I need to replace the ties on my old one. It's never seen a washing machine, and has plenty "character"!

For 2000 fps, 18 Bn is right in the ball park.

I nominate this as the most ridiculous whine of the month.

You will need to work up your own load. My load in a 46" barrel won't relate to your rifle. Ball park, 50 gr. 3F.
Find your most accurate load, learn your trajectory, and use the same load. When we...

I built a couple hundred guns using old motor oil, applied with a small brush. Shows up well on walnut, a bit harder to see on maple. Easy clean up with paint or lacquer thinner. With inletting...

I see I misunderstood which company you are talking about. You are referring to the old Sharon Rifle Co. shop, while I was commenting on the later day company.
When the company you refer to went out...

Actually, Montana Rifle Barrel Co., and Montana Rifle Co. were separate, yet together. Brian did the barrels, son Jeff had the rifle co. I worked at Montana Rifle Co., and the barrel business was 20...

When I had checkering to finish, I just used the same finish that was used on the rest of the rifle. It can be thinned a bit if needed. You may just need some stock wax. The Birchwood Casey stuff...

You will gain speed with experience. I was pretty timid the first few I built. I got to where I knew the wood would have to be taken out, and would hog them out in pretty short order.

Good advise. Tool and die knowledge will take you further than anything else. Doing wood work is gravy. If you just want to work on black rifles, little knowledge would be necessary.

I've got rid of quite a bit of the stuff I had collected over the years. That doesn't stop me from accumulating more, though!
My latest thing to do is to look for quality level wind bait casting...

I used to hunt snakes to collect venom back 50 years ago. Back then, we could milk them in the field and release them again. When they changed it so we had to take them to a lab to have them milked,...

Some of it may depend on if it is push feed or controlled feed. I could see a Remington doing it, but not a Mauser. Followers are designed for specific case designs to function in a particular...

The only gripe I had about using it, it also killed all the worms in my garden. That's where I get my night crawlers!

If you need to sweeten lead, this is the prime time of year to pick up solder at yard sales. I've gotten pounds of it, just by asking if they have any.

Now I'm puzzled. When I was at Rancho de la Golandrinas (sp), I was told that scene was filmed there.
