Marlin owners has a lot of info on the 444 and loads for it. I have a Redfield peep sight on my 444, a Lyman on my 1894, a self made Skinner type on my Mossberg 375, another redfield on one 336 and...

Generator was pulled out a couple weeks ago and ran. Ran a couple days in Jan/feb. Battery tender shows green, enough fuel for a week if run 24/7 so we should be GTG .
If you're shooting them in an ar15, a GC base usually shoots better as it protects the bullet base as it passes over the gas port. I have the NOE 454-280-RF and their 454-307-RF molds.

The only reason I ever undo those nuts if when replacing the faucet. So, if they're so corroded that they don't want to come off easily drill into it and hit it with a chisel or punch to break the...

If it's already crowned I'd leave it alone. If not, generally I'll just do a 11 degree crown and leave a nice flat. I'd also make him a timed octagon muzzle thread cap for when the suppressor isn't...

Ever run across the "made in the USA with domestic and globally sourced parts" when the item is only a single piece with a sticker on it? Want to guess where the sticker was made vs the item?

There's also the Rock Island 22TMC rifle, rebarreled to 9mm. It comes in walnut stock and a tactical version. I'm good at spending other peoples money.

It can be done with an AR, but the barrel nut will be more or less captive. I had a 223 heavy barrel like that where you couldn't take the barrel nut off without removing the extension or turning...

I was hoping the annealing would do the trick for you. You don't suppose they sent a 8x56R or a 8x50 Lebel die mismarked as a 8x50R do you? Your chamber cast looks like a 8x50R which has more of...

I use mine as is for deer hunting with a 174gr Hornady. There are a lot of fakes out there, but your rifle should be marked as a #5 BSA or Fazakerley and have the lightening cuts on the receiver...

I've ordered from stens and Jacks small engine parts. There's a good chance your starter just needs cleaned/lubed and perhaps a new bendix.

The one I had back in the early 90's was a non FFL gun. As much as I liked it I also couldn't hit squat with it. It was me and not the gun, as my buddy could shoot it well. So down the road it went.

Sounds like the non fireformed cases are hitting where the ring is. I see in your process outline that annealing the necks/shoulders was absent. Often when pushing back a shoulder on a case they...

Sos when you colored/dykem/sharpied the case and tried to chamber it like hpbear101 suggest, where was the coloring worn off the case? That will show you where the issue is.

Every time I've used evaporust it has etched the steel slightly which would be the end of a reloading die. The die bodies are hardened steel. Wire brush the outside and use a 3m pad on the inside. ...

It's fine, lots of 44 and 450 barrels with 5/8-24 threads. That said I prefer 11/16-24 on them just to be difficult. 44 AR10 wildcat barrel I'm making for a buddy with 5/8"-24 threads, Mine...

Most of those finishes will stick better to a parkerized finish than bare blasted steel prepared with the correct media to tooth up the surface. Parkerizing is chemically bonded to the surface of...

I'd think you should be fine with a smaller gas port then. I've made a few midlength 450BM barrels and used a .081" port on them which has a lower port pressure. Are you getting ejector swipes?

Yes you can make a multi caliber can. They're likely not going to approve "MULTI" just like on a form 1 SBR they no longer approve "MULTI" for the caliber even if that's what the receiver is marked....
