Evelio, I'll shoot you a PM to discuss this rifle a bit more. The rifle appears in good enough shape to get my feet wet this Summer but might send to you over the Winter to give it a once over and inspect the chamber/barrel. At this point I'm not touching the damaged bolt as it will just make...

Well it was advertised as being built by Bill Myers, why do you believe it wasn't? Here a pic of the rifle as well as the bottom and the chewed up bolt. It's got a tuner but I need to research the proper way to use it.

This 1913 has been totally customized. The receiver was sleeved with a thick machined aluminum sleeve, I believe the receiver is glued into the sleeve, I'm not even sure if the action screw goes into the original/factory tapped hole or if it goes directly into the sleeve. Its also a totally...

Yeah I was very surprised to see only one action screw, the trigger guard appears to be glued into the stock. It's possible I'm missing something but I see just one screw. Do they ever glue in rimfire actions or just centerfire actions. I would mess with the torque of the action screw but some...

Thanks for the tips. I'm liking the sounds of the On target app. I'll give it a try. And I agree this wood bench feels like a futile exercise. I was hoping I could make it work at least for testing but it's not looking good. I try to "pre load" the tail of the bench to reduce flex but it's just...

I picked up a Billy Myers custom Anschutz 1913 rifle recently with a Shilen barrel and tuner. I bought 2 boxes each of 2 lots of Tenex and one lot of Match to try. Unfortunately all I have now to shoot off now is a wood bench that has some flex in the back but I'm working on getting a concrete...

Thanks guys, I'll try to get some flags next month from Ray. The double vane setup looks like it would really help determine the direction of the wind well.

I'm almost done with my BR setup, one of the last remaining pieces of equipment I need at some point are wind flag, I searched some online but have no idea of what I'm looking at and what is a good flag versus a bad flag. Can someone give me some suggestions of where to start, looks like I'll...

Just got a deal on a Sinclair front rest with the AP top. I need to order the benchrest top for it and an Edgewood bag. They have a standard version and a reinforced version. I'm leaning toward the reinforced model but open to suggestions.

Our $2900 for our family of 3 came today, luckily we're both still working. The cash will help with our sudden $5k A/C & furnace replacement. This year can't end soon enough, early March brought tornados that devastated our town, my very healthy mother got a staph infection that held her in the...

Glad to hear you're on the mend, doesn't sound like a lot of fun. The real fun begins if you develop pneumonia which luckily you didn't. Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope to skip it but you never know especially since I'm working an "essential" job.

Lol, an island capsizing, now I've heard it all. If you're that dumb you shouldn't be able to operate a motor vehicle.

The common flu has a death rate of more like 0.1% not 1:36 which is nearly 3%. The world death rate at the moment for COVID is 5.2% but far less so far in the US, Italy and Spain are close to 10% but could get watered down the more positive tests are uncovered. I'm 37 and in good physical shape...

Thanks guys, great info.

I just read a bit more about the bushing system and they recommend you place the bushing on the rod before putting your patch on the jag or in this case the brush.

I need to buy a bore guide for my custom Anschutz 1913, I was looking at these which utilize swappable bushings. http://www.mwerksllc.com/anschutz.php So I've got both lengths of the 22 cal Pro Shot carbon rods, the shorter might work but due to the stock profile it might push me to use the...

I looked, my rods are Tipton Deluxe 1pc carbon fiber rods. What rods do you prefer? What is considered a bench rest quality brush, I've used a lot of Pro Shot brushes, are they decent?

Yes really, precision pistols shooters still use brushes with no stigma attached, if you mention brushes in the company of precision rifle shooters most act like you're ruining your barrel. That's why I asked so I'm following the best recommended practices. In my F class barrel I've had decent...

I'll get some C4 and hold off on using a brush, that doesn't surprise me, most precision rifle guys look at brushes like like the devil. What types of jags and accessories do you guys like? I've already got a nice 1 piece fiberglass rod. Currently I've just got a cheapo patch jag and have the...

Thanks guys, sounds like a 1pc bag would be the safest bet.
