It will jump right out of the grooves in the...

Your 300 Win Mag.. Another if you build on your Pre 64 Win model 70 action, you will loose bullet seating room because of the short magazine well. I would recomend you look at Jim Bordens actions. Why not build as good of rifle as you can. Jim Kelbly and John Pierce also make fine actions. Nat...

Jim Borden, wife Joan and family are great folks. They make and sell fine actions, both target and hunting actions. Nat Lambeth

Don't think your alone. I ordered a reamer on the 6th of March and it arrived last week. 6 months and 2 weeks later. It was a custom grind and I am grateful to mr Kiff and his folks. Nat Lambeth

Toney: When I time and true a Savage action. I use a .701 PT&G bolt body (round or fluted). They are made long so .020-.040" has to be removed after the lugs are trued to adjust the priamary extraction. I also remove the bur at the shelf and helical cocking ramp. I make a steel shouldered cap...

GM TOP Engine Cleaner Be aware the GM Top engine cleaner sold today is not the same GM Top engin cleaner used 5 years ago. The older GM Top engin cleaner came in a metal can and the part number started with 10 the new GM engine cleaner comes in a plastic bottle and the part number starts wit...

Sam: The .284 Winchester is used regularily in F-Open. A opened up 6.5 X .284 (Lapua brass is the choice) to .284 with a Sinclair expander mandrel then full length sized with a Redding .309 neck die will fix your brass. A loaded .284 (180 Berger) in a no neck turned Lapua case will have a neck...

I suggest you get your Savage timed and trued. Your problems will go away. Savages can have multiple issues. Nat Lambeth
